Abstract:
A system, method, and apparatus for certifying an end-of-train device pressure calibration is provided. The system includes an end-of-train device including a brake pipe interface adapted to be removably connected to a brake pipe system of a train and to receive air having a pressure from the brake pipe system, and a pressure sensing device configured to measure the air pressure received in the brake pipe interface to obtain a measured pressure. The system also includes a pressure calibration device adapted to be removably connected to the brake pipe interface when the end-of-train device is removed from the train, the pressure calibration device configured to output air at a regulated pressure to the brake pipe interface, and at least one controller programmed or configured to determine a calibration certification result based at least partially on a difference between the measured pressure and the regulated pressure.

A system, method, and apparatus for certifying an end-of-train device pressure calibration is provided. The system includes a pressure calibration device configured to output a regulated pressure; and an end-of-train device comprising: a brake pipe interface adapted to receive the regulated pressure from the pressure calibration device; and a pressure sensing device configured to obtain a measured pressure by measuring the regulated pressure. At least one of the pressure calibration device and the end-of-train device comprises at least one controller configured to determine a calibration certification result based at least partially on a difference between the measured pressure and the regulated pressure.
Abstract:
Systems and methods for protecting and preventing unauthorized transfer or downloading of recorded train event data for use in a train event recording system of a train. A train event recording system and an authenticated data storage device are also disclosed. According to one preferred and non-limiting embodiment, provided is a system for protecting recorded train event data, the system including at least one external memory device having encrypted authentication data stored thereon, the encrypted authentication data including authentication data encrypted with at least one first key.
