Abstract
An integrated train control system (Figs. 1 and 6) is a combination of systems including: EP-60 (Fig. 2), CCBII (Fig. 3), Wired DP (Fig. 4), and LEADER (Fig. 5). The integrated train control system (Fig. 6) includes a master controller (MMI) cooperating with features of EP-60, CCBII, LEADER, and Wired DP
to control car control devices (CCD) through ITC
network.
to control car control devices (CCD) through ITC
network.
Claims (8)
1. An integrated train control system comprising:
a wire tramline and brake pipe extending through each vehicle on the train;
electropneumatic brake controller controlling the brake pipe and providing electropneumatic brake signals;
a propulsion controller providing electrical propulsion signals;
an operator interface connected to the brake controller and the propulsion controller;
an electropneumatic brake system in cars in the train and connected to the trainline and brake pipe;
propulsion systems on locomotives in the train and connected to the trainline; and a master controller which determines conditions for each car and locomotives in the train and as a function of the determined conditions transmits over the trainline individualized brake signals to each car and locomotive and individualized propulsion signal to each locomotive.
a wire tramline and brake pipe extending through each vehicle on the train;
electropneumatic brake controller controlling the brake pipe and providing electropneumatic brake signals;
a propulsion controller providing electrical propulsion signals;
an operator interface connected to the brake controller and the propulsion controller;
an electropneumatic brake system in cars in the train and connected to the trainline and brake pipe;
propulsion systems on locomotives in the train and connected to the trainline; and a master controller which determines conditions for each car and locomotives in the train and as a function of the determined conditions transmits over the trainline individualized brake signals to each car and locomotive and individualized propulsion signal to each locomotive.
2. The system according to Claim 1, wherein the master controller determines the location of each car and locomotive on a track profile and determines the conditions of the cars and locomotives from the position on the track profile.
3. The system according to Claim 2, wherein the master controller determines anticipated conditions of each car and locomotive based on upcoming track profiles and individualizes the transmitted signals as a function of the anticipated conditions.
4. The system according to Claim 1, wherein the car brake controller and the propulsion controller each includes at least one sensor and the brake controller and the propulsion control determine the conditions from the sensor and transmits the determined conditions to the master controller.
5. The system according to Claim 4, wherein the determined conditions are one or more of hot bearings, stuck hand brakes, flat wheel and wheel off-rail.
6. The system according to Claim 4, wherein the determined conditions includes one or more of car load, braking effort, drawbar/draft gear forces and impact detection.
7. The system according to Claim 6, wherein the brake controller uses the local determined conditions for controlling the local brakes.
8. The system according to Claim 1, wherein the car and locomotive include auxiliary equipment connected to the brake controller and propulsion controller and the master controller transmits individual control signals for the auxiliary equipment.
