Abstract
A system and method include one or more processors and a communication device. The one or more processors are configured to receive sensor signals output by an observer device that monitors a route area. The one or more processors analyze the sensor signals to determine a distance of a vehicle within the route area from the observer device, and determine a vehicle location of the vehicle based on the distance and a predetermined location of the observer device. The communication device is configured to communicate the vehicle location to at least one of the vehicle or a remote control device that is off-board the vehicle.
