A communication system includes communication units onboard a vehicle system. A first unit receives satellite positioning data and correction data based on phase measurements of satellite signals. A second unit receives the satellite positioning data. One or more processors determine a first geographical position of the first unit based on the position correction data and the satellite positioning data. The processors communicate the position correction data or a copy thereof to the second unit. The processors determine second geographical position data of the second unit based on the position correction data and the satellite positioning data. The one or more processors communicate the second geographical position data that is determined to the first communication unit.

The present invention relates to a fault diagnosis apparatus for a brake of a train, an automatic train operation system operated due to degradation of braking performance using the same, and a fault diagnosis method for the brake of the train. In particular, the present invention is directed to determining that a fault has occurred in the brake when the difference between the current acceleration of the train and the required acceleration is greater than or equal to a reference value and safely moving the train to a stopping point through a powering operation or coasting operation such that emergency braking is not applied by an automatic train protection (ATP) system if the fault has occurred in the brake. When a fault occurs in the brake of the train, the train is automatically operated such that emergency braking is not triggered by an ATP system.

A method and an apparatus for a train control system are disclosed, and are based on virtualization of train control logic and the use of cloud computing resources.
