Method and system for event recorder playback
First Claim
1. An event recorder playback system, comprising:
- a first locomotive and a second locomotive associated with a plurality of locomotives in a consist, each of the first and second locomotives configured with memory to store at least one dataset;
a communication network to connect the first locomotive and the second locomotives to one another to facilitate communication of the at least one dataset; and
a processor, in communication with the first and second locomotive via the communication network, configured to;
evaluate a first dataset associated with operation of the first locomotive and a second dataset associated with the operation of the second locomotive,determine a point of synchronization of the first dataset and the second dataset with respect to time,align the first dataset and the second dataset using the point of synchronization, andoutput the first dataset and the second dataset on an output device, wherein the output is aligned with respect to time.

Abstract
An event recorder playback system for a plurality of locomotives in a consist is described, including a processor configured to receive and save a first dataset and a second dataset associated with operation of a first locomotive and a second locomotive, respectively, in the consist. The processor may determine, using the processor, a point of synchronization of the first dataset and the second dataset with respect to time, and align the first dataset and the second dataset using the point of synchronization. The event recorder playback system may be further configured to output the first dataset and the second dataset on an output device. The output is aligned with respect to time.
