Title: CONFLICT: RAILROAD CLASSIFICATION YARD TRIM-END SIMULATION MODEL
Accession Number: 00341974
Record Type: Component
Availability: Find a library where document is available Abstract: Trim-end design evaluation plays an important part in the entire design process for railroad classification yards because the trim end is usually one of the major bottlenecks in a classification yard. A computerized tool called CONFLICT is described that can be used in the trim-end design evaluation process. CONFLICT simulates trim-end activities in both parallel and in-line classification yards. Sample applications of the model to real-world problems have proved that CONFLICT is extremely useful in evaluating trim-end designs.
