摘要: An impact detection tower is disclosed that can facilitate a reliable method of avalanche detection, related to the maintenance and monitoring a railway system. The avalanche detection system can include a plurality of impact detection towers comprising sensors in operable communication with a gateway configured to utilize data transmitted from the sensors to determine if an avalanche has occurred. The gateway can be in operable connection with a human-machine interface to facilitate monitoring of the system by a railroad engineer.

摘要: A Railroad Tie Management System is disclosed that can provide an efficient and
organized method of inspecting and auditing ties in a rail system. Tie mark files can be retrieved
by a client from a server or database in operable communication with the client, and upon
instantiation of an inspection process governed by the system, an inspection information table and
tie grid can be generated. The tie grid can operable to receive commands from a user, and the
inspection information table is operable to automatically increment and decrement fields contained
within in response to changes within the tie grid. The tie grid can also be configured to incorporate
data from tie scans and serve the data to the client in a useful and user-friendly manner.-

摘要: A railroad track control system for maintaining a braking distance onboard a locomotive comprising a plurality of control systems each disposed at a corresponding end of a corresponding physical track block, each control system operable to partition a physical track block into a plurality of virtual track blocks, the physical track block defined by first and second insulated joints disposed at corresponding first and second ends of a length of railroad track; detect a position of an electrical circuit discontinuity in one of the plurality of virtual track blocks, wherein the electrical circuit discontinuity is an open circuit indicating a broken rail within the one of the virtual track blocks; and in response to detecting a presence of the broken rail in one of the plurality of virtual track blocks, generate a corresponding virtual track block position code; and generating an alert to an operator indicating the broken rail within the one of the virtual track blocks.
