Abstract
In a railroad locomotive having a plurality of systems which collectively are used for locomotive operations, a method of self-healing a system of the plurality of systems comprising monitoring operational conditions of the system, detecting at least one of a pending and a current failure, determining a self-healing procedure to correct the failure, and applying the self-healing procedure comprising at least one of a safe mode technique, a redundancy technique, and an automatic configuration technique.

In a railroad locomotive having a plurality of systems which collectively are used for locomotive operations a method of autonomously self-healing each of said plurality of systems comprising:
- a. monitoring operational conditions of each of said plurality of system;
- b. detecting at least one of a pending and a current failure in at least one of said systems;
- c. determining a self-healing procedure to correct said failure in at least one of said systems;
- and
- d. applying said self-healing procedure comprising at least one of a self-healing control technique, a redundancy technique, and an automatic fix technique to correct said failure in at least one of said systems.
In a railroad locomotive having a plurality of subsystems which collectively are used for locomotive operations, a system for self-healing each subsystem of said plurality of subsystems comprising:
- a. a sensor connected to at least one of said subsystems to monitor and collect operating condition data;
- b. a diagnostics system that receives said data sad isolates at least one of a pending and a current failure in at least one of said subsystems;
- c. a processor connected to said diagnostics system to determine a self-healing technique for said failure;
- and
- d. wherein said self-healing technique comprising at least one of a self-healing control technique a redundancy technique, and an automatic fix technique.
