  • Vehicle emulator system
    Patent number: 11155287
    Abstract: A vehicle control signal generator includes emulation circuitry for emulating at least one operation of at least one vehicle control circuit. The emulation circuitry is programmed or configured to determine or receive user input and based at least partially on the user input, generate at least one control signal for controlling at least one of the following onboard vehicle subsystems: a propulsion system, a train line control system, an air brake system, a dynamic braking system, a head of train (HOT) system, an end of train telemetry (EOT) system, a 4-Aspect cab signaling system, a positive train control (PTC) system, an event recorder system, or any combination thereof.
