Abstract
A locomotive control system includes a controller configured to control communication between or among plural locomotive devices that control movement of a locomotive via a network that communicatively couples the vehicle devices. The controller also is configured to control the communication using a data distribution service (DDS) and with the network operating as a time sensitive network (TSN). The controller is configured to direct a first set of the locomotive devices to communicate using time sensitive communications, a different, second set of the locomotive devices to communicate using best effort communications, and a different, third set of the locomotive devices to communicate using rate constrained communications.
