In one embodiment, the device comprises. a first light unit configured to emit a first pattern of light in a non-visible spectrum; a second light unit configured to emit a second pattern of light in the non-visible spectrum; wherein said first pattern is distinct from said second pattern; an interface in communication with the first and second light units and configured to receive information of an operational mode of the wayside device; wherein the first and second light units are responsive to one or more first control signals from said interface to operate in a first mode, corresponding to a first operational mode of the wayside device, in which said first pattern of light is on and said second pattern of light is off; and wherein the first and second light units are responsive to one or more second control signals from said interface to operate in a second mode, corresponding to a second operational mode of the wayside device, in which said first pattern of light is off and said second pattern of light is on. | 01-17-2013 |
20130153714 | Non Stop Commute On Single Railway - Non-Stop Commute is a revolutionized railway travel, which make full use of current railway construction, get rid of locomotive, simply run with enhanced multiple units. It can increase the traffic flow to double or more and save all the waiting time for passengers at waypoint stops. It only brakes those stop unit(s) in need rather than the whole moving train.
