Method & apparatus for a train control system - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240017753 titled 'Method & apparatus for a train control system
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a patent application for a train control system that utilizes virtualization and cloud computing resources. The system is divided into two parts: physical elements of the train control system and a virtual train control system that provides computing resources for train control application platforms. The architecture can be used with various train control technologies, including communications-based train control, cab-signaling, fixed block, and wayside signal technology. The patent also describes methodologies to convert cab-signaling and manual operations into distance to go operation.
