BELTPACK®
Locomotive Remote Control reduces yard accidents and improves rail yard
productivity.
BELTPACK® is the most sophisticated computer-based locomotive remote control system on the market. It allows yard operators to control driverless, microprocessor-equipped switching locomotives using a battery-operated portable Operator Control Unit (OCU). What makes BELTPACK® revolutionary is BELTPACK Corporation's Brain in the Train™, an advanced onboard microprocessor programmed with the industry's best train handling practices. |

Other unique features
are Dynamic Speed Control™ which gives the operator complete
control over train speed and more time to concentrate on his
surroundings and
the movement of the train; Protective Pitch and Catch™ for safe and
efficient
dual-operator control and tilt detection, which will automatically
sound an alarm
and bring the train to a controlled stop if the OCU is tilted more than
45 degrees
off the vertical. As well, the reset safety control monitors
operator
alertness while interlocked processing of commands will prevent unsafe
actions.
There is also a pre-programmed coupling speed feature. Easy to use, there is no need for extensive operator train handling experience to put BELTPACK® to work, safely and efficiently. Click here to see BELTPACK®-IN ACTION. |

extensive
prototype field-testings and operator input. The OCU IIe housing
is made
of cast magnesium, making for a lightweight, high impact resistant and
highly
durable unit.
