SYSTEM, METHOD, AND COMPUTER READABLE MEDIA FOR ODOMETER CALIBRATION

摘要

A system, computer readable media, and method for calibrating an odometer system of the type which measures distance traversed by a railway vehicle based on a number of wheel rotations. In an exemplary embodiment, a control unit is coupled to receive vehicle position information from a vehicle position device and one or more signals corresponding to a number of wheel rotations. The control unit is programmable to determine distance traveled by the vehicle based on position information acquired at different times. The distance information is used to provide a measure of distance traveled by the wheel during rotation.
