An automatic identification system having a storage device mounted on the car, which includes the car identification data. A reading device is connected to a local communication node which communicates with the locomotive in a network. The local communication node communicates the read identification data to the controller at the locomotive. The identification data includes at least the serial number, brake ratio, light weight and gross rail weight of the car. The storage device is permanently mounted on the car, preferably at a junction box or pipe bracket. A current sensor is also connected to the local communication node. The storage device and current sensor are part of a subsidiary communication node under the control of the communication node.

L'invention est un système d'identification automatique comportant un dispositif de stockage monté sur un wagon de chemin de fer qui contient les données d'identification de ce wagon. Un dispositif de lecture est connecté à un noeud de communication local qui communique avec la locomotive via un réseau. Le noeud de communication local transmet les données d'identification lues au contrôleur qui se trouve dans la locomotive. Ces données d'identification sont constituées au moins du numéro de série, du rapport de freinage, du poids à vide et de la charge brute du wagon. Le dispositif de stockage est monté en permanence sur le wagon, de préférence à une boîte de jonction ou sur un bloc de couplage de tuyauterie. Un capteur de courant est également connecté au noeud de communication local. Le dispositif de stockage et le détecteur de courant font partie d'un noeud de communication auxiliaire qui est sous le contrôle du noeud de communication.
