RailRider™ LMU
With the RailRider on-board you’ll experience many benefits:
- Improve locomotive utilization
- Reduce locomotive dwell and idle times
- Eliminate dump valve releases
- Further fuel management
- Gain visibility into dark territory
- Advance one-man crew safety
- Enhance crew productivity
Lat-Lon Locomotive Monitoring Unit
Improve Locomotive Productivity
The RailRider can immediately provide you with useful productivity information:
- Engine start and stop times
- Moving begin and end times and locations
- Move timed messages (every “x” minutes) to know current location and status. A separate Dispatch screen can be viewed that shows current locomotive position, speed, direction, etc.
- Tripwire creates a virtual line that can be drawn anywhere on a map in any orientation. When a locomotive crosses the tripwire then a message is created giving a precise time when the tripwire was crossed. It is a superior solution to a geofence because it can be used in tight places where you want to identify just one track or road.
Be Notified with Alarm Messages
Alarm thresholds can be configured to send an immediate message via e-mail or any mobile device. All alarms and alarm thresholds can be set-up and updated at any time from your computer. Examples of alarm messages include:
- Temperature–Sends immediate message when temperature crosses your defined threshold
- Over-speed–Sends an immediate message when the equipment exceeds a certain speed
- Digital message–Sends an immediate message when state changes, such as an open door or hatch
- Impact–Sends an immediate message when the G threshold is reached
Get Current GPS and Sensor Status
The RailRider will constantly monitor the GPS and other installed sensors. When the unit sends a report it will contain the following data:
- Date/time
- Engine run status
- Location (latitude, longitude, distance/direction from nearest town)
- Hobbs counter
- Battery voltage
- Report type (reason for report)
- Coolant temperature
- Speed
- Fuel level
- Maximum speed
- 12 digital inputs
- Distance
- Course (heading)
And unlimited access to all this information is available via data feed or on our Web-Based Software.
