摘要: Systems, devices, media, and methods are presented for controlling remote equipment in a network. A switch heater control system includes a weather modeling function. The system periodically obtains weather data according to a predetermined time interval. Based on the closest weather data set, the weather modeling function generates a hyperlocal forecast associated with each switch heater location. The system includes an active snowfall mode and a maintenance mode that controls heating based on an estimate of local snow depth, adjusted for wind conditions and passing trains. When the hyperlocal forecast indicates heating is required, the system calculates a melt duration, starts a timer, and transmits a start signal to the switch heater.

摘要: Methods and systems for monitoring and detecting various events or anomalies of interest on or along an object of interest, such as a transportation path, road, or railway, are presented. Data regarding the detected events can be collected near its source and transmitted to a data collection or processing object for analysis or storage. These events may include, but not limited to, rock falls, wheel or tire flat spots, or other acoustic or vibration generating events at or near the object of interest.

摘要: A system for navigating within a track network includes, as system components, a system central, a track maintenance machine and a communication device. The system central is set up for administering network data representing a model of the track network. The track maintenance machine is suited for treatment of track sections of the track network. The track maintenance machine includes a navigation device for processing navigation data derived from the network data. The communication device is provided for data exchange between the system central and the navigation device. The system includes at least one movable or stationary carrier platform with sensors for collecting raw data representing characteristic information of the track network. A big data framework is set up in the system central to evaluate the raw data and synchronize them with the network data. Automated updating of the network data can be carried out with the system.

摘要: An inspection system for inspecting the track of an amusement ride with at least one rail. A vehicle is provided that is designed to ride along the track. The vehicle supports cameras. The cameras are positioned in unobstructed areas. The cameras image the rail from different angles as the vehicle rides along the track. The images recorded by the cameras are reviewed to identify any defect or issue with the rail or its supporting framework that may impact from the safety of the ride.

摘要: A method for operating a rail vehicle includes transmitting an identifier for a software component and/or an identifier for a hardware component of a control system of a rail vehicle. The identifier is transmitted from a computation unit of the rail vehicle to a stationary central computation unit, at least at one predetermined point in time.

摘要: A method and system for monitoring a rail vehicle are provided. The method includes: a local device acquires current operating data and historical operating data of a rail vehicle from a controller of the rail vehicle, herein the local device, which is connected with the controller, is a portable testing device; the local device obtains fault information according to the current operating data and the historical operating data, herein the fault information includes at least one of a fault code and a fault description; the local device obtains a maintenance plan corresponding to the fault information, herein the maintenance plan is obtained through a remote device or a server side; and the local device maintains the rail vehicle according to the maintenance plan. The disclosure solves a technical problem in the traditional art that a troubleshooting process of a rail vehicle is difficult, and when the rail vehicle has a fault, the fault cannot be solved timely.

摘要: A vehicle running system based on rail transport, including a track, a framework, two levitation devices and a running device. The track is provided with a slot, in which the framework is provided. The levitation devices are provided between the track and the framework, and a top surface of the levitation device is fixedly connected to a bottom surface of the framework through a suspension structure. The running device includes two conductor plates and two running structures. The conductor plates are fixedly arranged on the inner wall of the slot, and are corresponding to the running structures. The reluctance force of magnetic wheels is converted into a driving force to drive maglev vehicles, and the levitation force is converted into a guiding force to realize the self-stabilization of vehicle guidance. A vehicle running method based on this system is also provided.
