Abstract: Systems and methods for examining a route inject one or more electrical examination signals into a conductive route from onboard a vehicle system traveling along the route, detect one or more electrical characteristics of the route based on the one or more electrical examination signals, apply a filter to the one or more electrical characteristics, and detect a break in conductivity of the route responsive to the one or more electrical characteristics decreasing by more than a designated drop threshold for a time period within a designated drop time period. Feature vectors may be determined for the electrical characteristics and compared to one or more patterns in order to distinguish between breaks in the conductivity of the route and other causes for changes in the electrical characteristics.

Abstract: A method for determining a concentration of at least one individual gas present in a gas-mixture includes irradiating a first component by incident modulated-light-beams characterized by a determined absorption wavelength range, modulation frequencies and a modulation amplitudes to generate first transmitted-light-beams, irradiating a second component, comprising a determined concentration of the at least one individual gas, by the first incident modulated-light-beams to generate second transmitted-light-beams, generating noise signals representative of a characteristic of the first transmitted-light-beams, generating noise-free signals representative of a characteristic of the second transmitted-light-beams, selecting an optimal modulation frequency and an optimal modulation amplitude from the modulation frequencies and the modulation amplitudes based on the noise signals and the noise-free signals, and determining a concentration of the at least one individual gas in the gas-mixture based on the optimal modulation frequency and the optimal modulation amplitude of the determined absorption wavelength range.

Abstract: A gas analysis system and method filter different wavelengths of incident light using a variable light filter at different locations along a length of the variable light filter to form filtered light. The variable light filter is configured to be disposed between a light source generating plural different wavelengths of the incident light and a gas sample. Intensities of wavelengths of the filtered light are determined after the incident light generated by the light source passes through the variable light filter and the gas sample. The gas sample may be identified from among different potential gasses based on the intensity of the one or more wavelengths of the filtered light that is determined by the light detector.
