A method and apparatus for determining the position of one or more locomotives (102, 104) in a train consist. The receiver (108) receives a signal such as a reference signal from a global system determines a coordinate position for that locomotive. A processor (112) determines a relative position for the locomotive in the train consist based on its determined coordinate position. This process is periodically repeated for each locomotive in the train consist so that the configuration of locomotives in the train consist may be tracked or verified as cars (106) are added or removed from the train.

L'invention concerne un procédé et un appareil pour déterminer la position d'une ou de plusieurs locomotives (102, 104) dans une composition. Le récepteur (108) reçoit un signal tel qu'un signal de référence provenant d'un système mondial de localisation et détermine une position de coordonnées de la locomotive en question. Un processeur (112) détermine la position relative de la locomotive dans la rame sur la base de sa position de coordonnées déterminée. Ce processus est répété de manière périodique pour chaque locomotive faisant partie de la rame de manière à ce que la position des locomotives dans la rame puisse être surveillée ou vérifiée à mesure que des voitures (106) sont ajoutées à cette rame.
