Wayside Signal Communications

MeteorComm provides interfaces for signals, switches and track circuits. Signal interfaces connect to existing signal wiring non-intrusively through the use of Hall Effect current sensors. The MCC-545C performs periodic self-test on Hall Effect devices to verify their correct operation. Failures are reported to dispatch and the radio reports a fail safe "unknown" aspect to the locomotive.

MeteorComm peer-to-peer communication provides real-time signal aspect, switch state and track circuit status information directly from the wayside to the locomotive. There is no intermediary network standing between locomotive and wayside, ensuring fast delivery and greater reliability.

Wayside status and aspect information is delivered not only to the locomotive, but also to dispatch. Status and aspect information is reported periodically and whenever status and/or aspect changes occur.

The system has an open and nonproprietary interface architecture which means that any dispatch and train control system can be interfaced to the MeteorComm RF network. MeteorComm can provide customized solutions to fit customer's requirements.
