ABSTRACT:
A centralized traffic control system for complex railroad areas analyzes the intended path of travel of various trains to determine the existence of any conflicts. When one or more conflicts are detected, the system analyzes various options to resolve the conflict with a minimum disruption to the system based on predetermined constraints. The analysis proceeds on the basis of a heuristic search for conflict resolution. A successful resolution of the conflict is then implemented without requiring operator intervention.
