Abstract:
A vehicle control system includes a controller that communicates between a first vehicle and a second vehicle and/or a monitoring device in a vehicle system. The controller determines a communication loss and, responsive to determining the communication loss, switches to communicating via a different communication path. The controller also determines an operational restriction on movement of the vehicle system based on the communication loss that is determined, obtains a transitional plan that designates operational settings of the vehicle system at one or more different locations along a route being traveled by the vehicle system, different distances along the route being traveled by the vehicle system, and/or different times. The controller automatically changes the movement of the vehicle system according to the operational settings designated by the transitional plan to reduce the movement of the vehicle system to or below the operational restriction.

Claim (Index 16):
A control system comprising:\n a controller configured to communicate a message in a first protocol from a first vehicle in a vehicle system that also includes one or more of a second vehicle or a monitoring device in the vehicle system, the one or more of the second vehicle or the monitoring device configured to communicate a message in a different, second protocol, wherein the controller is configured to switch from communicating the message in the first protocol with the one or more of the second vehicle or the monitoring device to communicating the message in the second protocol with the one or more of the second vehicle or the monitoring device, wherein the controller also is configured to implement an operational restriction on the vehicle system based on a change in communication quality.
