SYSTEM AND METHOD PERTAINING TO VEHICLE TRAINS

摘要

The invention relates to a system in the context of a vehicle train which comprises at least two vehicles adapted to communicating via wireless communication. The system comprises a processor unit adapted to receiving wirelessly from at least the more forward of the two vehicles data which comprise at least one vehicle parameter for the vehicle. The processor unit is further adapted to receiving data from a detector unit on board the rear vehicle, which detector unit is adapted to measuring a relative vehicle parameter between the forward vehicle and the rear vehicle. The processor unit is then adapted to estimating a vehicle state for the forward vehicle on the basis of at least a model of the vehicle and said vehicle parameters, and to generating a state signal which indicates said estimated vehicle state. The invention comprises also a method in the context of vehicle trains.
