Innovative Scheduling benefits from our strong relationship with the
University of Florida.
The University has granted exclusive licenses to Innovative Scheduling
to commercialize two technologies originally developed at the University:
- Very large-scale neighborhood search techniques for solving
the railroad blocking problem
- Algorithms for solving the locomotive scheduling problem
The company provides research grants to the University of Florida to
support graduate student research. These grants enable graduate
students to work on challenging real-life optimization problems arising
in logistics. The students have access to industry data with which to
test their research idea to ensure that their work has meaningful and
practical application. As a result, the graduate students are well prepared
for careers in academia, government, consulting, and industry. The company
has awarded the following research grants to the university:
- Algorithms for Optimizing Yard operations
- Next Generation Decision Support Systems for Locomotive and Crew
Scheduling
Previous Innovative Scheduling grants to UF on locomotive and crew scheduling
have been matched by the Florida
Hi-Tech Corridor.
