Abstract
A method for controlling data communication within a locomotive consist is disclosed. The method may include receiving, at a first access point, a first set of data packets that represent a communication sent from a second access point via a first set of wires. The method may also include receiving, at the first access point, a second set of data packets that represent the same communication sent from the second access point via a second set of wires. Further, the method may include processing the first set of data packets and the second set of data packets to create a resultant set of data packets and generating, at the first access point, a communication related to operating the locomotive based on the resultant data packets.
