Light rail vehicle monitoring and stop bar overrun system

摘要

A satellite positioning location based control and monitoring system for light rail transit systems which enables transit personnel to track vehicle positions, progress and non-vital signals as light rail vehicles travel through their routes while eliminating the capital and maintenance costs associated with embedded light rail transit monitoring systems.

1. A system for monitoring a vehicle within a traffic grid, the system comprising:
a pre-defined detection zone located in a traffic grid after a stop bar at an intersection; a vehicle computer unit (VCU) installed in a vehicle having a published schedule; a central control system remote from said pre-defined detection zone and said vehicle; and a priority detector installed at said pre-defined detection zone; wherein if said vehicle is detected by said priority detector within said pre-defined detection zone after said stop bar at an intersection when said stop bar is engaged, said system will determine that a violation has occurred and send an alert to said central control system; and wherein the central control system will record a log of the violation.
