Abstract
A system (10) for determining the status of a railyard includes a locomotive itinerary (42), a computer (16) configured with a comparator algorithm (50) used to compare a locomotive location to the locomotive itinerary, and at least one manager console (14) configured to communicate with the computer. Railcar information is input to the manager console and communicated to the computer, which generates a locomotive task list from the railcar information. The computer then generates (72) a locomotive itinerary, tracks the location of the locomotive and uses the comparator algorithm to determine (82) the schedule status of the railcar.
Claims (24)
1. A method for monitoring a status of a confined processing area using a system (10) that tracks the scheduled activities of a dependent object based on known locations of an independent object, the system including a comparator algorithm (50) and a computer (16) programmed with the comparator algorithm, said method comprising the steps of:
generating (72) an independent object itinerary (42) using scheduled activities of the dependent object;
moving the dependent object with the independent object in accordance with the independent object itinerary;
tracking a location of the independent object;
comparing the location of the independent object with the independent object itinerary; and determining (82) a location of the dependent object based on the location of the independent object.
generating (72) an independent object itinerary (42) using scheduled activities of the dependent object;
moving the dependent object with the independent object in accordance with the independent object itinerary;

comparing the location of the independent object with the independent object itinerary; and determining (82) a location of the dependent object based on the location of the independent object.
2. A method in accordance with Claim 1 wherein the dependent object is a railcar and the independent object is a locomotive, said step of determining (82) the location further comprises the step of determining the progress of scheduled activities for the railcar.
3. A method in accordance with Claim 1 wherein said step of tracking the location further comprises the step of using a global positioning satellite system to track the independent object.
4. A method in accordance with Claim 1 wherein said step of tracking the location further comprises the step of identifying the location of the independent object in reference to a network of paths.
5. A method in accordance with Claim 1 wherein the system (10) further includes at least one manager console (14), said step of generating (72) the independent object itinerary (42) further comprises the steps of:
communicating a set of dependent object information to the manager console, the manager console configured to communicate with the computer (16);
generating (68) an independent object task list (40) based on the set of dependent object information;
