Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	Disclosed is a train system comprising track extending in a travel direction; a plurality of cars situated on the track and connected in a car order to form a train; a plurality of data 5 tags on the plurality of cars, each of the plurality of data tags storing a unique identifier; a position sensing unit including: a data tag reader arranged along the track and operable to detect each of the plurality of data tags in sequence and read the unique identifiers therefrom; and a programmable logic controller (PLC) in signal communication with the position sensing unit, the PLC storing a list of the unique 10 identifiers corresponding to the car order and being configured to determine a train position based on inputs from the position sensing unit and the stored list.
