Locomotive speed determination

摘要

A method and system for determining a ground speed for locomotives (e.g., 12, 14 ) of a train ( 16 ) comprising at least two locomotives for use in controlling an operation of the train. The method includes selecting an axle of any one locomotive of the train for measuring a speed corresponding to the selected axle. The method also includes determining a ground speed for at least another locomotive of the train based on a measured speed corresponding to the selected axle of the one locomotive.
