  • Publication number: 20170188249
    Abstract: A method for identifying a source of error in a communication network including at least one client configured to be connected to a base station is disclosed. The at least one client is arranged on a vehicle repetitively moving in a predetermined area. The method includes the steps of: collecting signal quality data from the at least one client for an extended time period when moving in the area, the signal quality data including a plurality of data entries; determining a position in the area at which each of the data entries was collected and a time at which each of the data entries was collected; identifying an anomaly in the signal quality data, by comparing newly collected signal quality data with previously collected data. A source of error may be determined from the time and position when the signal quality data having an anomaly was collected.

  • Publication number: 20170161568
    Abstract: A method for identifying an alteration of an object in the vicinity of a train in operation travelling on a rail track along a route. The train is operative to transport passengers or cargo. The method includes capturing image data of an object located at a point of interest along said route when said train is operational on said rail track. Furthermore, said image data is analyzed to find matching reference image data stored in a data storage device. Based on said matching reference image data, said object is located at a position within said point of interest. Further, said image data is analyzed to find an alteration of said object compared to said matching reference image data. If an alteration is found, an action depending may be taken.

  • Publication number: 20170164379
    Abstract: A method and system for wireless communication between a moving vehicle, such as a train, and a remote server through at least one external mobile network are disclosed. The communication system includes at least one router in the train for receiving and transmitting wireless data communication to and from a stationary communication server outside the train through at least one exterior mobile network via at least one antenna. The router includes a control unit configured to allocate bandwidth according to a predefined packet policy to streams of data packets which are matched to the predefined packet policies, providing for a very efficient bandwidth management in a wireless network within a train. Hereby, is easy to prioritize voice-over-IP (VOIP) and/or VPN traffic over video traffic.

  • Publication number: 20170163720
    Abstract: A method for wireless communication between a moving vehicle and remote servers through at least one external mobile network. A router in the moving vehicle is configured for receiving and transmitting wireless data to and from both an aggregation server, using aggregated communication over at least two separate links, and at least one other stationary communication server, using non-aggregated communication over a single link. The router is further accessible by a plurality of client devices onboard the moving vehicle. At least one selection rule is provided in the router for selecting whether to use aggregated or non-aggregated communication, and a determination is made, upon a request from a client device to communicate with one of said remote servers, whether one of the at least one rules applies; and if so selecting to use aggregated communication via the at least one other communication server for communication based on the determination.

  • Patent number: 9369862
    Abstract: A vehicle communication system is disclosed, for use on e.g. trains, ferries and busses. The system includes an internal local area network (LAN) arranged within the vehicle; at least one antenna for wireless communication with external wide area networks (WAN) outside the vehicle; and a data communication router for providing data communication between said internal LAN and said external WANs. The data communication router includes a plurality of modems for communication with said external WANs, a subscriber identity module (SIM) pool including a plurality of SIMs, and a controller capable of periodically assigning SIMs within said SIM pool to any one of said modems. Hereby, a very efficient use of the modems and SIMs is obtained, leading to a less costly system and a more efficient communication.
