SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR REGULATING OF VEHICLE PERTAINING TO A VEHICLE TRAIN

摘要

A system for regulation of vehicles in a vehicle train which are adapted to communicating via wireless communication. The system comprises a processor unit adapted to receiving wirelessly from vehicles in the train data which comprise vehicle parameters for the vehicles and identification data which indicate the vehicle or vehicles from which said parameters come, to estimating one or more states for at least one vehicle ki+1 in the train on the basis of at least a model of the vehicle and said parameters received, to calculating for said estimated states one or more check values which indicate how reliable the estimation of the state or states is, depending on the transmission of the wireless data signals, to determining a distance d between a vehicle ki behind and vehicle ki+1 in the train on the basis of said check value or values and generating a control signal which indicates said distance d, and to sending said control signal to a control unit of vehicle ki, which vehicle is then regulated so that the distance di i+1 between the two vehicles and ki+1 substantially becomes d.
