Abstract: Systems and methods for controlling battery electric locomotives are disclosed. The method for controlling battery electric locomotives includes receiving, via one or more processors, a first set of data associated with the battery electric locomotives of a consist in a train, wherein the first set of data includes battery system data. The method includes processing, via one or more processors, the first set of data to determine the operating conditions of the battery electric locomotives. The method includes causing, via one or more processors, an update to the in-memory representation of the battery electric locomotives in a database to set the battery electric locomotives to a run-state mode or a dynamic braking mode. The method includes generating, via one or more processors, one or more commands for operating the battery electric locomotives of the train based on the updated in-memory representation.

Abstract: In one instance, disclosed herein is a system for configuring a train having at least one hybrid locomotive, the system comprising at least one processor operative to: receive an anticipated train route; receive a provisional train configuration, the provisional train configuration including the at least one hybrid locomotive, wherein the at least one hybrid locomotive includes at least one internal combustion engine and at least one energy storage system; determine whether the provisional train configuration is capable of completely traversing the anticipated train route; and in response to determining that the provisional train configuration is capable of completely traversing the anticipated train route, prompt a graphical user interface to display a visual indication that the provisional train configuration is capable of completely traversing the anticipated train route.
