RAILYARD TRAIN DETECTION AND EARLY WARNING SYSTEM

The train detection system comprises a wireless communication network further comprising train detection modules attached to catenary poles at the entrance and exit of the railyard. Each train detection module is equipped with a plurality of diverse sensors configured to detect trains and other on-track vehicles. The diverse sensors are simultaneously active and work together for detecting an approaching or leaving train. The train detection modules generate train alerts which are transmitted wirelessly over the wireless communication network. Each of the railyard workers wears a personal alert device capable of wirelessly connecting with the train detection modules and receiving the train alerts over the said wireless communication network. The train alert modules are capable of transmitting alerts wirelessly to personal alert devices and other train alert modules. Train alert modules are capable of generating audio visual warnings for any personnel which may not be equipped with personal alert module.

TRAIN-INFORMATION MANAGEMENT DEVICE AND TRAIN-INFORMATION MANAGEMENT METHOD

A train-information management device mounted on a train, includes: an intra-block position calculator to convert information on a kilometrage that indicates a position of the train into information on a block number and an intra-block position of a plurality of blocks into which a route of the train is divided and that are used when a train position is specified by a train radio system; and an on-board router to communicate the information on the block number and the intra-block position to a ground side by using a system that is different from a system that is used for communication between the ground side and a train side via a radio base station in the train radio system.

TRAIN CONTROL SYSTEM, BASE STATION CONTROL DEVICE, GROUND WIRELESS BASE STATION, AND ON-VEHICLE WIRELESS STATION

A train control system enabling a train to smoothly travel while performing handover. The system includes an on-vehicle wireless station mounted on a train following a preceding train and connected to an on-vehicle control device of the train, ground wireless base stations capable of wirelessly communicating with the on-vehicle wireless station, and a base station control device to control the base stations. The ground wireless base station is located between the ground wireless base station with which the on-vehicle wireless station is communicating and the ground wireless base station forming a communication area including a travelling permission point determined by a position of the train. The base station control device reserves radio resources of the ground wireless base stations while communicating with the ground wireless base station.

System and/or method for platooning

The method can include: creating a platoon; maintaining a platoon; responding to a platoon event; and separating a platoon. However, the method can additionally or alternatively include any other suitable elements. The method functions to facilitate cooperative transportation (platooning) of a plurality of payloads by way of the cars.

Methods Systems Devices Circuits and Functionally Related Machine Executable Instructions for Operational Commands Based Cybersecurity of a transportation Management Network
20230007046 · 2023-01-05 · ·

Disclosed are methods, systems, devices, circuits and functionally related machine executable instructions for cybersecurity of a transportation management network, based on operational commands. A unit policy generation module generates expected behavior policies for transportation management network units—based on the signals/data-streams received by the behavior monitoring server and/or based on data, from one or more resources, indicative of the transportation network's activity. Generated policies are relayed to respective agents associated with the policy-generated/profiled unit. Expected behavior policies of the transportation management network units are based on Railway Signaling to and from systems used to control railway traffic safety and trains collision prevention.
