Vehicle system and method

A system, comprising:

• a wayside device configured to detect one or more operating parameters of a vehicle in a vehicle system moving over a route segment;
• and
• a processor and a memory storing instructions executable by the processor to cause the processor to:
• receive information from the wayside device regarding at least the one or more operating parameters detected, and
• based at least in part on the information that is received, control the movement of the vehicle at least in part by a cut out of a propulsive axle in response to the one or more operating parameters being associated with the propulsive axle.

A system, comprising:

• a wayside device configured to detect one or more operating parameters of a vehicle in a vehicle system moving over a route segment;
• and
• a processor and a memory storing instructions executable by the processor to cause the processor to:
• receive information from the wayside device regarding at least the one or more operating parameters detected, and
• based at least in part on the information that is received, control the movement of the vehicle based at least in part on a location, and the controller is configured to slow or stop the vehicle in a higher population area differently than in a lower population area.

A system, comprising:

• a wayside device configured to detect one or more operating parameters of a vehicle in a vehicle system moving over a route segment;
• and
• a processor and a memory storing instructions executable by the processor to cause the processor to:
• receive information from the wayside device regarding at least the one or more operating parameters detected, and
• based at least in part on the information that is received, control the movement of the vehicle based at least in part on a cargo type and the controller is configured to determine to slow or stop the vehicle with a hazardous cargo differently than with less hazardous cargo.

A system, comprising:

• a wayside device configured to detect one or more operating parameters of a vehicle in a vehicle system moving over a route segment;
• and
• a processor and a memory storing instructions executable by the processor to cause the processor to:
• receive information from the wayside device regarding at least the one or more operating parameters detected,
• determine which of friction brakes, dynamic braking, or both to respond to a determination of an anomalous operation of a railcar component,
• determine whether to apply braking of the vehicle system at different times, at different rates, and with different vehicles of the vehicle system;
• and
• control movement the vehicle directly based at least in part on the information that is received from the wayside device.
