Patent ID: 8408362

Claim:
A liquid composition application system, comprising: i. a topological device comprising a single global position system (GPS) for acquiring topological information of a rail system based upon sampling of data from the single GPS in real-time, the topological information comprising, speed, heading, altitude, change in speed, change in direction, change in elevation or orientation of a rail car in the rail system, or a combination thereof; ii. an applicator for application of the liquid composition; iii. a processing device for receiving the topological information, and controlling the application of the liquid composition by the applicator, wherein control of the application of the liquid composition is based on the topological information received by the processing device; iv. the processing device additionally acquires data on operational parameters of the liquid composition application system, the data on the operational parameters of the liquid composition application system is accessed, and monitored, remotely at a site separate from a train consist in the rail system.
