METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR LOCOMOTIVES CONTROL Russian patent published in 2009 - IPC B61L25/02 B61L3/00 

FIELD: engines and pumps.

SUBSTANCE: group of inventions is related to automatic control of locomotives. In method of automatic operation of locomotive marshalling yard comprises multiple switches, at that for every switch appropriate transponder is positioned at the distance from the switch, at that transponder is coded with information about switch position, locomotive is operated in railway marshalling yard with application of control system. When locomotive approaches every switch, information related to switch is received from transponder via transponder reading device fixed on locomotive, and locomotive displacement relative to switch is controlled in response to information received by transponder reading device from transponder. In system of automatic control of locomotive operation along railway, comprising switch, transponder installed along railway at the distance from switch, at that transponder is coded with information on switch position, device for transponder reading on locomotive for information reception from transponder and control system on locomotive related to transponder reading device and reacting to specified information, in order to automatically control locomotive operation relative to switch without data input by operator.

EFFECT: increased safety.
