    Abstract: Methods for detecting a short fault of an alternator rectifier electronic component include sampling a field winding voltage or current signal of an alternator, during operation of the alternator, and determining a fault ripple period at which the alternator field winding signal exceeds a fault threshold. A short fault of an electronic component of a rectifier coupled to the alternator is detected in the event that the fault ripple period closely matches an alternator armature period. Alternatively or additionally, the sampled field winding signal is band pass filtered, and a short fault is detected in the event that an amplitude of the band pass filtered field winding signal exceeds a fault threshold. The methods can be implemented, for example, by an apparatus that includes a hysteresis frequency counter, a frequency comparator, and a countdown timer.

    Abstract: Vehicle suspension systems including a truck and a spring system for an axle are provided. In one example, a truck includes an unpowered axle spring system that is configured to generate an overall unpowered axle separation force between a truck frame and an unpowered axle carrier. The overall unpowered axle separation force has a rate of decrease that increases past a first separation distance between the truck frame and the unpowered axle carrier. A powered axle spring system is configured to generate a powered axle separation force between the truck frame and a powered axle carrier. The powered axle separation force has a rate of decrease that decreases past a second separation distance between the truck frame and the powered axle carrier.

    Abstract: A vehicle control system includes a transceiver and a control unit. The transceiver is configured to communicate with plural vehicles, to receive operational parameter values from the plural vehicles. The operational parameter values are generated by sensors on board the vehicles and relate to operation of the vehicles during movement of the vehicles along one or more routes. The control unit is configured to generate respective vehicle operational assessments of the vehicles based on the received operational parameter values. The vehicle operational assessments are representative of respective states of operational readiness of the vehicles. The control unit is further configured to generate control signals, relating to control of the vehicles for operation along the one or more designated routes, based on the operational assessments. The control signals are configured to control at least one device, either on board or off board the vehicles.
