EVENT RECORDER WITH CONFIGURABLE ALARM/EVENT MONITORING
First Claim
1. An event recorder system carried on-board a locomotive, the system comprising:
- a controller configured to;
receive data from one or more of a train management system, a cab signaling system, an energy management system, an exhaust aftertreatment monitoring system, a braking system, a communications management system, and an operator fatigue or distraction monitoring system, wherein the data comprises one or more of video data, audio data, sensor output data, GPS map data, scanned image data of an operator in a cab of the locomotive, and operational data associated with operation of the locomotive during a trip;
synchronize the data based on a common attribute associated with all of the data received by the controller;
receive from a user one or more customizable parameters predetermined to be indicative of one or more of a system-related characteristic or behavior associated with any one or more of the systems from which the controller receives data;
generate a system notification based on an indication of one or more of a system-related characteristic or behavior that one of falls outside of a predetermined range of system-determinable parameters, or indicates a trend in one or more system-determinable parameters that deviates from an expected trend in the one or more system-determinable parameters;
receive from the user a change to the one or more customizable parameters; and
determine whether the changed one or more customizable parameters warrants generation of another system notification based on an indication of one or more of a system-related characteristic or behavior of a different one of the one or more systems.

Abstract
A event recorder system carried on-board a locomotive may include a controller configured to receive data from one or more of a train management system, a cab signaling system, an energy management system, an exhaust aftertreatment monitoring system, a braking system, a communications management system, and an operator fatigue or distraction monitoring system. The data may include one or more of video data, audio data, sensor output data, GPS map data, scanned image data of an operator in a cab of the locomotive, and operational data associated with operation of the locomotive during a trip. The controller may be configured to synchronize the data based on a common attribute associated with all of the data received by the controller, receive from a user one or more customizable parameters predetermined to be indicative of one or more of a system-related characteristic or behavior associated with any one or more of the systems from which the controller receives data, and generate a system notification based on an indication of one or more of a system-related characteristic or behavior that one of falls outside of a predetermined range of system-determinable parameters, or indicates a trend in one or more system-determinable parameters that deviates from an expected trend in the one or more system-determinable parameters.

10. A computer-implemented method of operating an event recorder system on-board a locomotive, the method comprising:
-
receiving data at a controller of the event recorder system from one or more of a train management system, a cab signaling system, an energy management system, an exhaust aftertreatment monitoring system, a braking system, a communications management system, and an operator fatigue or distraction monitoring system, wherein the data comprises one or more of video data, audio data, sensor output data, GPS map data, scanned image data of an operator in a cab of the locomotive, and operational data associated with operation of the locomotive during a trip; synchronizing the data using the controller based on a common attribute associated with all of the data received by the controller; receiving at the controller from a user one or more customizable parameters predetermined to be indicative of one or more of a system-related characteristic or behavior associated with any one or more of the systems from which the controller receives data; generating a system notification using the controller based on an indication of one or more of a system-related characteristic or behavior that one of falls outside of a predetermined range of system-determinable parameters, or indicates a trend in one or more system-determinable parameters that deviates from an expected trend in the one or more system-determinable parameters; receiving at the controller from the user a change to the one or more customizable parameters; and determining with the controller whether the changed one or more customizable parameters warrants generation of another system notification based on an indication of one or more of a system-related characteristic or behavior of a different one of the one or more systems. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17)
