摘要： Methods and systems are provided for controlling movement of a train including a plurality of locomotives along a route. In one example, the method comprises, generating a first plan profile, the first plan profile including synchronous settings for the locomotives over a route, and generating a second plan profile based on the first plan profile, the second plan profile including independent settings for the locomotives over at least one region within the route. The method may further comprise, operating the locomotives based in the first and/or second plan profiles. In another example, the method comprises, generating a plan profile with fully independent settings for the locomotives over the entire route, the fully independent settings based on cost function coefficients of each locomotive.

摘要： A method for powering a powered system having a first power generating unit where power settings for the first power generating unit are decoupled from power settings for a second power generating unit, the method including developing a power operating plan which is independent of a coupled power setting, and determining a power setting responsive to the power operating plan. A computer software code operable within a processor and configured to reside on a computer readable media for powering a powered system having at least a first power generating unit where power settings for the at least first power generating unit are decoupled from power settings for at least a second power generating unit is further disclosed.

摘要： A tactile prompting system includes a control module that forms an instruction to prompt an operator of a powered rail vehicle to take an action in response thereof, an input device of the powered rail vehicle that is configured to be actuated by the operator, and a haptic feedback device communicatively coupled with the control module and coupled with the input device. The haptic feedback device receives the instruction from the control module and provides a haptic signal to the operator based on the instruction. The haptic signal is tactually perceived by the operator.
