Claims 1-3, 8-9, 11-12, 16-17 are rejected under 35 U.S.C. 103 over Klemanski (US 2017/0305449) in view of Liberatore (US 8,538,610).
Regarding claim 1, Klemanski discloses the limitations of claim 1 as follows:
A method performed by an on-board controller onboard a lead locomotive of a train comprising the lead locomotive and a trailing locomotive different from the lead locomotive, the method comprising: receiving an activation command for a remote operation of the lead locomotive and a target locomotive; (Klemanski, Paras. [0009]-[0014], [0021]-[0027], [0032], [0035], Clause 1, [0039], Clause 5, “…an on-board computer programmed or configured to implement or facilitate at least one train action…”, “… the communication device … is programmed or configured to … transmit the data representing an independent brake demand and the data representing an automatic brake demand to the at least one trailing locomotive …”, “… the communication device … is programmed or configured to directly or indirectly transmit the data … via an ECP brake trainline …”, discloses a train having a lead locomotive/control car, at least one trailing locomotive/control car, and onboard computer/controller. Therefore, the lead locomotive controller receives and processes commands for controlling both the lead locomotive and remote trailing locomotive).
based on receiving the activation command, establishing communication between the lead locomotive and the target locomotive; (Klemanski, Paras. [0009]-[0014], [0021]-[0027], [0032], [0035], Clause 1, [0039], Clause 5, “…the communication device … is programmed or configured to directly or indirectly transmit the data…”, “… the communication device … is programmed or configured to directly or indirectly transmit the data … via an ECP brake trainline …”. Therefore, the communication between lead and trailing locomotive is expressly established through the ECP communication path).
including: causing a brake system of the train to apply a preselected force to a brake of the train, (Klemanski, Paras. [0015]-[0016], [0019]-[0024], [0028], [0047]-[0052], and Clauses 3-4, 11-12, teaches applying a braking force, and various percentage brake applications corresponding to one of multiple selectable brake force levels).
and based on confirming that the target locomotive matches the trailing locomotive, automatically allowing the remote operation of the train. (Klemanski, Paras. [0013]-[0016], [0020]-[0027], teaches when the locomotive is determined to be the trailing locomotive, then braking control based on the received commands may be executed).
Klemanski does not explicitly disclose:
determining whether the target locomotive matches the trailing locomotive,
receiving, from the target locomotive, target brake pipe pressure data indicative of a brake pipe pressure of the target locomotive, causing a monitored system of the train to monitor trailing brake pipe pressure data indicative of a brake pipe pressure of the trailing locomotive, determining whether the target brake pipe pressure data matches the trailing brake pipe pressure data, and based on determining that the target brake pipe pressure data matches the trailing brake pipe pressure data, confirming that the target locomotive matches the trailing locomotive;
However, Liberatore teaches:
determining whether the target locomotive matches the trailing locomotive, (Liberatore, Col. 1, ll. 50-65, “… a need to accurately and consistently determine whether a locomotive in a consist is in leading mode or trailing mode”, Col. 2, ll. 1-12, “… communicative connection for obtaining a pressure measurement at the port, wherein a comparison of the pressure measurement at the port to a value associated with a pressure of another component in the locomotive is indicative of whether the locomotive is in the leading mode or the trailing mode …”, Col. 7, ll. 20-25, “The determination of whether both port 63 and 53 are connected to the main reservoir air or only port 63, is based on the model of the braking system the lead (controlling) locomotive 4 is equipped with and is determined by the operator. This is evident from the two trail positions available on the MU-2-A valve 34”, and Col. 8, ll. 1-34, shows that the pressure switch output used to determine lead/trail status. Therefore, teaches obtaining pressure measurements from locomotives and comparing the measurements to determine locomotive status such as lead/trailing status, and suggests comparison of pressure data associated with locomotives in the consist to verify locomotive status/identity).
receiving, from the target locomotive, target brake pipe pressure data indicative of a brake pipe pressure of the target locomotive, (Liberatore, Col. 2, ll. 1-12, Col. 3, ll. 13-32, “… obtaining pressure measurement from locomotive port…”, a pressure reading at port 63 indicative of locomotive operating mode, and pressure at port 63 measured and compared. Therefore, teaches obtaining pressure data from the locomotive).
causing a monitored system of the train to monitor trailing brake pipe pressure data indicative of a brake pipe pressure of the trailing locomotive, (Liberatore, Col. 3, ll. 13-32, Col. 8, ll. 26-65, control system receives pressure indication from pressure switch, and pressure measurement device obtains pressure reading. Therefore, teaches a control system monitoring brake pipe related pressure data from the locomotive).
determining whether the target brake pipe pressure data matches the trailing brake pipe pressure data, (Liberatore, Col. 2, ll. 20-29, Col. 3, ll. 13-32, Col. 7, ll. 20-48, Col. 8, ll. 26-65, shows comparing pressure measurement to pressure of another component, determining based on the pressure measurement, and the reading is compared to expected values of pressure. Therefore, teaches comparison of pressure measurements to determine the locomotive mode/status).
based on determining that the target brake pipe pressure data matches the trailing brake pipe pressure data, confirming that the target locomotive matches the trailing locomotive; (Liberatore, Col. 7, ll. 20-48, Col. 8, ll. 1-32, shows pressure comparison indicates whether locomotive is in trail or lead position, and pressure switch status is used to determine lead or trail status. Therefore, teaches obtaining pressure measurements from locomotives and comparing the measurements to determine locomotive status such as lead/trailing status, and suggests comparison of pressure data associated with locomotives in the consist to verify locomotive status/identity).
Klemanski and Liberatore are combinable, because both are from the same field of railroad locomotive control systems. It would have been obvious to a person having ordinary skill in the art before the effective filling date of the invention to utilize lead/trail determination techniques as taught by Liberatore, in order to improve operational safety and reduce the risk of unintended remote control.
As per claims 11 and 16, claims 11 and 16 encompass same or similar scope as claim 1. Therefore, claims 11 and 16 are rejected based on the reasons set forth above in rejecting claim 1.
Regarding claim 2, Klemanski and Liberatore disclose the limitations of claim 1. Klemanski and Liberatore disclose:
The method of claim 1, wherein determining whether the target locomotive matches the trailing locomotive of the train further comprises: based on determining that the target brake pipe pressure data does not match the trailing brake pipe pressure data, determining that the target locomotive does not match the trailing locomotive. (Liberatore, Col. 2, ll. 1-12, Col. 3, ll. 12-32, Col. 7, ll. 20-63, Col. 8, ll. 1-32, 55-65, shows obtaining a pressure measurement and comparing the measurement to another pressure value to determine whether locomotive is in leading mode or trailing mode. And the determination is based on pressure measurement and comparison. If pressure corresponds to one state, then the locomotive is determined to be in trailing mode, otherwise not be in trail mode, the control system determines lead/trail status from pressure indications. Therefore, teaches making a determination from a pressure comparison, when the condition is satisfied, then the locomotive is trail locomotive, if not satisfied, then it is not a trail locomotive).
The same motivation to combine utilized in claim 1 is equally applicable in the instant claim.
Regarding claim 3, Klemanski and Liberatore disclose the limitations of claims 1-2. Klemanski and Liberatore discloses:

And further teaches that the pressure switch 64 generating ON/Off status, and control system 66 reads the status. Determining locomotive lead/trail status, and using the determination for locomotive control functions).
automatically preventing the remote operation of the train. (Klemanski, Paras. [0014]-[0016], [0021]-[0023], “…the communication device of the lead locomotive or control car is programmed or configured to directly or indirectly transmit the data representing an independent brake demand and the data representing an automatic brake demand to the at least one trailing locomotive or control car via an electronically-controlled pneumatic (ECP) brake trainline connecting the lead locomotive or control car to the at least one trailing locomotive or control car ….”, teaches that the remote control commands are transmitted and executed through the control system/controller).
Although neither of references recite “preventing remote operation”, however it would have been obvious to one of ordinary skill in the art at the time of invention to prevent execution of remote control when the locomotive is determined not to be the proper trailing locomotive. Please note that, preventing execution of commands would have been an obvious use of the comparison results.
The same motivation to combine utilized in claim 1 is equally applicable in the instant claim.
Regarding claim 8, Klemanski and Liberatore disclose the limitations of claim 1. Klemanski and Liberatore disclose:

determining whether the target brake pipe pressure data matches the trailing brake pipe pressure data within a preselected range of brake pipe pressure. (Liberatore, Col. 7, ll. 53-67, Col. 8, ll. 1-25, “The pressure switch 64 in this embodiment is configured to turn "ON" when the pressure exceeds a specified set point (e.g. 50 PSI) and turn "OFF" when it drops below a pressure switch threshold …”, teaches pressure threshold, set points, hysteresis, and acceptable pressure ranges. Therefore, teaches obtaining pressure measurements from locomotive brake system components and comparing the measurements to determine locomotive status such as lead/trailing status, and suggests comparison of pressure data associated with locomotives in the consist to verify locomotive status/identity).
The same motivation to combine utilized in claim 1 is equally applicable in the instant claim.
Regarding claim 9, Klemanski and Liberatore disclose the limitations of claim 1. Klemanski discloses:
The method of claim 1, wherein causing the brake system of the train to apply the preselected force to the brake of the train includes applying a set of preselected forces. (Klemanski, Paras. [0015]-[0016], [0019]-[0024], [0028], [0047]-[0052], and Clauses 3-4, 11-12, teaches various percentage brake applications corresponding to one of multiple selectable brake force levels (i.e., set of preselected forces)).
Regarding claim 12, Klemanski and Liberatore disclose the limitations of claim 11. Klemanski and Liberatore disclose:
The on-board controller of claim 11, wherein determining whether the target locomotive matches the trailing locomotive of the train further comprises: based on determining that the target brake pipe pressure data does not match the trailing brake pipe pressure data, determining that the target locomotive does not match the trailing locomotive, (Liberatore, Col. 2, ll. 1-12, Col. 3, ll. 12-32, Col. 7, ll. 20-63, Col. 8, ll. 1-32, 55-65, shows obtaining a pressure measurement and comparing the measurement to another pressure value to determine whether locomotive is in leading mode or trailing mode. And the determination is based on pressure measurement and comparison. If pressure corresponds to one state, then the locomotive is determined to be in trailing mode, otherwise not be in trail mode, the control system determines lead/trail status from pressure indications. Therefore, teaches making a determination from a pressure comparison, when the condition is satisfied, then the locomotive is trail locomotive, if not satisfied, then it is not a trail locomotive).
and automatically preventing the remote operation of the train. (Klemanski, Paras. [0014]-[0016], [0021]-[0023], “…the communication device of the lead locomotive or control car is programmed or configured to directly or indirectly transmit the data representing an independent brake demand and the data representing an automatic brake demand to the at least one trailing locomotive or control car via an electronically-controlled pneumatic (ECP) brake trainline connecting the lead locomotive or control car to the at least one trailing locomotive or control car ….”, teaches that the remote control commands are transmitted and executed through the control system/controller).
The same motivation to combine utilized in claim 11 is equally applicable in the instant claim.
