Systems and Methods for Vehicle Control

摘要

A system configured to be disposed onboard a vehicle includes a communication unit and a processing unit. The communication unit is configured to obtain first trip information including first location-based operational information. The first trip information includes commands for a positive train control (PTC) system. The communication unit is also configured to obtain second trip information including second location-based operational information. The second trip information includes trip profile information for performing a mission by the vehicle. The processing unit is configured to obtain the first trip information and the second trip information from the communication unit, and to determine combined trip information using the first trip information and the second trip information. The processing unit is also configured to develop control information using the combined trip information.

1. A system comprising:
a communication unit configured to be disposed onboard a vehicle configured to traverse a route, wherein the communication unit is further configured to:
obtain first trip information, the first trip information including first location-based operational information, wherein the first trip information includes commands for a positive train control (PTC) system; andobtain second trip information, the second trip information including second location-based operational information, wherein the second trip information includes trip profile information for performing a mission by the vehicle; and a processing unit configured for operative coupling with the communication unit and to:
determine combined trip information using the first trip information and the second trip information received from the communication unit; anddevelop control information using the combined trip information.
