A method for controlling a remote controlled locomotive that is part of a train to insure effective braking, the method including calculating an estimated total energy of a train, calculating a threshold representing a predetermined braking capability limit of the locomotive, determining whether the estimated total energy is at least one of approaching and exceeding the threshold, and decreasing a velocity of the train until the threshold is at least one of no longer being approached and is no longer exceeded.

A system to determine a location of rolling stock, the system including a transmitting device proximate a surface on which a rolling stock rides upon, a signal comprising at least one of location data and unique identification data of the transmitting device that is emitted from the transmitting device only when the rolling stock is proximate the transmitting device, and a receiving device that receives the signal.

Methods and systems for a vital bus system for communicating data in a control system are provided. The system includes a plurality of data communication buses configured in a multiple redundant orientation and at least one safety supervisor module including a database including a plurality of logic rules. The logic rules are programmed to receive data from the plurality of data communication buses and to determine the validity of the received data from each bus using one or more of the plurality of the logic rules. If the received data is invalid, the logic rules are programmed to restore the validity of the data using one or more of the plurality of the logic rules. If the data can not be restored the logic rules are programmed to transmit an alert to the control system. Otherwise, the logic rules are programmed to transmit the validated data to an intended destination.

One example includes a system control architecture that includes local control systems to provide respective condition signals associated with situational awareness conditions of an associated system architecture. A central system controller receives the condition signals, generates a control scheme for control of operational aspects of the associated system architecture based on the condition signals, and generates control signals based on the control scheme. The control scheme defines contributions of each of the local control systems to a control authority of each of the operational aspects. Operational components provide mechanical control of each of the operational aspects of the associated system architecture in response to the respective control signals to implement the control scheme. A control authority interface system provides an indication to a user of the respective contributions of the control authority of each of the respective local control systems to the operational aspects of the associated system architecture.
