Publication number: 20250269887Abstract: A railroad infrastructure communication network is presented. The network can include a plurality of infrastructure nodes distributed proximate a railroad track, such as near railroad equipment and/or assets. Infrastructure nodes can be configured to receive data from equipment sensor and/or assets and transmit such data via the network. Infrastructure nodes can further generate alert and/or alert packets based on such received data. Infrastructure nodes can self-define in a network infrastructure depending on configured connection types, and can for example, serve as repeater nodes (to promulgate a transmission to additional infrastructure nodes) and/or collector nodes (to collect data for a centralized server node). A server node can be configured to receive data and/or packet from infrastructure nodes and generate requests for additional systems, personnel, etc. to address such requests.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 13, 2025Publication date: August 28, 2025Applicant: BNSF Railway CompanyInventors: Kent Shue, Carlos Aguilera, Marcus Parrott, Jerry Wade Specht, Perry Peden, JR.

A server node can be configured to receive data and/or packet from infrastructure nodes and generate requests for additional systems, personnel, etc. to address such requests. The network can limit the data transmission size and leverage distributed processing capabilities.Type: GrantFiled: October 20, 2021Date of Patent: April 19, 2022Assignee: BNSF Railway CompanyInventors: Kent Shue, Carlos Aguilera, Marcus Parrott, Jerry Wade Specht, Perry Peden, Jr.
