More Information
Summary:A system for examining a route and/or determining information about the route and/or a vehicle system are provided. The system injects a first electrical examination signal into a conductive route from onboard a vehicle system traveling along the route and detects a first electrical characteristic of the route based on the first electrical examination signal. Using a route examining system that also is configured to detect damage to the route based on the first electrical characteristic, a first frequency tuned shunt in the route is detected based on the first electrical characteristic.
