ABSTRACT:
A locomotive control system for performance assessment of a locomotive engine includes a controller and at least one sensor coupled to the controller. The at least one sensor is located proximal to the locomotive engine so as to gather actual performance data from the locomotive engine. The controller monitors locomotive current operating conditions and utilizes the current operating conditions to calculate predicted performance. The controller compares the predicted performance output based upon the current operating conditions with the actual performance data to monitor any substantial deviations therefrom.
