1. A system comprising:
- a location determining circuit configured to acquire position information of a vehicle system moving along a route; and
a controller circuit having one or more processors, wherein the controller circuit is configured to;
calculate curvatures of the route, based at least in part on the position information, to form a curvature waveform; and
generate a route map based on the curvature waveform.

Abstract
A system includes a location determining circuit configured to acquire position information of a vehicle system moving along a route. The system also includes a controller circuit having one or more processors. The controller circuit is configured to calculate curvatures of the route, based at least in part on the position information, to form a curvature waveform. The controller circuit is further configured to generate a route map based on the curvature waveform.

20. A method comprising:
-
acquiring position information of a vehicle system moving along a route; calculating curvatures of the route, based on the position information, to form a curvature waveform; identifying a circular curve of the route based on a morphology of the curvature waveform; determining a size of the identified circular curve by fitting a circle to the circular curve; defining a route map based on the circular curve; and generating duty cycle information based on the route map, wherein the duty cycle information includes at least one of a time interval of the circular curve, a length of the circular curve, a grade of the circular curve, or a speed of the vehicle system when traversing along the circular curve.
