TRACTION-ENGINE ROUTE CONTROLLER Russian patent published in 2015 - IPC B61L27/04 

FIELD: transport.

SUBSTANCE: proposed device comprises navigation unit whereto data display module and memory module with the route electronic card written therein connected thereto, and transceiver unit connected via communication channel with transceiver unit of dispatcher automated workstation. Additionally, this device comprises current coordinate readout module, route coordinate readout module, module of comparison of current coordinates with preset coordinates, data message generation module, timer and engine locking signal generator. In traction-engine motion on rails, navigation defines the traction-engine current coordinates. This data is fed via current coordinates readout module to comparison module input. Second input of comparison module receives via readout module the data on preset route coordinates to be compared with current coordinates. If current coordinates correspond to preset coordinates no signal exists at comparison module output. This unit does not generate messages while timer stays at initial state and traction-engine goes on running along preset route.

EFFECT: higher efficiency of control over traction-engine route.
