摘要： A control system identifies vehicle systems for combining into a larger convoy. Each the vehicle systems is formed from at least one propulsion-generating vehicle and at least one non-propulsion-generating vehicle. The control system directs the identified vehicle systems to couple with each other for travel as the convoy from a first location toward a different, second location. The control system directs a first vehicle system in the convoy to separate from the convoy and/or a second vehicle system to join the convoy by coupling with at least one of the vehicle systems in the convoy in an intermediate location between the first and second locations. The vehicles in each of the vehicle systems in the convoy remain connected during separation of the first vehicle system from the convoy and/or during joining of the second vehicle system to the convoy.

摘要： Train position is sensed using a position sensing unit having plurality of position sensors arrayed in the direction of train travel. The sensors respond to the presence and absence of a detection element on each train car, the detection element being longer than the spacing between adjacent position sensors. A confirmed count of a train car passing the position sensing unit requires detection of a series of related position sensor activations and deactivations. Alternately, the position sensing unit senses data tags on the train cars, reading unique identifiers therefrom. A list of identifiers corresponding to the car order is stored and compared to the identifiers read in order to determine train position.

摘要： A method and apparatus for determining a model vehicle layout by moving a vehicle around the track and noting when the vehicle passes track position detection elements. The vehicle can either detect the position detection elements, or the position detection elements can be sensors which detect the vehicle. By noting the order of the position detection elements as detected, and the direction of the vehicle, the layout of the track can be determined. In one embodiment, the position detection elements are sensors along the track which detect an emitted ID from the vehicle, and also detect the speed and direction of the vehicle. This information is then relayed to a control system. In another embodiment, the vehicle detects the position detection element, and relays this information, along with the train ID, speed and direction, to the control system. In another aspect of the invention, a particular type of vehicle at a particular location can be identified, and can be used to selectively operate accessories adjacent that portion of the track. The invention also can provide automated route generation, the route between A and B meeting input route parameters (e.g., backing into destination) can be automatically determined. Also, default accessory and switch selection can be automatically provided to a hand-held controller based on what the vehicle is approaching.

摘要： A voltage variation detector is connected to a receiver which is associated with a transmitter inducing an alternating signal permanently in the rails of a railroad track and, accordingly, in a conductive loop positioned between the rails. The respective variations of the voltage induced in the loop and of a feeding voltage to the loop furnish redundant information of the presence of a car in the transmission zone.

摘要： A receiver for sensing track currents includes a toroid coupled to the track rails via a single conductor. The toroid has an air gap in which a linear Hall sensor is inserted. The voltage of the Hall sensor is applied to signal processing circuitry including a low pass filter, amplifier and level detectors. In one embodiment of the invention comprising a track occupancy detector, second and third windings coupled to the toroid are selectively energized from a potential source to provide MMF's in the toroid of one and another polarity, and of a level less than the MMF provided by an occupied track section. The amplifier includes first and second channels for amplifying signals of opposite polarities. Each channel of the amplifier is coupled to a pair of level detectors, one of the level detectors in each pair is a vital level detector with the threshold set at about 50% of the threshold of the other level detector in the pair. A lack of occupancy is indicated when, during normal operation, level detectors trip in pairs. Lack of failures is checked by opening the conductor to the track rails and sequentially energizing the second and third conductors, and noting that one level detector in each pair trips in response to energization of the second or third conductors, respectively. Another embodiment of the invention is used as an approach detector by comparing current level in the rails with a fixed threshold, as current increases above the threshold an approach indication is given.

摘要： A low power radar mounted on the train interrogates passive transponders located along the track. Inductive coupling arrangements associated with the radar and each of the transponders inhibits responses from transponders other than the one immediately underneath the radar, and also for indicating failure of transponders.
