train scheduling

Train scheduling is the process of planning and coordinating train departures, arrivals, and routes to ensure efficient and safe movement. It involves assigning times to trains at different stations, managing track and platform usage, and avoiding conflicts or delays. The goal is to optimize transportation flow, minimize waiting times, and accommodate passenger demand. Modern scheduling uses detailed data and technology, such as computer systems, to adapt to changes like delays or maintenance, ensuring smooth operation across the entire network.
