Apparatus and method for monitoring motion of a railroad train
TL;DR: In this article, an apparatus for monitoring the motion of a railroad train includes an on-board unit which computes the speed, acceleration/deceleration, and distance traveled events of the train and stores such computed data for retention by a nonvolatile memory after a power interruption or outage occurs.
Patent
Apparatus and method for use in simulating operation and control of a railway train
TL;DR: In this paper, a control station for a railway train simulator is described, which has a first microcomputer for receiving and transmitting, via a conventional transmission protocol, train simulation signals to a second microcomputer (32).
Patent
Method and apparatus related to simulating train responses to actual train operating data
TL;DR: In this article, a system includes an interface through which actual train operating data can be transferred from a recording medium, such as a magnetic tape, into a train simulator, where the date contents of the magnetic tape are generated from real-time data obtained on-board an operating locomotive.
Patent
Data collection apparatus and train monitoring system
TL;DR: In this article, two on-board units are used to collect and utilize data for ultimate transfer to a portable unit which can be carried onto and off of the railroad train for monitoring the operation of a railroad train.
Patent
Real time recall feature for an engine data processor system
TL;DR: In this article, a real-time recall feature for an engine data processor (20) is used to check a plurality of engine operating parameters from a gas turbine engine (10) before being output on a serial transmission channel (XCH) to an airframe mounted permanent recording apparatus (30).
