Abstract SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR AUTONOMOUS CONTROL OF LOCOMOTIVES A control system (100) for autonomously controlling a locomotive (114) may have at least one operational control device (232), on-board the locomotive, and configured to control an operational parameter of the locomotive. The control system may have an off-board remote controller interface (108), which may receive positional information associated with the locomotive and transmit route information to the locomotive. The control system may also include a locomotive controller (234) located on-board the locomotive. The controller may transmit the positional information to the off-board remote controller interface and receive the route information from the off-board remote controller interface. The controller may also determine a target value of the operational parameter based on the positional information and the route information, and a transition between a current value of the operational parameter and the target value. In addition, the controller may send a command and control signal to the operational control device based on the transition.
