Patent ID: 8651433

Claim:
A train control system interfacing with a cab-signaling train control system having a plurality of train track wayside cab-signaling blocks respectively for transmitting train permissible speed limit information associated with each block to a train on the train track, comprising: an on-board train control system having a train location determination subsystem, the on-board train control system capable of sending train location information and receiving movement authority limit information; the on-board train control system generating a train stopping profile used to control train movement, the generated stopping profile based at least in part on the respective determined train location and received movement authority limit information; and a wayside controller interfacing with the cab-signaling train control system cab-signaling blocks for receiving train permissible speed limit information; and that is communicatively coupled to the on-board train control system for sending movement authority limit information to the on-board train control system; the wayside controller generating the movement authority limit information based at least in part on the received train permissible speed limit information provided by the respective cab-signaling wayside blocks.
