A system for monitoring and controlling a distance between rail cars during coupling may include sensors that detect, during a coupling event of vehicle systems, positioning data indicative of a positioning of a first coupling of a first vehicle system and positioning data indicative of a positioning of a second coupling of a second vehicle system. A controller includes one or more processors that receive the positioning data of the first coupler and the second coupler and determine whether the first coupler is misaligned with the second coupler. The controller may initiate an action of the first coupling, the second coupling, the first vehicle system, or the second vehicle system to change a positioning of the first coupling, the second coupling, the first vehicle system, or the second vehicle system. Varying the positioning of the first coupling, the second coupling, the first vehicle system, or the second vehicle system aligns the first coupling with the second coupling.

    一种在联接期间监测并控制轨道车之间的距离的系统,可包含传感器,其在车辆系统的联接事件期间检测指示第一车辆系统的第一联接器的定位的定位数据和指示第二车辆系统的第二联接器的定位的定位数据。控制器包含一个或多个处理器,其接收所述第一联接器和所述第二联接器的所述定位数据并且确定所述第一联接器是否与所述第二联接器未对准。所述控制器可起始所述第一联接器、所述第二联接器、所述第一车辆系统或所述第二车辆系统的动作以改变所述第一联接器、所述第二联接器、所述第一车辆系统或所述第二车辆系统的定位。改变所述第一联接器、所述第二联接器、所述第一车辆系统或所述第二车辆系统的所述定位使所述第一联接器与所述第二联接器对准。
