Patent

CA 2622514

One embodiment of the invention comprises a system for operating a railway vehicle (8) comprising a lead powered unit (14/15) and a non-lead powered unit (16/17/18) during a trip along a track The system comprises a first element (65) for determining a location of the vehicle or a time from the beginning of a current trip, aa processor (62) operable to receive information from the first element (65) and an algorithm embodied within the processor (62) having access to the information to create a trip plan that optimizes performance of one or both of the lead unit (14/15) and the non-lead unit (16/17/18) in accordance with one or more operational criteria for one or more of the vehicle (8), the lead unit (14/15) and the non-lead unit (16/17/18).

Un mode de réalisation de l'invention concerne un système d'exploitation d'un véhicule ferroviaire (8) comprenant une unité alimentée à la tête (14-15) et une unité non alimentée à la tête (16, 17, 18) au cours d'un trajet le long d'une voie. Le système comprend un premier élément (65) qui permet de déterminer un emplacement du véhicule ou un temps depuis le début d'un trajet en cours, un processeur (62) conçu pour recevoir des informations du premier élément (65) et un algorithme intégré au processeur (62) ayant accès aux informations pour créer un plan de trajet qui optimise les performances de l'unité de tête (14/15) et/ou de l'unité qui n'est pas à la tête (16/17/18) selon au moins un critère d'exploitation du véhicule (8) et/ou de l'unité de tête (14/15) et/ou de l'unité qui n'est pas à la tête (16/17/18).
