Abstract

One embodiment of the invention comprises a system for operating a railway vehicle (8) comprising a lead powered unit (14/15) and a non-lead powered unit (16/17/18) during a trip along a track The system comprises a first element (65) for determining a location of the vehicle or a time from the beginning of a current trip, a processor (62) operable to receive information from the first element (65) and an algorithm embodied within the processor (62) having access to the information to create a trip plan that optimizes performance of one or both of the lead unit (14/15) and the non-lead unit (16/17/18) in accordance with one or more operational criteria for one or more of the vehicle (8), the lead unit (14/15) and the non-lead unit (16/17/18).
