A new console enhances automatic train control system design by allowing the operator of a mass transit vehicle to communicate with the vehicle's automatic train control system. The console utilizes microprocessor controls, a liquid crystal display, a standard keypad, and RS-232 communications. The operator is alerted to abnormal operating conditions and guided through corrective measures. Self-diagnostic routines are run during normal operation and during routine out-of-service maintenance. The application of microprocessors and associated technology allows changes in train operating characteristics to be made quickly and easily in the car borne software. Increased operator awareness of the state of the automatic train control system should reduce lost time and increase revenue service availability.
