• Abstract:
  The central thesis of this work is that the current set of models used in railroad capacity analysis, scheduling, and dispatching is such that there exists a gap between the large scale computer based models and sketch planning tools The concepts of line capacity, train scheduling, and train dispatching are examined and placed in a conceptual framework known as Sequential Problem Solving.
