摘要： Position reports from GPS receivers can be made vital through a variety of techniques including relative differential GPS corrections and a technique in which a train traveling on a fixed path is provided with a database that includes positions on fixed paths or data from which positions on fixed paths can be determined. Position reports from GPS receivers located on the vehicle are compared to the positions of the fixed paths in the database. If the distance from the position reported by the GPS receiver to the nearest point on the nearest fixed path is greater than the stated accuracy of the GPS receiver, the position report is discarded or other corrective action is taken. A second technique involves cross-checking position reports from two GPS receivers separated by a known distance, preferably mounted on a single vehicle. Still other techniques may be used.

摘要： A method and apparatus for actuating a train horn use the speed of the train to determine when to start a horn sequence such that the horn sequence complies with all applicable regulations. In one embodiment, an engineer enters a command, such as by pushing a button, when a predetermined distance from a grade crossing is reached. A processor then determines the speed of the train from a tachometer. The speed is used to determine how long it will take to reach the grade crossing. Preferably, this calculation is repeated until the time to reach the grade crossing is within a window during which the horn sequence must be started. The processor or other device then causes the horn to sound in the required pattern.

摘要： A method and system in which a vehicle carries an on-board positioning system and has access to a database of information pertaining to a plurality of fixed paths. A vector between the position of the fixed path and a position of the vehicle as reported by the positioning system is calculated prior to arriving at a point of divergence (i.e., a point at which a path branches, such as a switch on a railroad track). After passing the path divergence, a second vector is calculated between the position of the vehicle as reported by the positioning system and at least one of the alternate paths, preferably the correct alternate path. The first vector is compared to the second vector, and a determination as to which path the vehicle is on is made based on the comparison.

摘要： A method and system for compensating for wheel wear uses position and/or speed information from an independent positioning system to measure some distance over which the train has traveled. Wheel rotation information and/or distance and speed from a wheel sensor over the distance is also collected. The wheel rotation information and distance and/or speed information are then used to determine the size of the train wheels and/or a correction factor that can be used to correct the information from the wheel sensor for wheel wear. The method is performed periodically to correct for changes in wheel size over time due to wear so that the wheel rotation information can be used to determine train position and speed in the event of a positioning system failure.

摘要： A train control system requires a train operator to enter signal aspect information at each wayside signal position on a railroad and stops the train if the operator fails to enter aspect information without communicating with the wayside signal device to verify that the information entered by the operator is correct. In some embodiments, the signal aspect information is entered by pressing a button corresponding to the signal aspect information, and the location and/or arrangement of the buttons changes. Alternatively, the operator must repeat a varying sequence (such as a series of button pushes) in conjunction with and/or in addition to entering signal aspect information.

摘要： A controller determines that an end of train (EOT) has passed a point through the use of positioning systems at the head of the train (HOT) and the EOT. In a first method, the controller obtains the HOT position at a point of interest from the HOT positioning system. The controller then determines when the train has traveled a distance equal to the length of the train and then interrogates the EOT positioning system. If the difference between this position and the position reported by the HOT positioning system at the point of interest exceeds a threshold, then the EOT has passed the point. In a second method, when the HOT positioning system reaches a point of interest, the position reported by the EOT positioning system is integrated until the total distance traveled by the EOT equals the length of the train.
摘要翻译：控制器通过在火车头部（HOT）和EOT上使用定位系统来确定列车终点（EOT）已经通过点。在第一种方法中，控制器从HOT定位系统获取感兴趣点的HOT位置。然后，控制器确定列车行驶的距离等于列车的长度，然后询问EOT定位系统。如果这个位置和HOT定位系统在感兴趣点报告的位置之间的差异超过阈值，那么EOT已经过去了。在第二种方法中，当HOT定位系统到达感兴趣点时，由EOT定位系统报告的位置被整合，直到EOT行驶的总距离等于列车的长度。
