Abstract
A train control system includes independent virtual in-train forces modeling engines onboard each of a plurality of locomotives in a train. Each of the plurality of locomotives may also include an analytics engine and a calibration engine configured to assimilate, analyze, and calibrate real time information from the locomotives and from draft gears and couplers interconnecting the locomotives and non-powered rail cars with determinations made by the independent virtual in-train forces modeling engine onboard the respective locomotive, with the plurality of locomotives of the train being configured to operate collectively and coordinate their own acceleration values based on a common goal of minimizing in-train forces without being dependent on command and control signals from a lead locomotive or central command.
