20220105969 · 2022-04-07 ·

A system is provided that includes a detection circuit having a first and second sensor. The first sensor is configured to measure a rotational speed of a first wheel. The second sensor is coupled to a vehicle chassis and configured to measure a position over time of the vehicle chassis. The system further includes a controller circuit configured to determine a shock frequency based on the position of the vehicle chassis. The controller circuit is further configured to determine a condition (e.g., an anomalous condition) of the first wheel based on the shock frequency and the rotational speed, and may be further configured for vehicle control based on the determined condition.

AUDIO-BASED MANAGEMENT OF EQUIPMENT ONBOARD A TRAIN
20220097744 · 2022-03-31 ·

A Head-of-Train device suitable for mounting inside a cab of a train is disclosed. The Head-of-Train device includes a memory and a processing unit communicatively coupled to the memory, wherein the processing unit is configured to execute one or more instructions in the memory to synthesize an audio message based on status associated with at least one equipment onboard the train. The Head-of Train device further includes an audio output device configured to output the audio message.

VEHICLE CONTROL SYSTEM AND METHOD

System includes a controller configured to obtain one or more of a route parameter or a vehicle parameter from discrete examinations of one or more of a route or a vehicle system. The route parameter is indicative of a health of the route over which the vehicle system travels. The vehicle parameter is indicative of a health of the vehicle system. The discrete examinations of the one or more of the route or the vehicle system separated from each other by one or more of location or time. The controller is configured to examine the one or more of the route parameter or the vehicle parameter to determine whether the one or more of the route or the vehicle system is damaged. The system also includes examination equipment configured to continually monitor the one or more of the route or the vehicle system responsive to determining that the one or more of the route or the vehicle is damaged.

PASSENGER COMMUNICATION OUTPUT CONTROL CIRCUIT FOR UNMANNED METRO TRAIN

The present disclosure relates to a passenger communication output control circuit for an unmanned metro train. The unmanned metro train is installed with passenger emergency communication units each having a communication button and a communication relay. The communication relay has a normally-closed contact pair and is linked with the communication button in a one-to-one correspondence. When the communication button is pushed down, the communication relay is energized to disconnect the normally-closed contact pair. The normally-closed contact pairs of all the coaches are connected in series to form an emergency communication circuit. Two terminals of the emergency communication circuit are respectively connected to a train power supply and an input/output module of a TCMS in the coach. When the passenger information system works normally, both a communication network and hardwire can transmit the communication signal. When the two communication signals are inconsistent, the communication signal transmitted by hardwire shall prevail.
