A method for in-situ and real-time collection and processing of geometric parameters of railway lines, in a particular but non-limiting manner to those related to the height and stagger of the contact wire in electrified lines and the gauges to specific elements of the infrastructure in any line, generated based on static measurements starting from two-dimensional scenes perpendicular to the track axis, by determining the number of angular positions per scene, determining the minimum number of passes in each position, obtaining the raw coordinates, applying an averaging algorithm, applying offset corrections, transforming coordinates and applying either the steps to salve for height and stagger of the overhead contact line, or applying the steps to salve for gauges to specific elements of the infrastructure. An optimized, efficient and simple method is achieved which enables the real-time management and processing of the data obtained from the railway infrastructure.

In one aspect, a network node receives a message indicating that UEs that require service are expected to enter a service area of the network node. The network node determines, based on the message, that a change in power management for radio equipment corresponding to the service area is required. The network node determines a timing for initiating the change in power management for the radio equipment, taking into account a predicted time for when the UEs are expected to enter the service area, and triggers the change in power management for the radio equipment, based on the determined timing. In another aspect, the network node predicts a departure time from the first service area for the UEs. The network node then sends to another network node, prior to the predicted departure time, an indication that the UEs are expected to enter a service area of the other network node.

A system and method for simulating positive train control (PTC) systems in a local and controlled environment using software and hardware. The system can simulate various functionalities of the PTC system in the environment using software and hardware components. The system can instruct the software of a train management computer (TMC) to control electromechanical valves to simulate air compression on brake pipes in response to the PTC system executing a penalty on the locomotive. The system can display statuses of various systems on the locomotive to a user using a cab display unit (CDU). The system can control the software and hardware components to simulate warnings and actions from the PTC system allowing locomotive engineers and conductors to experience the PTC system for optimum training.
