The trackside device includes: a collection module configured to collect detection information at a side of a track; a processing module configured to process the detection information to obtain a processing result; a trackside resource control module configured to drive and control a trackside resource when a trackside resource request is received from a target train and the trackside resource is in a released state, wherein the trackside resource control module is further configured to monitor a state of the trackside resource; and a communication module configured to communicatively connect with a ground center and the target train.

The vehicle including an active suspension system (22) parameterized by a set of adjustment parameters. The railway track is cut into segments. For each segment (T), the method includes campaigns for optimization of the set of parameters, such that: during the first campaign, to each passage of the suspension system (22) on the segment (T), a first set of parameters, specific to this passage, is predefined and applied to the suspension system (22), and a comfort quality index is calculated, and then a metaheuristic algorithm is applied for determining second sets of parameters, and during each following optimization campaign, at each passage of the suspension system over the segment, one of the determined sets of parameters by the previous optimization campaign is applied to the suspension system, and the comfort quality index is calculated, and then the metaheuristic algorithm is applied in order to determine new sets of parameters.

A controller performs a stop control if a first detector detects that an article transport vehicle traveling in a first path entered a managed area, and a second detector or a third detector detects that another article transport vehicle exists in a selected path. And the controller performs a travel control if the first detector detects that an article transport vehicle traveling in a first path entered the managed area, and presence of another article transport vehicle is not detected in the selected path by the second detector or the third detector.

A rail vehicle includes a vehicle unit having operating device subsystems and a guide system including a first guide system level in which operating device subsystems are networked with one another by using a digital data bus structure, and at least one second guide system level having at least one line set associated with the analog handling of processes in the operating device subsystems. In order to provide a generic rail vehicle in which a high level of safety can be achieved with little outlay on wiring, the vehicle unit includes a guide system interface device having a first interface unit associated with the data bus structure, at least one second interface unit associated with the line set, and a control unit which, in at least one operating mode, is provided for handling the processes through the second interface unit.

An interlocking device performs route control for trains based on: first operation diagram information as train operation diagram information on a train which runs between stations; second operation diagram information as train operation diagram information on a train which moves in a station yard; and on-track position information on the trains. The interlocking device performs control with time on a signal and/or a switch on a route of a train based on different information according to whether a predetermined condition is satisfied.

In order to avoid a collision between transport units, which are moving along a transport path of a transport assembly, and/or the collision of a transport unit with a barrier and/or the surpassing of a local speed limit, for at least one transport unit (TEi) it is preemptively determined if for the transport unit (TEi) a stopping maneuver (SMi) with a predetermined cinematic may be performed, without causing a violation of these safety requirements. In case of violation of a safety requirement, the stopping maneuver is effectively activated.

A detection and warning system is provided for a railroad crossing. The system comprises a sensor configured to be mounted on an underside of a gate arm of a railroad crossing gate to detect a presence of a vehicle or other object that is obstructing the railroad crossing. The system further comprises a communication interface coupled to the sensor. In response to a detection of the vehicle or the other object, the communication interface to relay a warning signal indicative of a possible collision on the railroad crossing with the vehicle or the other object.

Example implementations relate to receiving vibration notifications from vibration sensors. In example implementations, a subset of a plurality of vibration sensors from which vibration notifications are expected may be identified based on a position of a train along a track. The plurality of vibration sensors may be arranged in a predetermined order on the track. Whether vibration notifications have not been received from consecutive, with respect to the predetermined order, vibration sensors in the subset may be determined.

A system for cooling a power generation system of a locomotive. The power generation system includes an alternator and an engine system. The alternator is coupled to the engine system. The engine system comprises one or more components. The system includes a fan providing air flow, a first sensing module to determine a first temperature of the alternator, a second sensing module to determine a second temperature of the one or more components of the engine system, and a controller. The controller regulates the air flow based on the first temperature and the second temperature.

A rail vehicle has a set of operational subsystems and a driver's cab display device for displaying information to the driver of the vehicle. The driver's cab display device has at least one central display unit. The novel rail vehicle enables flexible and targeted outputting of information to the driver of the vehicle. For that purpose, the driver's cab display device has a control unit which is connected upstream of the display unit and which is provided to organize a dynamic information content, relating to multiple operational subsystems, for the display unit.
