Abstract: A system may include a controller with one or more processors. The controller may determine the wheel size of a wheel of a vehicle during a trip. The one or more processors may communicate a message associated with the wheel size to an off-board device when the wheel size is below a threshold size.

Abstract: In an example, the autonomous vehicle (“AV”) can be configured among the other vehicles and railway to communicate with a rider on a peer to peer basis to pick up the rider on demand from a location on a track, like a railway, tram or other track, rather than the rider being held hostage to a fixed, railway schedule. The rider can have an application on his/her cell phone, which tracks each of the AVs. and contact them using the application on the cell phone. In an example, the AV is configured for both on-track and off track operation with different operating parameters for on-track and off track, including speed, degree of autonomy, sensors used etc.

Abstract: A method is provided that can include activating at least two wireless communication channels in parallel, between a first wireless transceiver and a second wireless transceiver. Each of the at least two wireless communication channels can operate at a different radio carrier frequency, and the first wireless transceiver may be part of a first vehicle. The method can also include transmitting, by the first wireless transceiver, common information in parallel on the at least two wireless communication channels to the second wireless transceiver and deactivating the at least two wireless communication channels.

Abstract: Method to improve the capability of electric transport, particularly autonomous electric transport, by dynamically reconfiguring a group of vehicles, connecting or disconnecting railcars to manage total energy available while motion continues. Vehicles connected while in motion can transfer energy to or from the train with railcars equipped with traction motors that can deliver energy to a train without delaying other cars. Railcars with low state of charge can be recharged by other railcars in the train or can disengage to be re-routed and re-charged en-route.

Abstract: A controller outputs, to a transport vehicle, a forward movement command for moving in the forward direction along a transport path toward a destination, and a reverse movement command for moving in a reverse direction along the transport path toward the destination. When a target task occurs, the controller determines a transport vehicle to execute the target task among a plurality of transport vehicles, while also including, as a candidate, a transport vehicle located on a downstream side of the transport path relative to the destination at a timing when the target task occurs.

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: An obstacle detection device installed in a train includes: a sensor that monitors surroundings of the train and generates a range image that is a result of monitoring; a storage unit that stores map information including position information of structures installed along a railroad track on which the train travels; a correction unit that corrects, using the range image acquired from the sensor and the map information stored in the storage unit, first train position information that is information acquired from a train control device and indicates a position of the train, and outputs second train position information that is a result of correction; and a monitoring condition determination unit that determines a monitoring range of the sensor using the second train position information and the map information.
