Thin lines in this map show railroads in 1870 which roughly indicate technology development in shown countries with boundaries of that time. How does your country's present technology level relatively resemble this one? Source is in green banner.

Hey everyone, I was thrilled to work on this project which optimizes freight train routes!   This project has been a fantastic opportunity to contribute to a solution that can significantly reduce freight delivery time. As my friend mentioned, our system uses a two-pronged approach to optimize routes: Network-level optimization: We leverage the Floyd-Warshall algorithm with a dynamic weight system that considers factors beyond just distance, like track quality and congestion. Individual train route refinement: We developed ways to find the most efficient path within the chosen network for each train with multiple stops. This project has the potential to revolutionize freight transportation by significantly reducing delivery times and improving overall network efficiency within large-scale railway systems. Huge thanks to Prof.(Dr). Prachet Bhuyan sir for his guidance throughout the project! #freighttransportation #railwayoptimization #logistics #engineering

Thrilled to announce the completion of our collaborative minor project aimed at revolutionizing freight train route optimization within large-scale railway systems! 🌟 🔍 Leveraging the robust Floyd-Warshall algorithm, a powerful all-pairs shortest path algorithm, and enhancing its capabilities through dynamic weighting, our team, including Vinit Agarwal, Vaishnavi Verma , Avinash Pandey, Sukirti Kashyap , has ensured that we're not just looking at distance, but also considering factors like track conditions, congestion, and train characteristics to ensure optimal routing. 💡 Our approach ensures that every freight travel is meticulously planned, taking into account real-time factors and selecting the best route between specific stoppages. 📉 The results? A significant 20% reduction in freight delivery times! 🚚💨 Exciting times ahead as we pave the way for more efficient and effective freight transportation through our collaborative effort. Stay tuned for updates! #RailwayOptimization #FreightTransportation #Innovation #FloydWarshallAlgorithm #Efficiency #Logistics #MinorProject #Collaboration

Sundays on the tracks once sparked quite the debate! The rail industry’s history is rich with unexpected twists, turns, and fascinating stories. We love sharing these glimpses from the past! #TrainTrivia #RailEnthusiasts #RailwayProfessionals #UKRailIndustry
