Patent ID: 11873017
Assignee: NATIONAL RAILROAD PASSENGER CORPORATION
Field: Transport (Mechanical engineering)
Classification: CPC B  G | IPC B  G

Claim 0:
1. A device for augmenting spatial awareness while navigating a transportation network comprising:
a user interface;
one or more geolocation sensors;
one or more processors coupled to one or more memories; and
a non-transitory computer-readable medium 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 an equipment identifier associated with travel along a path within the transportation network by equipment;
querying a section of interest database to obtain at least one section of interest associated with the equipment identifier;
storing the at least one section of interest in a data store;
accessing geolocation data from the one or more geolocation sensors;
querying the stored at least one section of interest using the geolocation data to identify a next section of interest;
calculating at least one of a time to the next section of interest or a distance to the next section of interest;
determining that a reduction in speed is required, the reduction in speed being an amount of speed by which the speed must be reduced in order for the equipment to achieve a target speed associated with the next section of interest; and
providing an alert to the user interface as a result of determining that the reduction in speed is required.
