Yards & Ramps

Key Constraints

Trains (over 3,000 active per day)

Crews (6,000 to 8,000 per day on trains)

Cars (over 107,000)

Tracks (32,000 miles)


Dynamic Resource Management Concept

Each train demands the 5 critical resources over time

For a train plan to be effective, all trains must have all resources allocated

As the train schedule moves, the resource demand moves

Business Pain

Less than half of all network schedules achieved

Track velocity = 17 mph. Every increase in 1 mph =

Hired many crew members last year to improve schedules – huge cost (fixed) and now customers over-schedule and use crews unwisely

Workforce issues and logistics

Appear at capacity but a system of over-schedule

Backup ramification to car management – terminal congestion – fuel consumption – dwell location – intermodal SLAs etc.


Concept Modeling for Dynamic Resource Management


Case Study

Monitoring and Optimizing: Trains, Track Segments, Crews, Terminal Locations, etc


Dynamic Resource Management Case Study

All parts of a complicated process are monitored from end-to-end

There is a lack of :

• Visibility into the overall process

• Notification if something is down

• Correlating activities from various unrelated applications

Increased need for:

• Tracking history

• Compliance and governance

• Correlation of unrelated events

• Root cause analysis

There’s always a plan…. but things never go according to plan
