Abstract

See full text

A system is provided for transporting wayside data on a rail vehicle. The system includes a wayside device positioned adjacent to a rail, where the rail vehicle travels along the rail. The system includes a transceiver coupled to the wayside device to transmit and receive data relating to the operation of the wayside device. Additionally, the system includes a transceiver coupled to the rail vehicle in communication with the wayside device transceiver upon the rail vehicle passing within a proximate distance of the wayside device. The rail vehicle transceiver transmits or receives the data based upon the communication with the wayside device transceiver. The rail vehicle transports the data between the wayside device and a secondary location along a pre-existing route of the rail vehicle prior to the communication with the wayside device transceiver. A method is also provided for transporting wayside data on a rail vehicle.
