Abstract: A signal aspect enforcement method for a rail vehicle includes determining if vehicle position is unknown. The system determines if rail vehicle speed is less than a line-of-sight threshold speed. The system determines the grade of the rail. A worst-case braking distance of rail vehicle is calculated. The signal aspect is determined using a camera system and a beacon system. The system determines if the signal aspect determined by camera system is same as signal aspect determined by beacon system and, if so, determines the route of rail vehicle and speed limit of rail vehicle.

Abstract: A system for determining a stationary state of a rail vehicle on a track includes a first radar mounted at an end of the rail vehicle and a second radar mounted at another end of the rail vehicle. A speed sensor is mounted on the rail vehicle. A series of fixed reflective track features are found along the track. A processing unit, communicably connected with the speed sensor, the first radar and the second radar receives data from the first radar and the second radar corresponding to the distance to the fixed reflective track features and determines the stationary state or low-speed condition of the rail vehicle and checks the state or condition by comparing it with an output of the speed sensor.

Abstract: A method includes detecting an initialization position of a processing zone within a graphical user interface, the processing zone having boundaries and a predefined direction extending away from the initialization position, the graphical user interface comprising displayed point cloud data, the displayed point cloud data being based on a scanning of a three dimensional space. The method also includes applying a Kalman filter to the track points to identify a trajectory of a guideway and generating a model of the guideway based on the track points and the trajectory. The method further includes detecting one or more of a turnout region or an object associated with the guideway. The method additionally includes generating a map comprising the model of the guideway and one or more of the turnout region or the object, and at least one label identifying the turnout region or the object included in the map.

Abstract: A system comprises a set of sensors on a first end of a vehicle having the first end and a second end, and a controller. The sensors are configured to generate corresponding sensor data based on a detected marker along a direction of movement of the vehicle. A first sensor has a first inclination angle with respect to the detected marker, and a second sensor has a second inclination angle with respect to the detected marker. The controller is configured to compare a time at which the first sensor detected the marker with a time at which the second sensor detected the marker to identify the first end or the second end as a leading end of the vehicle, and to calculate a position of the leading end of the vehicle based on the sensor data generated by one or more of the first sensor or the second sensor.

Abstract: A data analysis system for analyzing data from multiple devices has a database service module including a data storage subsystem storing data from collected from different devices. The data is stored in a meta-structure using primitives to classify the data. An analysis engine analyzes the data to determine whether the data defined by the meta-structure meets certain criteria in accordance with a stored set of rules. The system is useful, for example, in the detection of faults in railway infrastructure.

Abstract: A system, method, and safety unit provide safety assurance for a multiple redundant system controlling a plant or complex. A unit active line (UAL) status indicates the presence of at least one redundant active unit within the system. A safety verification line (SVL) status verifies the powered down status of all redundant units not active within the system. A safety unit is associated with a vital supervision card (VSC) and vital power bus and the safety unit controls switchable connections from the vital power bus to the UAL and the SVL. Based on verification of UAL and SVL status, system control includes energizing the UAL.
