Increase train hauling capacity by enabling longer, heavier trains. Improve productivity at yards and mainline using Remote-Control 机车 operation. Increase efficiency at mines and ports with Tower Control
以满足更长时间的需求, heavier trains—and provide efficient train handling—rail companies are choosing advanced distributed power systems that enable remote control of locomotives in separate consists from the lead locomotive.
LOCOTROL® Distributed Power (DP) System is a proven control and communication system enabling coordinated braking and traction power distribution between lead and remote locomotives for faster stopping times and shorter stopping distances. 结果? Increased hauling capacity, throughput and capacity. 更好的钢轨附着力. 提高燃油效率. Increased system throughput. Lowered brake-pipe charging time. And reduced operating costs.
LOCOTROL® Expanded Architecture (XA) is the next-generation platform providing a host of enhancements and productivity applications designed to increase the reliability and robustness needed for today’s railroad operations. Architected for the future of digital-rail communications, LOCOTROL XA utilizes multiple communication options to increase bandwidth and connectivity, resulting in 50% reduction in DP communication losses and 相关列车延误. Current DP customers can realize significant benefits by updating to the newer XA platform.
