A new over lay technology for the Positive Train Control and Energy Management systems used by the railroad industry today which allows for automated train handling responses to potential on-track hazards. Various sensors, including image-capture devices, radar, and drones, are placed on or proximate to a train. These sensors are used to interface with or override the Positive Train Control and Energy Management systems where those systems activate specific actions such as slowing or stopping a train but hazardous conditions on the track may dictate an alternative response.
