An exemplary method includes electronically determining that movement of a rolling stock should be prevented based on a failure condition of the rolling stock. And if it is electronically determined that movement of the rolling stock should be prevented based on the failure condition of the rolling stock, the method further includes preventing movement of the rolling stock including preventing the rolling stock from initiating a movement from a stationary position along a track within a work area defined around the rolling stock by: preventing brakes of the rolling stock from being released via one or more pneumatic components; and/or preventing the rolling stock from receiving or accepting a movement command.

The system can include: a vehicle and a remote operator platform. The system can optionally include or be used with a motion planner and a set of remote data systems. However, the system can additionally or alternatively include any other suitable set of components. The system can function to facilitate remote monitoring of a vehicle system(s), such as an unmanned rail vehicle, and/or positive train control (PTC) when operating under speed-restriction rules. Additionally, the system can function to facilitate remote monitoring, tele-operation, and/or exception handling across multiple vehicles/trains by a single operator. Additionally, the system can function to adjust command of a remotely monitored vehicle based on the observability of the environment and/or response capability of a remote monitor/tele-operator (e.g., based on line-of-sight, video latency, etc.).

A transportation system is provided. The system includes: a highway vehicle, a first set of highway points located along a path of the vehicle, a second set of highway points located along a traffic signal section, at least one RFID tag located at each of the first set and the second set of highway points, and at least one RFID tag reader located on the highway vehicle connected to a network. The at least one RFID tag located at the first set of highway points is configured to store dynamic and static characteristics of the highway vehicle as it passes the first set of highway points and the at least one RFID tag located at the second set of highway points is configured to store dynamic and static characteristics of the vehicle as it passes the second set of highway points.
