Embodiment Construction

[0055] One or more embodiments of the inventive subject matter described in this disclosure provide for establishing communication between propulsion generating vehicles in a vehicle system comprising two or more propulsion generating vehicles coupled with each other Methods and systems for linking. For example, embodiments of the inventive subject matter may be used in conjunction with rail vehicles and groups of rail vehicles or other types of vehicles. In one aspect, a remote propulsion generating vehicle is configured to receive a wireless link command message from one or more lead propulsion generating vehicles, so long as the link command message includes a remote vehicle identifier (e.g., road number) or the identifier and name of the remote vehicle. The link command message may optionally include the orientation of the remote vehicle relative to the lead vehicle, such as facing the same direction or facing the opposite direction. The lead vehicle may send (eg, broadc...

Abstract

Systems and methods for communicatively linking vehicles in a vehicle consist are provided. In one aspect, a lead vehicle can communicate a link command message to several remote vehicles. The link command message includes vehicle identifiers and / or a consist identifier. At the remote vehicles, if a vehicle identifier or a consist identifier stored onboard a remote vehicle matches the vehicle identifiers and / or consist identifier received in the link command message, the remote vehicle is communicatively linked with the lead vehicle to permit control of the remote vehicle by the lead vehicle. In another aspect, a vehicle identifier of the lead vehicle is stored onboard the remote vehicles. If the vehicle identifier stored on the remote vehicle matches a vehicle identifier received in the link command message, the remote vehicle is communicatively linked with the lead vehicle to permit control of the remote vehicle by the lead vehicle.

Description

technical field [0001] Embodiments of the inventive subject matter described in this disclosure relate to communication between vehicles in a fleet of vehicles. Background technique [0002] Some known groups of vehicles include several powered vehicles that generate tractive force for propelling the group of vehicles along a route. For example, a train may have several locomotives coupled to each other that propel the train along the track. The locomotives may communicate with each other in order to coordinate the tractive effort and / or braking effort provided by the locomotives. As an example, locomotives may be provided according to a Distributed Power (DP) configuration in which one locomotive is designated as the lead locomotive and the other locomotives are designated as remote locomotives. The lead locomotive can direct the traction and braking force provided by the remote locomotive during the group journey. [0003] Some known groups use wireless communication be...
