Abstract

In this paper we establish a consistent encoding of freight train classification methods.
This encoding scheme presents a powerful tool for efficient presentation and analysis of classification methods, which we successfully apply to illustrate the most relevant historic results from a more theoretical point of view.
We analyze their performance precisely and develop new classification methods making use of the inherent optimality condition of the encoding.
We conclude with deriving optimal algorithms and complexity results for restricted real-world settings.
