Assignee: NATIONAL RAILROAD PASSENGER CORPORATION
Field: Transport (Mechanical engineering)
Classification: CPC B  G | IPC B  G

Claim 13:
14. A system for augmenting spatial awareness while navigating a transportation network comprising:
a communications interface;
one or more processors coupled to one or more memories; and
a non-transitory computer-readable media having executable instructions stored therein, which when executed by at least one of the one or more processors cause the system to perform operations comprising:
receiving, from an alerting device via the communications interface, a request for an equipment operations specific section of interest database, the request including an equipment identifier;
querying a section of interest database for sections of interest associated with the equipment operations identifier, each section of interest defined by a transition latitude, a transition longitude, at least one segment speed, an end latitude, and an end longitude;
preparing the equipment operations specific section of interest database configured to be queried using geolocation data to identify a next section of interest equipment will encounter, the equipment identified by the equipment identifier; and
transmitting the equipment operations specific section of interest database to the alerting device on the equipment, wherein the alerting device is configured to query the equipment operations specific section of interest database as the equipment travels a railway to determine a next section of interest, and wherein the alerting device is further configured to issue an alert when a reduction in speed is necessary, the reduction in speed being an amount of speed by which a speed of the equipment must be reduced in order for the equipment to achieve a target speed associated with the next section of interest.
