VEHICLE-BORNE EQUIPMENT OF AUTOMATIC LOCOMOTIVE SIGNALLING Russian patent published in 2008 - IPC B61L25/04 

FIELD: transport.

SUBSTANCE: vehicle-borne equipment of automatic locomotive signalling contains vehicle-borne controller and connected to it locomotive impulse sensors, pressure gauges, series-connected satellite antenna, radio channel antenna and radio modification, display unit, control unit, gang switch connected with vigilance lever, cab switch, and electro-pneumatic valve. Vehicle-borne controller includes speed indicator, pressure gauges indicator, microcomputer control, navigation receiver module, safe voltage conditioner, and monitoring circuit. Vehicle-borne equipment additionally contains execution circuits' unit input of which via first outer Controller Area Network (CAN) is connected to microcomputer control, and output is connected to locomotive power circuits. Vehicle-borne controller is additionally equipped with microcomputer with one of inputs connected via navigation receiver module to satellite antenna, and other input connected via radio modification to radio channel antenna, and third - to display unit. Speed indicator, pressure gauges indicator, microcomputer control, and microcomputer are connected by inner CAN bus isolated from second outer CAN bus by CAN bridge.

EFFECT: shunting locomotives safety increase during shunting operations.
