Abstract

In a distributer freight train, its cars have to be sorted in such a way that during the trip of the train, only cars on the rear the train are left at any intermediate stop. The sorting requirements of the freight cars of a distributer train will be described in this paper. Then an algorithm is introduced that minimizes the number of tracks that are necessary to get the freight cars sorted in a hump yard, such that the sorting requirements are fulfilled. The algorithm is a dynamic programming approach and generalizes the algorithm of Falsafain and Tamannaei.
