TRAIN SYSTEM HAVING MALFUNCTION-BASED TRIP SIMULATION
First Claim
1. A system for simulating operation of a train, comprising:
- at least one sensor configured to generate a signal indicative of an operating status of a component of the train during completion of an assigned trip;
a display; and
a controller in communication with the at least one sensor and the display, the controller being configured to;
retrieve from memory first data associated with the assigned trip;
retrieve from memory second data associated with the train;
simulate completion of a remainder of the assigned trip based on the first data, the second data, and the signal, when the operating status of the component becomes malfunctioning; and
cause simulation results to be shown on the display.

Abstract
A system is disclosed for use in simulating operation of a train. The system may have at least one sensor configured to generate a signal indicative of an operating status of a component of the train during completion of an assigned trip. The system may also have a display, and a controller in communication with the at least one sensor and the display. The controller may be configured to retrieve from memory first data associated with the assigned trip, and retrieve from memory second data associated with the train. The controller may be further configured to simulate completion of a remainder of the assigned trip based on the first data, the second data, and the signal, when the operating status of the component becomes malfunctioning, and to cause simulation results to be shown on the display.

21. A system for simulating operation of a train, comprising:
-
at least one sensor mountable onboard the train and configured to generate a signal indicative of an operating status of a component of the train during completion of an assigned trip; a display located offboard the train; and a controller in communication with the at least one sensor and the display, the controller being configured to; retrieve from memory first data associated with the assigned trip; retrieve from memory second data associated with the train; receive input indicative of a goal for the train associated with the assigned trip; simulate completion of a remainder of the assigned trip based on the first data, the second data, and the signal, when the operating status of the component becomes malfunctioning; make a comparison of simulation results with the goal; and show on the display an indication regarding a successful outcome for the remainder of the assigned trip based on the comparison. - View Dependent Claims (22)

23. A method of simulating operation of a train, comprising:
-
generating a signal indicative of an operating status of a component of the train during completion of an assigned trip; retrieving from memory first data associated with the assigned trip; retrieving from memory second data associated with the train; simulating completion of a remainder of the assigned trip based on the first data, the second data, and the signal, when the operating status of the component becomes malfunctioning; and displaying results of the simulating. - View Dependent Claims (24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30)
