System, method, and apparatus for certifying a brake pressure calibration for an end-of-train device

摘要

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.

1. A method for certifying an end-of-train device pressure calibration, comprising:
applying a fixed pressure to a brake pipe interface of the end-of-train device with an automated calibration device while the end-of-train device is removed from a train; measuring the fixed pressure with the end-of-train device to determine a measured pressure; determining if the measured pressure is within a predetermined range of the fixed pressure; generating pressure calibration certification data based at least partially on whether the measured pressure is within the predetermined range of the fixed pressure; and transmitting the pressure calibration certification data to at least one remote server.
