Abstract: A control system and method of performing an inspection event on a vehicle includes identifying a type of energy used to power one or more components of the vehicle; and from plural different test preset settings, selecting at least one selected setting based at least in part on the type of energy that is identified. One or more control settings of the vehicle are changed based on the at least one selected setting to energize at least one component of a propulsion system of the vehicle at a first level of energization. One or more first characteristics of one or more systems of the vehicle are obtained responsive to the energizing of the at least one component at the first level of energization. A condition or operating readiness level of the vehicle is determined based at least in part on the one or more first characteristics.

Abstract: Dynamic health assessment systems and methods related to monitoring fuel flow control are provided. In one embodiment, a method for controlling a system having an engine is provided. The method includes during a no-load condition of the engine, stopping fuel injection by a plurality of fuel injectors of the engine, closing a valve that is operable to control fuel flow to a fuel pump that pumps fuel to a common fuel rail, and setting a degradation condition in response to a fuel rail pressure decay rate of a fuel pressure in the common fuel rail being greater than a decay threshold after a first designated duration.

Abstract: Method, system, and computer program product are provided for reporting and processing information relating to railroad assets to user entities that form part of a railroad transportation network. The entities may comprise a plurality of entity groups performing distinct functions relative to the railroad assets, such as forming, operating, maintaining and/or servicing the assets of the railroad transportation network.
