Patent ID: 8818584

Claim:
A system comprising: an interface module configured to determine a captured state of vehicles that are actually moving in a transportation network according to associated schedules and a proposed modification to one or more of the schedules, the captured state representing actual locations of the vehicles in the transportation network at a selected time; a simulation module configured to simulate movement of the vehicles from the actual locations of the vehicles at the selected time according to the proposed modification to the one or more of the schedules, the movement of the vehicles simulated from the selected time of the captured state of the vehicles; and a resolution module configured to determine one or more impacts of implementing the proposed modification to the one or more of the schedules on the movement of the vehicles that is simulated, wherein the resolution module is configured to use the one or more impacts on the movement of the vehicles that is simulated to determine whether to actually implement the proposed modification in actual travel of the vehicles.
