Abstract:

The key objective of the Switch Point Monitoring System (SPMS) is to monitor, detect, and report improperly aligned switches on main tracks, which could compromise the safe movement of trains in non-signaled territory. When an improper switch point alignment is detected, the system will convey the information through a wireless network to the train dispatch system, allowing the train dispatcher to provide safe mitigation of the reported switch anomaly. SPMS provides an innovative, low-cost, closed-loop technology for improvement of freight and passenger train railway safety, affording a safer transportation environment at the community and industry levels by preventing train collisions and derailments.
