Problems solved by technology

[0011] In some cases, some vehicle location determination systems may not be able to determine the location of vehicle systems
For example, during initialization of the location determination system, the vehicle system may not be able to determine the location of the vehicle system
The location determination system may not be able to determine the location of the vehicle system during its travel in certain locations (e.g. tunnels, canyons, urban areas, etc.)

Embodiment Construction

[0091] Embodiments of the inventive subject matter described herein relate to systems for examining routes traveled by vehicle systems in order to identify potential segments of damaged or disrupted routes. In an embodiment, the vehicle system may inject electrical signals into the route from a first vehicle in the vehicle system while the vehicle system is traveling along the route and monitor the electrical signal at another second vehicle (which is also in the vehicle system) route to check the route. Detection of the signal at the second vehicle and / or detection of a change in the signal at the second vehicle may indicate a potentially damaged (eg, damaged or partially damaged) segment of the route between the first and second vehicles. In an embodiment, the route may be a route of a rail vehicle system and the first and second vehicles may be used to identify damaged or partially damaged segments of one or more tracks of the route. The electrical signals injected into th...

Abstract

A system for inspecting a route injects one or more electrical inspection signals into the conductive route onboard from a vehicle system traveling along the route, detects one or more electrical characteristics of the route based on the one or more electrical inspection signals, and A breach in the conductivity of the route is detected in response to one or more electrical characteristics decreasing beyond a specified drop threshold for a time period within the specified drop time period. An eigenvector may be determined for the electrical property and compared to one or more modes to distinguish between disruptions in the conductivity of the route and other causes of changes in the electrical property.
