Abstract: An adaptable vehicle monitoring system is disclosed. The system includes a core platform having a state monitoring subsystem and a feedback subsystem. The core platform interconnects a perception subsystem, a knowledge acquisition subsystem, and a user interface. The perception subsystem is configured to acquire current vehicle state data from instruments of a vehicle. The knowledge acquisition subsystem includes a context awareness subsystem configured to determine a current vehicle context. The state monitoring subsystem is configured to derive a current vehicle state based at least in part on the vehicle state data and vehicle context. The knowledge acquisition subsystem further includes a database subsystem configured to store the current vehicle state data, current vehicle context, and current vehicle state. The trend monitoring subsystem is configured to analyze the one or more stored vehicle state data, stored vehicle contexts, and stored vehicle states to identify one or more trends.

Abstract: An operator monitoring system for use in a ground based vehicle is provided. The operator system includes a monitoring system to collect information regarding one of a state of the vehicle and an environment in which the vehicle is operating. A core platform configured to determine one of a condition or an object based at least in part on information from the monitoring system. A response system configured to generate a warning corresponding to the condition or the object. And an interface to present the warning to an operator.

Abstract: A vehicle perception system for use in a ground based vehicle, such as a locomotive, is provided. The vehicle perception system includes a vehicle monitoring system to collect information regarding one of a state of the vehicle and an environment in which the vehicle is operating. A controller configured to determine one of a condition or an object based on information from the vehicle monitoring system. A response system configured to generate a warning corresponding to the condition or the object and an interface to present the warning to an operator.
