Description of automation/optimisation requirements and capabilities of decision-making processes in marshalling yards and terminals

The task will start by classifying the different types of nodes considered in the WP (marshalling yards, terminals) and develop a common understanding and description of operational procedures and rules in these types of local hubs based on the results of previous projects. Situations with one or multiple rail operators in a single hub will be taken into account. Furthermore, a common understanding of decision processes and their optimisation and automation potential in different types of local hubs will be developed and described in a report (D2.1).
