  • REMOTE RAIL MONITORING SYSTEM AND/OR METHOD
    Publication number: 20250214635
    Abstract: The system can include: a vehicle and a remote operator platform. The system can optionally include or be used with a motion planner and a set of remote data systems. However, the system can additionally or alternatively include any other suitable set of components. The system can function to facilitate remote monitoring of a vehicle system(s), such as an unmanned rail vehicle, and/or positive train control (PTC) when operating under speed-restriction rules. Additionally, the system can function to facilitate remote monitoring, tele-operation, and/or exception handling across multiple vehicles/trains by a single operator. Additionally, the system can function to adjust command of a remotely monitored vehicle based on the observability of the environment and/or response capability of a remote monitor/tele-operator (e.g., based on line-of-sight, video latency, etc.).
    Type: Application
