Systems and Methods for Providing Constant Warning Time At Crossings |
| 摘要 |
A system includes a determination module and a communication module. The determination module is configured to be located onboard a first vehicle configured to travel along a first route including a crossing corresponding to an intersection of the first route with a second route. The determination module is configured to be communicatively coupled with a remote crossing module. The determination module is configured to determine, based on a speed of the first vehicle, timing information corresponding to a time at which the first vehicle will travel proximate to the crossing on the first route. The communication module is configured to transmit the timing information to the remote crossing module. The timing information includes a reference time configured as an absolute time corresponding to a time for impeding travel of a second vehicle along the second route through the crossing. |

1. A system comprising:
a determination module configured to be located onboard a first vehicle configured to travel along a first route, the first route including a crossing corresponding to an intersection of the first route with a second route, the determination module configured to be communicatively coupled with a remote crossing module configured to impede travel of a second vehicle along the second route through the crossing when the first vehicle is proximate to the crossing on the first route, wherein the determination module is configured to determine, based on a speed and location of the first vehicle, timing information corresponding to a time at which the first vehicle will travel proximate to the crossing; and a communication module configured to communicatively couple the determination module to the remote crossing module, the communication module configured to transmit the timing information to the remote crossing module, wherein the timing information includes a reference time corresponding to a time for impeding travel of the second vehicle along the second route through the crossing, the reference time being an absolute time. |
