Diesel loco event recorder with auto stop function RPDAUT-T

The system is used for automatic control of train brakes to avoid exceeding allowed speeds as well as for recording loco parameters. Also it can give visual and sound warning messages to loco crew. RPDAUT-T is successfully operating on TEM-2 locos in Guinean tropical climate conditions and can be easily adopted to any other shunting diesel loco.

The main system features:

Friendly HMI (driver – system interface);

Measuring loco GPS position;

Control of air brakes of loco and train. This function means applying air brakes if it necessary to reduce train speed according to speed limits map and train GPS position;

Recording loco parameters, measures by data acquisition system and proceeded by system CPU, into removable flash memory cartridge. Data contains: GPS loco coordinates, fuel quantity, loco operation parameters.

System functions:

System automatically applies air brake to reduce train speed or to stop the train if necessary. The loco driver releases brakes manually;
