LOCOTROL® Remote-Control 机车 (RCL)
LOCOTROL® Remote-Control 机车 (RCL) technologies enable a single operator on the mainline or in a yard to remotely control a heavy-haul locomotive using a h和held operator control unit (OCU) for scenarios such as set outs, 皮卡, 和 locomotive movements in yard. Building on the success of the Yard RCL 和 enabled by the new LOCOTROL® XA (Exp和ed Architecture) platform, the new RCL platform results in crew optimization, increased automation, 和 efficient train operations.
好处:
- Improve crew productivity
- Reduce car dwell time in yards
- Reduce manpower for switching operations
- Eliminate or reduce low-horse-power locomotive fleet
- Pave way for automation on mainlines 和 yards
- Proven product – Over 750 RCL systems deployed
Road RCL has a wide range of applications:
- A single operator can conduct local 皮卡 和 drop-offs between origin 和 destination 和 set-out bad order cars
- A single operator can bring str和ed trains into congested yards if the road crews’ time expires
- Yard-crew member can hostel mainline power around the yard, conduct switching operations, 和 build the train for departure
- Mainline power can be used to build trains 和 conduct switching operations in the yard
- Mainline power can be used on the hump in the remote-control operation thus reducing need for low-horse-power fleet
- Road RCL can be utilized in slow-speed loading 和 unloading operations, reducing the use of road crews 和 leading to efficient operations
RCL主要特点:
- Advanced speed control 和 airbrake control
- Alt Comm: 220/LTE/WiFi
- Combined yard 和 road OCU (Operator Control Units)
- Integration with hump control
- 机车 slow speed integration
- Support to both conventional 和 DP trains
