SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR OPTIMISATION OF TRAIN CRUISE Russian patent published in 2013 - IPC B61L25/00 

FIELD: transport.

SUBSTANCE: set of invention relates to optimisation of train operation. System for control of train including one or more locomotive-hauled stocks comprises the following components: radar set to locate the train, component describing the track to output appropriate data, processor to obtain data from radar set and track describing component and configured to generate schedule aboard the train. Processor allows generating train motion schedule proceeding partially from application of constrictions to handle position variation. Besides, said system comprises controller of train automatic control. Method of automatic train control comprises the following stages whereat: received are data on train location on track, data on track characteristics, data on operating conditions at one or more locomotives, to develop cruise schedule aboard the train proceeding from train location in compliance with, at least, one operating criterion for train. Note here that cruise schedule is generated proceeding from the conditions of applying restrictions to handle position variation. In compliance with said schedule train is controlled independently in travel along the track.

EFFECT: optimised train operation.
