    Abstract: A system is provided that includes a detection circuit having a first and second sensor. The first sensor is configured to measure a rotational speed of a first wheel. The second sensor is coupled to a vehicle chassis and configured to measure a position over time of the vehicle chassis. The system further includes a controller circuit configured to determine a shock frequency based on the position of the vehicle chassis. The controller circuit is further configured to determine a condition (e.g., an anomalous condition) of the first wheel based on the shock frequency and the rotational speed, and may be further configured for vehicle control based on the determined condition.

    Abstract: An air brake monitoring system includes an air brake control module and an air brake monitoring module. The air brake control module is configured to control variation of an amount of pressure in a brake pipe of the vehicle to actuate brakes of a braking system of the vehicle. The air brake monitoring module is configured to obtain a reference replenishment volume corresponding to a volume of air used to recharge the braking system after application of the brakes of the braking system when the braking system when a first amount of brakes are operational, to obtain an actual replenishment volume corresponding to an actual volume of air used to recharge the braking system of the vehicle after a braking activity performed by the vehicle, and to generate a signal based on a comparison of the actual replenishment volume to the reference replenishment volume.

    Abstract: A communication system includes a first wireless communication device disposed onboard a vehicle system having two or more propulsion-generating vehicles that are mechanically interconnected with each other. The communication system also includes a controller configured to be disposed onboard the vehicle system and operatively connected with the first wireless communication device in order to control operations of the device. The controller is configured to direct the first wireless communication device to switch between operating in an off-board communication mode and an onboard communication mode. When the first wireless communication device is operating in the off-board communication mode, the device is configured to receive remote data signals from a location that is disposed off-board of the vehicle system. When the first wireless communication device is operating in the onboard communication mode, the device is configured to communicate local data signals between the propulsion-generating vehicles of the vehicle system.
