A system for alerting the crew of a rail vehicle (104, 106, 108) of the proximity of one or more other rail vehicles (104, 106, 108) is disclosed. The system includes a receiver (202) for receiving a signal from which the position of the rail vehicle (104, 106, 108) may be determined and a communication device (206) for receiving position information transmitted by other rail vehicles (104, 106, 108) operating in the area. The communication device (206) also transmits the vehicle's position to other equipped rail vehicles (104, 106, 108) operating in the area. A computer (210), operatively coupled to the receiver (202) and the communication device (206), determines the proximity and movement of other rail traffic in a selectable area based on the position of the rail vehicle determined by the receiver (202) and the position information received by the communication device (206). The computer (210) may then communicate this information to the crew via a user interface (212). |
