Abstract
A locomotive control system includes one or more processors configured to determine quality of service (QoS) parameters of locomotive devices communicating data with each other in an Ethernet network that is configured as a time sensitive network (TSN) and that is onboard a locomotive. The one or more processors also are configured to determine available communication pathways in the TSN through which the locomotive devices are able to communicate the data. The one or more processors also are configured to select one or more of the available communication pathways and to designate communication times at which the data is communicated between the locomotive devices to satisfy the QoS parameters of the locomotive devices.
