摘要： The present invention relates to the field of automated transportation systems. Particularly, it relates to a transportation system comprising guide-ways or tracks, vehicle units [100, 100a] with wheel-axle assembly for switching of vehicles from primary [20] to secondary track [22] on changing trajectory to maintain same vertical plane and the method. It comprises of central controller [101], vehicle chassis with main wheels [2W], guide wheels [4iw, 4ow], guide blocks [05, 06], actuator [09]. The chassis [30] has set of contractible axles fixed to wheels [2W] to enables movement from primary [20] to secondary track [22] by withdrawing the wheels [2W] from expanded position [C] to contracted position [C] or vice-versa. The forces required to compress the spring loaded axle axis is derived from inner guide wheels rolling over the edge flange [26] when swung using single linear motor actuator [09] and related electronic controls.

摘要： An examining system includes one or more application devices onboard a vehicle system. The application devices may electrically conduct an examination signal into one or more conductive bodies extending along a route and may include a catenary, a third rail, and/or a cable. The examining system may include one or more detection units that may be disposed onboard the vehicle system and that may monitor one or more electrical characteristics of the one or more conductive bodies in response to the examination signal being conducted into the one or more conductive bodies. The examining system may include an identification unit that may examine the one or more electrical characteristics of the one or more conductive bodies monitored by the one or more detection units to identify a compromised or damaged section of the one or more conductive bodies.

摘要： A system includes a route examining system and an off-board failsafe controller. The route examining system is configured to examine a route on which a first vehicle system is moving and to generate an inspection signal based on the route examination. The inspection signal indicates a status of a segment of the route as damaged or undamaged. The off-board failsafe controller is configured to receive the inspection signal from the route examining system. Responsive to a lack of receipt of the inspection signal within a designated time period which indicates communication loss with the route examining system, the failsafe controller is configured to generate a warning signal for communication to a second vehicle system. The warning signal is generated to direct the second vehicle system to (i) avoid traveling over the route segment or (ii) travel over the route segment or another route segment at a reduced speed.

摘要： A monitoring method and system monitor a transmitted current that is injected into conductive components of a route traveled by vehicle systems, monitor a received current that represents a portion of the transmitted current that is conducted through the conductive components of the route, examine changes in the transmitted and/or received current over time to determine when the vehicle systems are on the route between a first location where the transmitted current is injected into the conductive components and a second location where the received current is monitored, and examine the changes in the transmitted and/or received currents. The changes are examined to identify (a) a contaminated portion of a surface on which the route is disposed, (b) a foreign object other than the vehicle systems that is contacting the route, and/or (c) a damaged or broken portion of at least one of the conductive components of the route.

摘要： A system includes first and second application devices, a control unit, and at least one processor. The first and second application devices are configured to be at least one of conductively or inductively coupled with one of the conductive tracks. The control unit is configured to control the first and second application devices in order to electrically inject a first examination signal into the conductive tracks via the first application device and a second examination signal into the conductive tracks via the second application device. The at least one processor is configured to monitor one or more electrical characteristics of the first and second conductive tracks in response to the first and second examination signals being injected into the conductive tracks; and to identify a type of fault based upon the one or more electrical characteristics of the first and second conductive tracks.

摘要： A plurality of sensors, each generating distinct signals in response to the passage of leading and trailing edges of car wheels, are positioned along the rail at a height above the rail to detect the passage of a selected chord on the wheel tread. The distances between initial sensors and the final unit equal the various selected chord lengths on conventional sized wheels. When one of the initial sensors detects the passage of the trailing edge of the wheel at the chord level simultaneously with the detection of the leading edge of that wheel by the last unit, the output signals are applied to a logic circuit, which registers a wheel of corresponding diameter. Additional sensors placed immediately adjacent the final sensor provide measurement of actual wheel diameters slightly less than the standard sizes due to wheel wear. When the sensors detect a gap in the tread chord, as a worn wheel passes, greater than a predetermined length for each diameter wheel, an indication is provided of a worn wheel requiring replacement. A second set of sensors positioned on the other side of the rail measures the flange height to also indicate wheel wear. All measurements are determined by logic elements and supplied to the yard control system. The diameter and tread thickness measurements are used to supply a corresponding wheel rotational inertia factor to the speed control system while tread and flange wear indications indicate cars requiring immediate wheel replacements.

摘要： A railway safety system uses intensity of current measurements in order that a train driver can have a continuous evaluation of the mutual distance between his train and the next one in front of or rear to it. Two ammeters give this indication by measuring the current intensity in the corresponding circuit encompassed on a resistive line parallel to the railroad, by the associate sliding contacts on both trains, since each train is provided with a pair of pantographs in contact with said resistive line and a generator of d.c. which thus flows in the circuit closed by two trains and comprising the half circuit in series with the concerned pantograph of each train and the intermediate length of resistive line. A reverser relay applies the voltage of the generator to either of the two half circuits of a train. Switch relays may be provided to operate acoustic signals and/or the automatic braking device at given values of the flowing current. Examples of how to calculate the resistance values of the half circuits and resistive line are given, according to the prefixed value of safety distance, the position of the pantographs and the possibility of frontal collisions in single-track railroads.

摘要： Method and apparatus for evaluating temperature indicating signals from a railway hot box detector and producing an alarm signal therefrom. The signals are differentially evaluated and are compared to appropriate reference signals to detect overheated solid or roller bearings. False alarm signals produced from the differential evaluation because of the difficulty in distinguishing the temperatures of normally operating roller bearings from those of overheated solid bearings are detected and cancelled. False alarm signals caused by noise and by time displacement between temperature indicating signals are cancelled by checking the duration of all alarm signals and passing only those that have long enough durations not to have been produced by noise or by differential evaluation of time displaced temperature indicating signals. The alarm system is advantageously connected in circuit with a chart recorder to produce a permanent record of hot boxes.
