+
+### Ensemble Strategy
+
+#### Weighted Voting
+```python
+# Weight calculation (performance-based)
+weight_i = R²_score_i / Σ(R²_scores)
+
+# Final prediction
+prediction = Σ(weight_i × prediction_i)
+```
+
+**Example Weights**:
+```json
+{
+  "xgboost": 0.215,      // Best performer
+  "lightgbm": 0.208,
+  "gradient_boosting": 0.195,
+  "catboost": 0.195,
+  "random_forest": 0.187
+}
+```
+
+#### Confidence Calculation
+```python
+# Ensemble confidence based on model agreement
+predictions = [model.predict(features) for model in models]
+std_dev = np.std(predictions)
+
+# High agreement → High confidence
+confidence = max(0.5, min(1.0, 1.0 - (std_dev / 50)))
+```
+
+**Confidence Threshold**: 0.75 (75%)
+- If confidence ≥ 75%: Use ML prediction
+- If confidence < 75%: Fall back to optimization
+
+---
+
+## Optimization Algorithms
+
+### Constraint Programming (OR-Tools)
+
+**Algorithm**: Google OR-Tools CP-SAT Solver
+
+**Problem Type**: Constraint Satisfaction Problem (CSP)
+
+#### Variables
+```python
+# Decision variables for each trainset
+for train in trainsets:
+    for time_slot in operational_hours:
+        is_assigned[train, time_slot] = BoolVar()
+```
+
+#### Constraints
+
+**1. Fleet Coverage**
+```
+Σ(active_trains_at_time_t) ≥ min_service_trains
+∀ t ∈ peak_hours
+```
+
+**2. Turnaround Time**
+```
+end_time[trip_i] + turnaround_time ≤ start_time[trip_i+1]
+∀ consecutive trips of same train
+```
+
+**3. Maintenance Windows**
+```
+if train.status == MAINTENANCE:
+    is_assigned[train, t] = False
+    ∀ t ∈ maintenance_window
+```
+
+**4. Fitness Certificates**
+```
+if certificate_expired(train):
+    is_assigned[train, t] = False
+    ∀ t
+```
+
+**5. Mileage Balancing**
+```
+min_mileage ≤ daily_km[train] ≤ max_mileage
+∀ trains in AVAILABLE status
+```
+
+**6. Depot Capacity**
+```
+Σ(trains_in_depot_at_t) ≤ depot_capacity
+∀ t ∈ non_operational_hours
+```
+
+#### Objective Functions
+
+**Multi-objective optimization** with weighted sum:
+
+```python
+objective = (
+    0.35 × maximize(service_coverage) +
+    0.25 × minimize(mileage_variance) +
+    0.20 × maximize(availability_utilization) +
+    0.10 × minimize(certificate_violations) +
+    0.10 × maximize(branding_exposure)
+)
+```
+
+**Component Details**:
+
+1. **Service Coverage** (35% weight)
+   - Maximize trains in service during peak hours
+   - Ensure minimum standby capacity
+
+2. **Mileage Variance** (25% weight)
+   - Balance cumulative mileage across fleet
+   - Prevent overuse of specific trainsets
+   - Formula: `1 / (1 + coefficient_of_variation)`
+
+3. **Availability Utilization** (20% weight)
+   - Maximize usage of available healthy trains
+   - Minimize idle time for service-ready trainsets
+
+4. **Certificate Violations** (10% weight)
+   - Minimize assignments with expiring certificates
+   - Penalize near-expiry usage (< 30 days)
+
+5. **Branding Exposure** (10% weight)
+   - Prioritize branded trains during peak hours
+   - Maximize visibility of high-priority advertisers
+
+---
+
+### Greedy Optimization
+
+**Algorithm**: Priority-based greedy assignment
+
+**Location**: `greedyOptim/` folder
+
+#### Priority Scoring
+```python
+priority_score = (
+    0.40 × readiness_score +
+    0.25 × (1 - normalized_mileage) +
+    0.20 × certificate_validity_days +
+    0.10 × branding_priority +
+    0.05 × maintenance_gap_days
+)
+```
+
+#### Assignment Process
+
+1. **Sort trains by priority** (descending)
+2. **Iterate through time slots** (5 AM → 11 PM)
+3. **For each slot**:
+   - Select highest-priority available train
+   - Check constraints (turnaround, capacity)
+   - Assign if feasible
+   - Update train state (location, mileage)
+4. **Fallback**: If no train available, flag as gap
+
+**Complexity**: O(n × t) where n = trains, t = time slots
+
+**Advantages**:
+- Fast execution (< 1 second for 40 trains)
+- Interpretable decisions
+- Good for real-time adjustments
+
+**Disadvantages**:
+- May not find global optimum
+- Sensitive to initial priority weights
+
+---
+
+### Genetic Algorithm
+
+**Algorithm**: Evolutionary optimization
+
+**Location**: `greedyOptim/genetic_algorithm.py`
+
+#### Parameters
+- **Population size**: 100 schedules
+- **Generations**: 50 iterations
+- **Crossover rate**: 0.8
+- **Mutation rate**: 0.1
+- **Selection**: Tournament (k=3)
+
+#### Chromosome Encoding
+```python
+# Each chromosome = complete schedule
+chromosome = [train_id_for_trip_0, train_id_for_trip_1, ..., train_id_for_trip_n]
+```
+
+#### Fitness Function
+```python
+fitness = (
+    service_quality_score -
+    constraint_violations × penalty_weight
+)
+```
+
+#### Genetic Operators
+
+**1. Crossover (Single-point)**
+```python
+parent1 = [T1, T2, T3, T4, T5, T6]
+parent2 = [T3, T1, T4, T2, T6, T5]
+         ↓ crossover at position 3
+child1  = [T1, T2, T3, T2, T6, T5]
+child2  = [T3, T1, T4, T4, T5, T6]
+```
+
+**2. Mutation (Swap)**
+```python
+# Randomly swap two trip assignments
+schedule = [T1, T2, T3, T4, T5]
+         ↓ swap positions 1 and 3
+mutated  = [T1, T4, T3, T2, T5]
+```
+
+**Termination**: Max generations or convergence (no improvement for 10 generations)

+
+**Size**: ~5 KB
+
+**Key Parameters**:
+```python
+{
+  "RETRAIN_INTERVAL_HOURS": 48,
+  "MIN_SCHEDULES_FOR_TRAINING": 100,

+
+## Data Retention Policies
+
+### Recommended Retention
+
+**Schedule files**:
+- Keep last 365 days (17.5 MB)
+- Archive older to compressed storage
+
+**Model snapshots**:
+- Keep last 50 models (~1.25 GB)
+- Delete older snapshots
+- Keep 1 model per month for historical reference
+
+**Training history**:
+- Keep all entries (grows slowly)
+- Compress after 1000 entries
+
+**Logs**:
+- Application logs: 30 days
+- Error logs: 90 days
+- Audit logs: 1 year
+
+---
+
+## Scaling Considerations
+
+### Horizontal Scaling
+
+**API Service** (DataService):
+- Stateless - easy to scale
+- Load balancer distributes requests
+- Each instance: ~250 MB memory
+
+**ML Service** (SelfTrainService):
+- Share model files via NFS/S3
+- Only one instance should train (avoid conflicts)
+- Multiple instances can serve predictions
+
+### Vertical Scaling
+
+**Memory requirements**:
+- Minimum: 1 GB RAM
+- Recommended: 2 GB RAM
+- Optimal: 4 GB RAM (allows concurrent training + serving)
+
+**CPU requirements**:
+- Minimum: 1 core
+- Recommended: 2 cores (1 for API, 1 for training)
+- Optimal: 4 cores (parallel model training)
+
+**Storage requirements**:
+- Minimum: 5 GB
+- Recommended: 20 GB
+- Optimal: 50 GB (1-year retention)
