Rapid Evaluation and Planning Analysis Infrastructure for Railways (REPAIR)
Frazer-Nash Consulting
In collaboration with the University of Hull
SUMMARY
REPAIR will use artificial intelligence and deep re-enforced learning techniques to develop a set of tools to improve very short-term planning (VSTP), assess the knock-on impact or perturbations to the network, and provide mitigation strategies. These tools will automatically assess the impact of delays and rapidly provide optimal mitigations, helping users to understand short term opportunities to run trains with minimum impact on the standard timetable, and helping timetable planners make decisions that will support a return to normal services after delays.
