    摘要: A stopping-time calculation module for a vehicle contains a communication device, which enables communication with one or more other vehicles in order to transmit the vehicle's own travel-related data and/or to receive travel-related data of another vehicle or vehicles. An evaluation device is connected to the communication device and is suitable for calculating an extended stopping time that exceeds the stopping time specified by the schedule in the event of a delay for the current stop or a following stop, in particular the next stop, indicated by the travel-related data of a vehicle driving ahead or behind on a common route equipped with stops, and for producing a control signal that indicates the calculated stopping time.

    摘要: A method of automatically forming a wireless local area network (WLAN) within a group of rail cars in a train, where each rail car in the group has an access point/router. The method comprises the steps of discovering nodes associated with each rail car for inclusion in the WLAN by discovering authorized access point/routers; grouping the discovered nodes into an inter-car bridge group; connecting all nodes in the inter-car bridge group to form the WLAN; and connecting the WLAN to a wide area network (WAN) to share connectivity to the WAN with each of the nodes in the inter-car bridge group.

    摘要: This application describes method and apparatus for detecting train separation, where one or more railway cars/carriages (401) accidentally decouple from the rest of the train. The method involves performing distributed acoustic sensing on at least one optical fibre (104a, 104b) to provide a plurality of longitudinal acoustic sensor portions along the railway (201). The acoustic response is analysed to detect a signature indicative of a train separation. This may involve detecting acoustic events (302, 303) associated with different parts of the train and detecting when the separation between the two events exceeds a threshold amount. The method may identify the front of the train and the rear of the train and detect when the distance between the front and rear changes by more than a threshold amount and/or sounds associated with wheelsets passing track features (402) may be used to determine the intervals (T3, T4) between wheelsets of adjacent cars and determine when the interval exceeds a threshold amount. The threshold may be based on the interval (T2) between wheelsets of the same car passing the track feature.

    摘要: A passively-actuated visual warning reflector device for providing a "flashing", oscillating, or fluctuating visual signal, the invention is readily adapted to be mounted to a moving vehicle, particularly the side of a train car, to warn of the presence of the vehicle at route intersections and crossings. The present reflector device is comprised of a reflective or luminous substrate member attached to a surface of either a vehicle or a stationary structure, an apertured disk member being mounted in superimposed relation to the reflective member for swinging movement relative thereto, thereby partially obscuring varying portions of the reflective member on movement of the disk member to provide the effect of an "on-off" light signal. The disk member is provided with circumferential flanges which catch air currents and cause the disk member to swing relative to the reflective member.
