Railway organizations are currently engaged in the pursuit of digitalizing rail freight transportation to optimize resource utilization and increase revenue. The use of IoT technology combined with real-time information enables train management systems to provide accurate GPS data. However, freight transport operators frequently encounter the challenge of rescheduling freight trains in real-time without the aid of a decision-making system. To overcome this obstacle, an IoT-based real-time rake schedular-reschedular heuristic has been developed. Computational studies have demonstrated that this heuristic is both efficient in terms of runtime and produces high-quality solutions. The implementation of this approach would enable freight transport operators to optimize their business operations, increase their monthly revenue, and re-schedule their rakes efficiently.
