Abstract: Abstract Railway traffic now and in future faces ever-growing challenges. On the one hand, infrastructure measures must be planned and in the medium respectively long term corresponding operating programs have to be generated. On the other hand, in the short term economical and political reasons exert increasing influence on the requirements of timetabling as well. Consequently, it exists the need for highly optimized, automated algorithms and its corresponding intelligent conjunction. A state-of-the-art realization is reflected in the software system TAKT. The implementation offers a complete new approach to solve the problems like computing conflict-free, optimized time tables or searching, optimizing and maximizing rail freight transport train paths based on an existing operating program.
