A system and method for providing a proximity alert information form a locomotive directly to a device usable by wayside personnel or vehicles thereby alerting the personnel of an approaching locomotive. The proximity alert is facilitated by current PTC and ITCM messaging infrastructure, or is retrofittable to non-PTC equipped locomotives.

A single rail shunt cable assembly is configured to repair a damaged railroad rail segment. The single rail shunt cable assembly has a shunt cable with a first shunt cable end and a second shunt cable end. A first cable clip is joined to the first shunt cable end. A second cable clip is joined to the first shunt cable end. An ohm meter is joined to the shunt cable proximate the first cable clip. The ohm meter that shows a circuit connection between the first clamp and the second clamp when the first clamp and the second clamp are attached to the damaged railroad rail segment.

Design of identification and visual protection system for mining equipment, vehicles and people exposed to possible high potential interactions, this system is the combination of different lighting techniques, which together offer a new product with the advantages of delivering a Greater capacity to be visualized in the field, preventing identification and warning problems in mining equipment.

Its form and use can help reduce the risks and exposure of equipment, vehicles and people where they can be implemented. Considerably increasing the identification distance, even without any external light emission.

The present invention discloses a platform and method for intelligent management of integration of construction and maintenance of rail transportation work, comprising: a work construction information sharing module based on GIS and BIM is configured to realize the integration and data sharing between BIM model of each station and section of the rail transportation and a 3D geological management platform of rail transportation; a work construction informatization management module based on progress control is configured to provide an information control of work preparation plan, contract performance and measurement and pricing, safety and quality investigation, risk early warning and design change in the work construction stage; a rail transportation operation and maintenance module based on the integration of construction and maintenance is configured to provide an information management and control of equipment, materials and safety risk early warning in the rail transportation operation and maintenance stage. The present invention overcomes the shortcomings of single function of traditional technical methods and poor data effectiveness, and improving the sharing of engineering construction data resources, intelligent progress control and traceability of historical problems.

Systems and methods are provided for worker protection. The worker protection systems comprise a plurality of alert devices, comprising one or more wearable personal alert devices, each worn by a person (e.g., worker), and one or more companion alert devices that broadcast alerts or signals triggering alerts. The companion alert devices comprise vehicle-mounted alert devices, configured for operation on vehicles (e.g., trains), and wayside detection units, configured for placement on or near paths of the vehicles. The wayside detection units may be operable to autonomously detect and track the vehicles.
