    • A method for operating a train comprising two or more locomotives, the method comprising the steps of:



      a) Setting one or more locomotive control levels and choosing a selected route of travel;
      b) Calculating a target train speed profile and a target in-train force profile over at least a portion of the selected route;
      c) Measuring one or more operating parameters related to the operation of the train;
      d) Calculating a future train speed profile and a future in-train force profile for a future period based on at least one of the one or more operating parameters, at least one of the one or more locomotive control levels and one or more pieces of information relating to the selected route;
      e) Calculating adjusted locomotive speed control levels relating to the one or more operating parameters based on a difference between the target train speed profile and the future train speed profile, the adjusted locomotive control levels being adapted to maintain the target train speed profile over the future period;
      f) Calculating adjusted in-train force control levels relating to the one or more operating parameters based on a difference between the target in-train force profile and the future in-train force profile, the adjusted in-train force control levels being adapted to maintain the target in-train force profile below a target level over the future period;
      g) Dividing the adjusted locomotive control levels and the adjusted in-train force control levels between the two or more locomotives to form locomotive-specific locomotive control levels for each of the two or more locomotives, the locomotive-specific locomotive control levels being at least partially adapted to control and/or balance in-train force levels below the target level
      h) Provide locomotive-specific locomotive control levels for communication to each of the two or more locomotives; and
      i) Operating each of the two or more locomotives according to the locomotive-specific locomotive control levels.
