<p>Multiple client devices 0102, 0103 generate desired timetables preferred by respective service operators and a timetable generation device 0101 generates a proposed timetable there-from. The timetable generation device receives the desired timetables transmitted from the client devices; supplements any undesignated portion in the desired timetables with candidate values; aggregates the supplemented timetables; uses stored line failure information to calculate a number of reschedulings required if any line were to become unusable; and transmits to the client devices a proposed timetable that minimizes the rescheduling count. Each client device displays the proposed timetable to acquire approval or rejection thereof for transmission to the timetable generation device. The client devices may also propose timetable amendments. Thus where railway operations are divided into two layers, a railway infrastructure operator may generate an optimised timetable from the desired timetables of multiple service operators who use a common railway network.</p> |
