Abstract: An energy recovery system for an engine system is disclosed. The engine system includes an engine, an exhaust conduit configured to receive exhaust gases discharged from the engine, and a first turbocharger coupled to the exhaust conduit to receive exhaust gases from the engine and provides compressed air to the engine. The energy recovery system includes a bypass conduit, a second turbocharger, and an accumulator. The bypass conduit is coupled to the exhaust conduit upstream of the first turbocharger, and facilitates a portion of exhaust gases from the exhaust conduit to bypass the first turbocharger. The second turbocharger is coupled to the bypass conduit, and is driven by the portion of exhaust gases bypassing the first turbocharger to compress air received from an ambient to a first pressure. The accumulator is in fluid communication with the second turbocharger, and stores air received from the second turbocharger at the first pressure.

Abstract: A system for tracking train assets is disclosed. The tracking system may include an image capture device configured to collect an image data set of a train asset and an area surrounding the train asset. Furthermore, the image data set may be associated with a time stamp and in one non-limiting example, the time stamp provides a collection time of the image data set. In some embodiments, a controller may be configured to receive the image data set and to perform an analysis of the image data set and the analysis provides a track location of the train asset and an identification of the train asset.

Abstract: A mechanism to communicate in a secure manner between locomotives of a train consist is disclosed. Controllers on locomotives generate data packets and encode them according to one of a plurality of modulation schemes and transmit the encoded data packets according to one of a plurality of frequencies. The frequencies and/or modulation schemes used to transmit data are changed periodically by the transmitting controller in a sequence. The receiving controller is aware of the current frequency and/or modulation scheme being used and can, therefore, decode the transmitted data. Since the transmission frequency and/or modulation scheme is not known by a malicious actor, the data communications between the controllers is secure. The sequence of frequencies and/or modulation schemes may be communicated between the two controllers during a handshaking procedure to set up communications. Clocks of the communicating controllers may be synchronized to enable the frequency and/or modulation hopping scheme.
