Use case · rail and public transport

every trip, every driver.
the timetable, covered.

Vehicle rotations, crew duties, depot slots and maintenance intervals in one model. kint covers the timetable at the lowest cost under labour rules and vehicle limits, and shows which rule binds.

timetable · tomorrowthree vehicles out
The situation

three vehicles out. the timetable still runs.

Three vehicles are out tomorrow, one for an unplanned repair and two for scheduled maintenance. The timetable stays the same. Which vehicles take which rotations, which drivers take which duties, and which trips change depot? Every swap touches rest times, qualifications and the next maintenance interval.

rotations and duties couple

A vehicle swap changes the duties of every driver on it. Solving vehicles first and crews second leaves the cheaper combined plan unseen.

labour rules are dense

Rest times, shift lengths, breaks and route knowledge each restrict who can drive what.

maintenance intervals bind

Kilometres and hours since the last inspection decide which vehicle may run which rotation.

disruption needs a fast re-plan

When a vehicle fails, the plan for the rest of the day has to change from its current state.

The decisions

what teams bring to kint.

Each decision comes back as a plan, the rule that binds it, and the gap to the best possible plan. A person releases it before it is used.

01 · vehicle rotationWhich vehicle runs which rotation, so every trip is covered and every maintenance interval holds?
Returns

Rotations per vehicle with depot moves, the binding interval, and bound and gap.

Empty runs between depots are part of the cost, so the plan keeps them short.

problem type · vehicle routing

02 · crew rosteringWhich driver takes which duty, within rest times, qualifications and route knowledge?
Returns

Duties per driver within labour law and works agreements, with the rule that binds.

Preferences enter as goals. Labour law and works agreements stay hard constraints.

problem type · workforce scheduling

03 · disruption re-planningA vehicle fails at noon. Which swaps cover the rest of the day with the least change for passengers and crews?
Returns

A re-planned afternoon from the current state, with every change listed.

The operations team sees what moved and releases the new plan.

problem type · resource allocation

What changes

today, and with kint.

The people stay the same. They work with a plan that states its own quality and its own reasons.

How it runs

four steps to the first plan.

Exports from your scheduling system, depot system or ERP are enough to start. kint's decision agent drafts the model from the planners' description. In the pilot, kint's forward deployed engineers (FDEs), who work directly with the customer's team, review it with the experts.

01

connect timetable and fleet data

Timetable, vehicle list, maintenance intervals and duty rules, as read-only exports.

02

describe the rules

Planners state labour rules, depot limits and priorities in their own words. The agent writes them down for review.

03

solve and compare

Rotations and duties next to today's plan, with bound and gap stated.

04

release and run

A person releases the plan. It goes back only through an API you control.

Questions

what teams ask first.

Do we need a flagship product for rail?
No packaged flagship covers rail. The same engine, the same record and the same five stages are set up with your team on the platform.
Can kint work next to our scheduling system?
Yes. Data comes in as read-only exports. Approved plans go back only through an API you control; your scheduling system decides whether to apply them.
Who checks the model?
Planners review each rule in their own words. In the pilot, kint's FDEs review the model with your experts.
Can we start with one depot?
Yes. A first model on one depot or one line shows the result before the scope grows.
