    Abstract: A system includes one or more processors configured to communicatively link a remote-control system disposed off-board a vehicle system with an onboard vehicle control system on the vehicle system. The remote-control system and the onboard vehicle control system are configured to control movement of the vehicle system, wherein the one or more processors are configured to transfer control of the movement of the vehicle system from the remote-control system to the onboard vehicle control system based on one or more of a location, a condition of the vehicle system, or by one or more of a request or condition of an operator or from the onboard vehicle control system to the remote-control system based on the one or more of the location, the condition of the vehicle system, or by the one or more of the request or condition of the operator.

    Abstract: An apparatus includes a first element for identifying planned applications of tractive effort and braking effort for a railway vehicle while traversing a track segment. The apparatus includes a second element for determining a slack condition of the railway vehicle at one or more locations on the track segment in advance of the railway vehicle traversing the track segment based on the planned applications of tractive effort and braking effort. The apparatus includes a third element for redetermining the slack condition at the one or more locations based on at least one deviation from the planned applications of tractive effort and braking effort.

    Abstract: A control system having one or more controllers configured to determine physical or psychophysiological (3P) changes of an operator of a vehicle. First and second imaging devices take real-time images of an operator of a vehicle. Then, based on the physical, physiological and/or psychological features extracted from the imaging device data, and a 3P model from historical data the one or more processors also configured to, responsive to the physical, physiological and/or psychological changes of the operator of the vehicle, alert the operator and control the operation of the vehicle.

    Abstract: A control system includes an energy management system and an isolation control system. The energy management system generates a trip plan that designates operational settings of a vehicle system having powered units that generate tractive effort to propel the vehicle system. The energy management system determines a tractive effort capability of the vehicle system and a demanded tractive effort of a trip. The energy management system identifies a tractive effort difference between the tractive effort capability of the vehicle system and the demanded tractive effort of the trip and selects at least one of the powered units based on the tractive effort difference. The isolation module remotely turns the selected powered unit to an OFF mode such that the vehicle system is propelled along the route during the trip by the powered units other than the selected powered unit.
