Claim 9:
10. A method of using sensory inputs related to operational parameters of a train for automatically scoring or classifying particular train driving strategies implemented by a machine learning model for a particular train operating on a predefined route or route segment, the method comprising:
defining one or more rules related to a first set of the operational parameters, wherein each of the rules provides a Boolean, true or false classification based on whether a particular train driving strategy results in one or more of the first set of operational parameters complying with the rule; and
defining one or more comparative key performance indicators related to a second set of the operational parameters, wherein each of the comparative key performance indicators is used to rank the train driving strategy for the predefined route or route segment relative to a different train driving strategy for the same or comparable route or route segment.
