A method for identifying locomotive consists within train consists determines an order and orientation of the locomotives within the identified locomotive consists. An on-board tracking system is mounted to each locomotive and includes locomotive interfaces for interfacing with other systems of the particular locomotive, a computer for receiving inputs from the interface, a GPS receiver, and a satellite communicator (transceiver). As locomotives provide location and discrete information from the field, a central data processing facility receives the raw locomotive data. The data center processes the locomotive data and determines locomotive consists.
La présente invention concerne un procédé permettant d'identifier les groupes de traction au sein d'un train, selon lequel on détermine l'ordre et l'orientation des locomotives au sein des groupes de traction identifiés. On monte un système de repérage embarqué à bord de chaque locomotive, qui comprend des interfaces de locomotive destinées à assurer l'interface avec les autres systèmes d'une locomotive particulière, un ordinateur destiné à recevoir des entrés en provenance de l'interface, une carte de route numérisée et un dispositif de communication par satellite (émetteur-récepteur). Au fur et à mesure que les locomotives transmettent des informations de localisation et des informations discrètes depuis le terrain, une installation de traitement des données centrale reçoit les données brutes en provenance des locomotives, les traite et détermine les groupes de traction.
