  • Patent number: 12116029
    Abstract: The derail warning system may include a solar-powered LED indicator for derail or switch. The derail warning system may also include an orientation sensor that automatically turns on depending on the orientation of the derail (up or down), derail metal flag, or switch indicator flag. The derail warning system may bring more visibility with a 360-degree LED that is solar powered and may detect orientation and turn on based on the position of the derail, switch, or flag. The derail warning system may use a unique acceleration sensor or g-sensor that can detect orientation movement and automatically turn on or off and be fully charged to operate day or night. The derail warning system may also include a data-logging microprocessor to determine a time stamp of position and location.

  • Publication number: 20240300557
    Abstract: A railcar fouling detection system is disclosed herein that is configured to monitor a railway foul zone between a switch and a foul line by detecting railway vehicles moving within or through the foul zone and determining whether railway vehicles are positioned within the foul zone based on information obtained by the one or more sensors. In some embodiments, the railcar fouling detection system may be configured to determine whether a railway vehicle is positioned within the foul zone by counting the number of wheels (or railway vehicles) entering and exiting the foul zone. The railcar fouling detection system may be configured to provide a visual indication of whether or not a railway vehicle is presently within the foul zone and/or provide a notification to locomotives in response to detecting a railway vehicle positioned within the foul zone.
