System and method for monitoring braking effort

Abstract: A method (e.g., for monitoring a braking system of a vehicle system) includes monitoring fluid pressures of a braking system and modeled braking efforts of the braking system in a vehicle system traveling along a route, identifying one or more time periods at least one of before a brake event of the braking system or after the brake event, calculating residual forces exerted on the vehicle system during the one or more time periods, and determining at least one of an estimated braking effort of the braking system or an estimated propagation rate at which the estimated braking effort is applied by the braking system using the residual forces that are calculated.

Braking system and method

Abstract: The present invention provides a system and method for stopping equipment. The system is an automatic dynamic braking system using color recognition. The automatic braking system comprises a color recognition sensor coupled to a control system. In use, the control system is operably connected to potentially hazardous equipment. The color recognition sensor recognizes a marker worn by an operator, for example, an article of clothing of a predetermined color. When the marker enters a predetermined recognition zone relative to the equipment, the system responds to the event with shut-down procedures. The equipment may be an electric or automatic saw, with the recognition zone being defined relative to a rotating saw blade.

Method for managing a braking system for an aircraft fitted with electromechanical brakes

Abstract: The invention relates to a braking system for an aircraft fitted with electric brakes comprising a certain number of electromechanical actuators (2), the system comprising a braking computer (20) delivering a normal braking setpoint (21) sent to one or more controllers (10) of the actuators, and selection means (15) for causing the braking system to operate in a number of modes including: - a normal braking mode during which the braking computer generates a normal braking setpoint (21) sent to the controller or controllers; - an ultimate braking mode, which takes priority over the normal braking mode, and is applied in response to actuation of a parking control member and in which the actuators are operated in such a way as to apply a force in response to actuation of the parking control member, but are not locked in position; - a parking braking mode, which is applied in response to actuation of a parking control member and only if the aircraft is at a standstill, in which the actuators are controlled in order to apply a force in response to actuation of the parking control member and are then locked in position.

Locomotive line tester

Abstract: A portable device, used in the field, for checking various functions of a locomotive control system between service intervals. The device has a standard Association of American Railroads (AAR) terminal configuration which can be mated with the control cable of the locomotive under test. The locomotive controls are selectively operated and the device is equipped with LEDs which give a go/no-go indication of the proper operation of the various controls including control of the one through eight throttle positions, dynamic braking and the sander.
