Abstract: Navigating a transportation network by receiving an equipment identifier, querying a section of interest database to obtain at least one section of interest associated, accessing geolocation data from one or more geolocation sensors, querying a one section of interest using geolocation data to identify a next section of interest. With geolocation data, calculating at least one of a time to a next section of interest or a distance to a next section of interest, and determining that a reduction in speed is required, where a reduced speed is an amount of speed by which the speed must be reduced in order for the equipment to achieve a target speed associated with the next section of interest, and providing an alert configured to escalate to the user interface.

Abstract: A machine learning system for maintaining distributed computer control systems for a train may include a data acquisition hub communicatively connected to a plurality of sensors configured to acquire real-time configuration data from one or more of the computer control systems. The machine learning system may also include an analytics server communicatively connected to the data acquisition hub. The analytics server may include a virtual system modeling engine configured to model an actual train control system comprising the distributed computer control systems, a virtual system model database configured to store one or more virtual system models of the distributed computer control systems, wherein each of the one or more virtual system models includes preset configuration settings for the distributed computer control systems, and a machine learning engine configured to monitor the real-time configuration data and the preset configuration settings. The machine learning engine may warn when there is a difference between the real-time configuration data and the preset configuration settings, the difference being indicative of at least two of the distributed computer control systems being out of synchronization by more than a threshold deviation.

Abstract: An inspection system for inspecting the track of an amusement ride with at least one rail. A vehicle is provided that is designed to ride along the track. The vehicle supports cameras. The cameras are positioned in unobstructed areas. The cameras image the rail from different angles as the vehicle rides along the track. The images recorded by the cameras are reviewed to identify any defect or issue with the rail or its supporting framework that may impact from the safety of the ride.

Abstract: A railway safety critical application system substitutes commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) hardware and/or software for railway-domain specific product components yet is validated to conform to railway safety critical system failure-free standards. The safety critical system uses a pair of tasks executed on a controller of a COTS personal computer or within a virtual environment with asymmetric communications capability. Both tasks receive and verify safety critical systems input message data and security code integrity and separately generate output data responsive to the input message. The first task has sole capability to send complete safety critical system output messages, but only the second task has the capability of generating the output security code. A failure of any of systems hardware, software or processing capability results failure to transmit a safety critical system output message or an output message that cannot be verified by other safety critical systems.

Abstract: A railway turnout control method comprises: constructing a data space corresponding to a railway turnout area (101); adding a virtual railway turnout, in the data space, to an area in which a target turnback stopping point is located (102); adding the virtual railway turnout to a railway turnout list corresponding to a route along which a train drives into the area (103); and not releasing claim of the virtual railway turnout when the train stops at the turnback stopping point (104); Also provided is a railway turnout control system. The method and system can solve problems of deadlock of a turnback area and insufficient safety protection of crossed routes.

Abstract: When it is determined that a control-target train has an impact on a third train that is other than a train that is determined to affect the control-target train, a ground running control unit of a train-running management device further changes a running pattern and instructs the control-target train to take less time to completely leave a departure station.

Abstract: A positive train control system and method may comprise one or more switch monitors and/or one or more track monitors providing sensor data relative to one or more switches and/or one or more tracks, respectively, determining whether there is an anomaly of a switch or track, and when there is, providing a message, alert and/or warning, and/or initiating a train control action. Determination of an anomaly may be preformed on a train or at a remote location, e.g., a central facility.
