Abstract:
An anti-collision system for railcars and locomotives and, more particularly, to a distance ranging and worker coupling protection system utilizes remote-sensing radar techniques for use with a locomotive and railcar. The anti-collision system may include an object detector device attached to a railcar or a locomotive that detects objects in a path of the railcar and the locomotive and a train display device electrically connected to the object detector device. The anti-collision system may also include an emergency action device which enables a crew member to stop the railcar or locomotive without communication to a locomotive operator when a hazard is recognized. The object detector device may include a remote sensor, a radio, and a microprocessor programmed to include data-logging to record and log all data from the anti-collision system.

Claim (Index 9):
An emergency action system for use with a railcar or a locomotive, the system comprising:\n a user-based emergency action device that includes a transmitter and an emergency stop button; a train display device in communication with the user-based emergency action device, the train display device configured to provide a warning when the emergency stop button is pressed to immediately stop the locomotive and stop an unsafe movement of the locomotive; and a locomotive transceiver in communication with the transmitter and located on the locomotive, wherein the locomotive transceiver receives a signal sent from the emergency action device when a crew member presses the emergency stop button, and the locomotive transceiver further sends an emergency stop signal to a set of brakes on the locomotive to stop, wherein the transmitter and the locomotive transceiver enables the crew member to stop the railcar or locomotive without communication to a locomotive operator when a hazard is recognized, and further wherein the emergency stop signal is sent to a relay valve causing air to be released from a brake pipe, thereby immediately applying the set of brakes and bringing the locomotive to an immediate stop, wherein the locomotive transceiver and the relay valve are configured to be responsive to and in communication with the emergency action device transmitter.
