System and method for providing location and navigation services using positive train control data
First Claim
1. A method for providing location and navigation services in a Positive Train Control (PTC) network, comprising:
- generating PTC data for at least a portion of a track network, the PTC data comprising real-time train data generated by an on-board system of a train traveling in the track network, the real-time train data comprising a train speed and a train location;
generating predictive train location data based at least partially on the PTC data, the predictive train location data comprising at least one upcoming location of the train associated with at least one time; and
transmitting at least a portion of the predictive train location data to at least one navigation service in response to receiving a request, the request comprising at least one of the following;
an intersection, a rail crossing, geographic coordinates, or any combination thereof.

18. A computer program product for providing location and navigation services in a Positive Train Control (PTC) network, comprising at least one non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising program instructions that, when executed by at least one processor of at least one remote server, causes the at least one remote server to:
-
generate PTC data for at least a portion of a track network, the PTC data comprising real-time train data generated by an on-board system of a train traveling in the track network, the real-time train data comprising a train speed and a train location; generate predictive train location data based at least partially on the PTC data, the predictive train location data comprising at least one upcoming location of the train associated with at least one time; and transmit at least a portion of the predictive train location data to at least one navigation service in response to receiving a request, the request comprising at least one of the following;
an intersection, a rail crossing, geographic coordinates, or any combination thereof. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20)
