Abstract
A system and method for monitoring failure of a train within a tunnel is disclosed. The method comprises receiving, by the central server, an estimated crossing time for the train to cross the tunnel and the latest location of the train from a telemetry system onboard the train. The telemetry system comprises a Head-of-Train device communicatively coupled to an End-of-Train device. The method further comprises detecting a failure event associated with the train, by the central server, if an attempt to establish communication with the telemetry system is unsuccessful after the estimated crossing time. The method further comprises broadcasting, by the central server, an emergency alert message indicating the failure event to one or more receiving devices based on the latest location of the train. The receiving device is associated with at least one of an operator control station and an adjacent train.
