Locomotive fleet assignment system

A computer-implemented method for determining locomotive assignments, the method comprising:

• receiving railroad information related to a railroad system including locomotives within the railroad system;
• determining railroad data from the railroad information by processing the railroad information, the railroad data associated with schedules, conditions, demand of locomotives, and availability of locomotives;
• determining a set of rules for assigning locomotives to trains, locations, and maintenance, the set of rules determined by a machine learning model trained using historical railroad data tagged with locomotive assignment information;
• determining assignments for locomotives within the railroad system using the set of rules in response to the railroad data;
• and
• outputting the assignments and executing the assignments of the locomotives.

A method for determining locomotive assignments, the method comprising:

• receiving, at a computing device of a fleet management system, railroad information related to a railroad system including locomotives within the railroad system;
• determining, by the computing device, railroad data from the railroad information by processing the railroad information, the railroad data associated with schedules, conditions, demand of locomotives, and availability of locomotives;
• determining, by the computing device, a set of rules for assigning locomotives to trains, locations, and maintenance, the set of rules determined by a machine learning model trained using historical railroad data tagged with locomotive assignment information;
• determining, by the computing device, assignments for locomotives within the railroad system using the set of rules in response to the railroad data;
• and
• outputting the assignments and executing the assignments of the locomotives.
