Abstract
An End-of-Train device, a system and a method for signaling events through a visibility marker is provided. The method includes identifying an illumination pattern generated by the visibility marker associated with an End-of-Train device on a leading train, wherein the illumination pattern is identified based on output of one or more secondary sensors on the follower train, and wherein the illumination pattern is indicative of an event affecting an operation of the leading train. Based on the identified illumination pattern one or more instructions to be executed are determined. Further, the one or more instructions are executed for signalling events through the visibility marker associated with the follower train.
