Fuel consumption monitoring system

for railway vehicleswirelessreal-time

Railroad telematics system is used for remote monitoring of operational parameters of locomotives and railway machinery: fuel consumption measurement, fuel tank fill-up and draining detection, monitoring of remaining fuel volume in tank; recording total operation time of each engine (genset) in “Heating up” and “Optimal” work modes; diagnostics of engine’s error codes and malfunctions, condition of fuel system and other units of the machinery. Tasks solved 1) Online monitoring of fuel consumption by operation mode 2) Online monitoring of fuel volume, fill-ups and draining 3) Fuel theft prevention from fuel line and tank 4) Monitoring for engine hours by operation mode 5) Engine failure detection Parameter monitoring Fuel consumption and operation time of main and reserve gesnsets in various operation modes – warming-up, normal load mode. Accurate volume and temperature of fuel in main and feed tanks, also total volume of fuel. Data from standard CAN bus and CAN j1939/S6 interface – temperature, level and pressure of liquids. Event detection Drain/Fillings of fuel, genset start/stop. Fuel consumption tampering, engine failures and malfunctions. Event notification via SMS and e-mail.
