The system includes a telemetry unit positioned at a railroad grade crossing, a data collector, and report generation engines.
Claims14
A system for monitoring a grade level crossing, comprising:
- a telemetry unit, the telemetry unit having a processor in communication with one or more inputs and one or more control outputs, wherein the one or more inputs receive signals representative of a status of the grade level crossing, and the one or more control outputs operate one or more safety features of the grade level crossing;
- a data collector in digital communication with the telemetry unit via a communications channel, wherein the data collector receives and stores data records representative of an operation of the grade level crossing;
- a report processing engine in digital communication with the data collector, wherein the report processing engine is configured to analyze the data records and generate a report on the operation of the grade level crossing.
A method of monitoring one or more grade level crossings, comprising the steps of:
- providing a telemetry unit, the telemetry unit having a processor in communication with one or more inputs and one or more control outputs, receiving at the one or more inputs signals representative of a status of the grade level crossing, and the one or more control outputs operating one or more safety features of the grade level crossing;
- providing a data collector in digital communication with the telemetry unit via a communications channel, receiving and storing at the data collector data records representative of an operation of the grade level crossing;
- providing a report processing engine in digital communication with the data collector;
- analyzing at the report processing engine the data records representative of an operation of the grade level crossing;
- generating a report on the operation of the grade level crossing.
