Abstract
The present invention relates to a predictive train scheduler that continually adjusts train routes and controls in real time so that train throughput on the railway system is optimized. The schedule repairer makes intelligent decisions through the collection of real time data as well as the use of predictive algorithms which are able to estimate potential conflicts, resolve the conflicts and leave the rest of the movement plan undisturbed in a very short amount of time.
