Since the end of the 2000s, business has become more stressful. There are more construction sites, tenders have gotten more complex, freight traffic has gotten less predictable and that means planners have less time for working on the train rotation plans, which was negative for the quality of the plans. So the planners needed support. That’s why Deutsche Bahn decided to develop a new decision support system for the train rotation planning.
This podcast is part of a series highlighting the finalist teams of the 2020 INFORMS Franz Edelman Award competition, to be held on September 29. Joining me for this episode are Hanno Schülldorf, an Expert for Mathematical Optimization and Project Manager at Deutsche Bahn, and Ralf Borndörfer, Professor of Discrete Mathematics at Freie Universitat Berlin, Head of the Optimization Department at the Zuse Institute Berlin and co-founder of LBW Optimization GmbH, to discuss Deutsche Bahn’s finalist entry for the 2020 Franz Edelman Award.
