Railway maintenance for fixed infrastructure of Engineering, Traction Distribution, and Signal & Telecommunication departments is currently planned independently. Each department requests maintenance blocks/disconnections via the BDMS system. This planning process is decentralized and manual. This often leads to inefficient block utilization, poor coordination, and suboptimal scheduling,which may reduce asset availability and effect train operations. Detailed

Maintenance data-such as defects and overdue tasks-is maintained separately in systems like Track Management System (TMS), Signalling Maintenance & Management System (SMMS), and Traction Distribution Management System (TDMS). Meanwhile, the Control Office Application (COA) manages block corridor availability. Without integration and coordinated scheduling, maintenance blocks/disconnections are not optimally planned, resulting in asset downtime and reduced availability of fixed infrastructure for train operation.Your task is to develop an Automatic Block Planning system that integrates maintenance, defects and corridor data to generate optimized block schedules. The system should prioritize maintenance activities to minimize asset downtime and maximize the availability of critical infrastru
