  • Publication number: 20210403062
    Abstract: A system is provided that include at least one positioning system that can detect a location or position of a vehicle or a portion of a vehicle group that includes the vehicle, at least one sensor positioned on or associated with the vehicle that can generate sensor data of a determined parameter or condition, and a controller in communication with the sensor and the positioning system. The controller can determine that a hazard event has occurred based at least partially on sensor data, and can communicate a hazard event notification based at least in part on the location data and the sensor data to a remote server.

  • Patent number: 10479380
    Abstract: A hazardous event alert system for a train includes a sensor, a communication device, a positioning system, and a computer. The sensor is positioned on or associated with the train and configured to sense or monitor at least one parameter or condition. The computer is programmed or configured to determine that a hazardous event occurred based at least partially on data generated by the at least one sensor, determine or receive the location or position of the at least a portion of the train from the at least one positioning system, generate a hazardous event notification based at least partially on the at least one condition and the location or position of the at least a portion of the train, and communicate the hazardous event notification to at least one of a back office system and at least one remote server associated with at least one specified entity.
