  • SYSTEM FOR PROVIDING TEMPORARY SPEED RESTRICTIONS TO LOCOMOTIVES
    Publication number: 20170331939
    Abstract: A system for automatically updating route information to a locomotive that includes a route computer and voice radio encoder that merges data representing temporary changes in a route with a voice radio call placed by a dispatcher to a locomotive engineer. A voice radio decoder coupled to the locomotive cab voice radio extracts the data representing the temporary changes from the voice radio signal and provides the data directed to the energy management system so that there is no need for the engineer to manually enter the temporary data.
