Method and apparatus for a hybrid train control device

摘要

A method and an apparatus for an on-board train control device are provided, and are based on converting speed codes received from wayside cab-signaling devices into movement authority limits. The device determines the train location independent of the wayside train detection system, and generates and enforces stopping profiles based on said movement authority limits.

主权项

1. A train control system that interfaces with cab-signaling installation to provide positive train control, comprising:
an on-board location determination subsystem, an interface module that receives cab-signaling speed codes, an on-board module that converts cab-signaling speed codes to movement authority limits, and an on-board module that generates a stopping profile to enforce said movement authority limits.
