Design and implemention on real time monitoring system for railway locomotive states by satellite communication

The real-time monitoring system of running state of electric locomotives is studied and designed. Based on the satellite communication and GPS and GIS technology, this system traces and locates the running locomotives. It receives the running information and key parameters when malfunction occurs. And then, the ground monitor system analyses and processes these data and feeds them back to the monitor on locomotives which help drivers find out solutions. This system resolves bi-directional communication between remote running locomotives and monitor system on the ground, and realizes the real-time monitoring on running locomotives which ensure the locomotives' security. The data of real time running indicate that the project is efficient and reliable.
