Abstract
A train tracking system includes a train tracking module, a plurality of input sources providing train related information, and one or more interface(s) associated with the train tracking module, wherein the train tracking module is configured via computer executable instructions and through operation of a processor to receive the train related information from the plurality of input sources via the one or more interface(s), determine a position of a train within a train track map, and determine a location attribute for the position of the train.
Claims17
A train tracking system comprising:
- train tracking module,
- a plurality of input sources providing train related information,
- a configuration table configured to be accessed by the train tracking module, and
- one or more interface(s) associated with the train tracking module,
- wherein the train tracking module is configured via computer executable instructions and through operation of at least one processor to
- receive the train related information from the plurality of input sources via the one or more interface(s),
- determine a position of a train within a train track map, and
- determine location attribute for the position of the train,
- wherein the location attribute for the position of the train includes a trusted position and a suspect position,
- wherein the trusted position and the suspect position is determined utilizing the configuration table, and
- wherein a determined position of the train is associated either with the trusted position or the suspect position.
A method for train tracking, the method comprising through operation of at least one processor:
- collecting train related information from a plurality of input sources via one or more interface(s),
- determining a position of a train within a train track map based on the train related information,
- accessing a configuration table, and
- determining a location attribute for the position of the train,
- wherein the location attribute including a trusted position and a suspect position is determined utilizing the configuration table.
