User interface for railroad dispatch monitoring of a geographic region and display system employing a common data format for displaying information from different and diverse railroad CAD systems
First Claim
1. A user interface for railroad dispatch monitoring of a geographic region including at least one railroad having a plurality of train tracks, said train tracks including a plurality of directions, said user interface comprising:
- at least one display comprising a plurality of train track diagrams for said geographic region, wherein said train track diagrams are substantially oriented in (a) at least a first direction and (b) a different second direction, which is substantially normal to said first direction, and wherein both of said at least a first direction and said different second direction approximate the directions of the train tracks of said geographic region.

Abstract
A display system for displaying information from plural different and diverse railroad Computer-Aided Dispatch (CAD) systems includes a web server, a number of display clients served by the web server, and plural data interfaces communicating to the web server employing a common data format. Each of the data interfaces receives a different and diverse data format from a corresponding one of the different and diverse railroad CAD systems and converts the same to the common data format. The display clients may include a user interface display for railroad dispatch monitoring of a geographic region. The display includes a plurality of train track diagrams for the geographic region, in which the train track diagrams are substantially oriented in a first direction and a different second direction, which is substantially normal to the first direction.
