Abstract: A system for enhancing personnel safety on a railroad track is presented. The system can receive data from sensors and/or a PTC system to determine positions of clients/worker and/or vehicles, and further utilize such data to determine if a vehicle is within a certain proximity of the client/worker location. The system can further generate geofences around clients/vehicles to and determine when such geofences intersect one another. Additionally, the present disclosure can assign severity levels and generate alerts with the assigned severity levels, and such severity levels can indicate how close a vehicle is to a particular location. It is an object of the invention to provide a system for generating alerts to notify personnel when they much retreat to a place of safety.

Abstract: A system and method that automates trending data collection and timeseries predictions based on a coordinated system of emerging topics across social media, forums, news, media, search engine, web traffic, and other data sources. Using machine learning and natural language processing, trending data counts are cross referenced across each platform to inform representative conversational data collection, cultural classification, and timeseries predictions in order to identify emerging trends and predict trend trajectory over time. User interfaces provided by the system may be used to aid in evaluating emerging cultural trends as they may relate to business activity, law enforcement, and financial and other personal decisions, for example. The system may provide such data based on upon user configured searches that might focus the results on topics such as key consumer, economic, or political topics.
