Abstract:
A system and method identifies vehicles to be included in a multi-vehicle system that is to travel along one or more routes for an upcoming trip, and determines plural different potential builds of the multi-vehicle system. The different potential builds represent different sequential orders of the vehicles in the multi-vehicle system. The system and method also simulate travels of the different potential builds for the upcoming trip, calculate a safety metric, consumption metric, and/or build metric for the different potential builds based on travels that are simulated, and generates a quantified evaluation of the safety metric, consumption metric, and/or build metric for the different potential builds for use in selecting a chosen potential build of the different potential builds. The chosen potential build is used to build the multi-vehicle system for the upcoming trip.

Claim (Index 6):
The method of  claim 5 , wherein the safety metrics are calculated as the inter-vehicle forces exerted on couplers that mechanically connect the vehicles in the different potential builds in the travels that are simulated, the inter-vehicle forces calculated during one or more of tractive power applied at an upper designated power limit or braking effort applied at an upper designated braking limit during the travels that are simulated.
