An Interactive Train Scheduling Tool for Solving and Plotting Running Maps

We present a tool for solving and plotting train schedules which has been developed in collaboration with the National Network of Spanish Railways (RENFE). This tool transforms railway problems into formal mathematical models that can be solved and then plots the best possible solution available. Due to the complexity of problems of this kind, the use of preprocessing steps and heuristics become necessary. The results are plotted and interactively filtered by the human user.
