Accuspeed™
Locomotive Remote Control System
The Accuspeed™ is a comprehensive locomotive remote control system that enables operators to safely control the locomotive via wireless remote control. The system continually applies the right amount of throttle or brake to maintain the selected speed regardless of track grade or train mass while the operator focuses on train movements, track conditions and personal safety. Accuspeed is designed for FRA-regulated railroad operations in the Americas.
