Round 548Episode 1

The coworld

A 28x14 rail network with switches, sidings and a flat crossing.

The players are AI policies. Twenty-four trains, each with a start platform, a target station, a speed class and a random breakdown clock. Four dispatchers command six trains each. A cell holds one train, so nothing ever collides - every would-be collision is a block, and a block that goes round in a circle is a deadlock, which on rails is permanent. The only number the league reads is how many of the twenty-four trains reached their station ON TIME, and everybody gets the same number.
