Systems of methods for managing operations of a classification yard

A system for managing operations in a classification yard, comprising:

• at least one processor;
• and
• a memory operably coupled to the at least one processor and storing processor-readable code that, when executed by the at least one processor, is configured to perform operations including:
• determining, for a cut being routed to a destination train, one or more of a release speed, coupling speed, and a predicted speed of the cut at one or more points of a route along which the cut is traveling to reach the destination train, wherein each in a set of event messages represents an event that occurred during the traveling of the cut along the route to reach the destination train;
• obtaining real-world measurements associated with an actual speed of the cut at the one or more points of the route;
• autotuning one or more coefficients associated with the predicted speed of the cut at the one or more points of the route based on the real-world measurements associated with the actual speed of the cut at the one or more points of the route;
• determining a status of one or more devices used to route the cut to the destination train based, at least in part, on thresholding analysis applied to the real-world measurements associated with the actual speed of the cut at the one or more points of the route;
• and
• storing the set of event messages in an event log for subsequent replaying in a graphical user interface (GUI).

A computer-based tool for of managing operations in a classification yard, the computer-based tool including non-transitory computer readable media having stored thereon computer code which, when executed by a processor, causes a computing device to perform operations comprising:

• determining, for a cut being routed to a destination train, one or more of a release speed, coupling speed, and a predicted speed of the cut at one or more points of a route along which the cut is traveling to reach the destination train, wherein each in a set of event messages represents an event that occurred during the traveling of the cut along the route to reach the destination train;
• obtaining real-world measurements associated with an actual speed of the cut at the one or more points of the route;
• autotuning one or more coefficients associated with the predicted speed of the cut at the one or more points of the route based on the real-world measurements associated with the actual speed of the cut at the one or more points of the route;
• determining a status of one or more devices used to route the cut to the destination train based, at least in part, on thresholding analysis applied to the real-world measurements associated with the actual speed of the cut at the one or more points of the route;
• and
• storing the set of event messages in an event log for subsequent replaying in a graphical user interface (GUI).
