Systems and methods for providing autonomous train driving strategy

A computer-implemented method of operating a train, the method comprising:

• executing a train model to obtain movement of the train along tracks;
• obtaining run data associated with at least a dynamic environment around the train during the movement of the train along the tracks;
• inputting the run data into the train model;
• generating, by the train model, an output based on the run data;
• displaying the output of the train model for review by a human-user during the movement of the train along the tracks;
• receiving user-conflict data from the human-user during the movement of the train along the tracks, the user-conflict data indicating a disagreement by the human-user with the output of the train model relating to driving the train;
• adjusting a reward structure into an updated reward structure for training the train model based, at least in part, on the user-conflict data;
• and
• generating an updated train model based on the updated reward structure.

A method of operating a train, the method comprising:

• receiving, by a train controller on-board the train, a train model from a train model generator, wherein the train model is used by the train controller to generate an output using node data of a plurality of nodes;
• executing the train model to obtain movement of the train along tracks;
• receiving node data from the plurality of nodes during movement of the train along tracks, wherein the node data includes information related to at least a dynamic environment around the train;
• causing, by the train controller, an output of the train model to be provided via an operator interface operably connected to the train controller;
• receiving user-conflict data inputted into an input device of the train controller by a human-user during the movement of the train along the tracks, the user-conflict data indicating a disagreement by the human-user with the output of the train model relating to driving the train;
• and
• transmitting the user-conflict data to the train model generator.
