Abstract:
A locomotive () is operable in two or more distinct configurations, with the change in configuration being response to a configuration input signal (). A locomotive configuration is represented by the set of end use device control signals () that are generated by the locomotive control systems () in response to the respective set of operational input values (). For a given set of operational input values, a first set of end use device control signals is generated when a configuration input has a first value, and a second set of end use device control signals is generated when a configuration input has a second value. The configuration input variable is responsive to an emission profile associated with the locomotive location. A value of a locomotive emission parameter corresponding to the emission profile is monitored and saved in a storage device (e. g. , ).
