RailOpt^® DSS is the configurable assistance system for the planner. It helps him automate and optimise his tasks, allowing him to carry out resource planning faster and more efficiently.

RailOpt DSS helps the planner represent specific planning constructs and determine their effects. The outcome can then be used as an aid in decision-making and a planning basis for resource planning. RailOpt DSS is not a black box, though; it integrates the user into the process of finding the optimal solution.
