A computer-implemented method for allocating railcars in a rail yard based upon analysis of contents of the railcars is disclosed. The method includes generating, via a LiDAR sensor, images of the railcars. A network interface sends the images of the railcars to an analysis unit. The analysis unit analyzes the images of the railcars. Based on the analysis, the analysis unit determines a contents status for each of the railcars. A notification module transmits notifications to at least one of the mobile computing devices, where each of the notifications include at least one of: railcar contents statuses or images of the railcars. In response to the transmitting of the at least one notification, the railcars are sorted to different locations via at least one of the plurality of rail yard workers, where each of the different locations are based on a railcar contents status.
