	Locomotive Software - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Locomotive Software was a small British software house which did most of its development for Amstrad 's home and small business computers of the 1980s.
		Its Locomotive BASIC for the CPC range was fast and highly-featured implementation of BASIC for the time and later led to the development of Mallard BASIC for Amstrad's CP/M + machines.
		Locomotive was also responsible for the ports of the CP/M operating system to Amstrad machines - initially 2.2 for the CPC464 and CPC664 and later CP/M 3.0 ("CP/M+") for the CPC6128, PCW range and Spectrum +3.

	Locomotive BASIC - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Locomotive Basic is a proprietary dialect of the BASIC programming language written by Locomotive Software used only on the Amstrad CPC (where it was built-in on ROM).
		Locomotive BASIC competed with the Commodore 64 's BASIC ( Commodore BASIC), which had no dedicated commands for graphics or sound.
		Drawbacks of Locomotive basic included the lack of structured programming (like almost all other common languages of the era), it was line based, and its rather slow speed, especially when plotting graphics.

	Marc Liyanage - Software - Mac OS X Packages
		Here is some software I found useful on Mac OS X, mostly UNIX / server type packages.
		There are two kinds of packages here: Other peopleâs Open Source software which I am building and packaging for convenient installation on Mac OS X, and some software written by me, mostly for Mac OS X but not exclusively.
		This is of interest to software developers which use Appleâs Cocoa application frameworks to write applications that display large amounts of JPEG images.

	NMRA Conformance and Inspection
		Once the hardware and software is installed, you can run the self test on the sender board and then run a test on a decoder.
		The self test is done by using the special feedback registers and the software controlled clock to step the hardware through initialization, signal generation, etc., one clock phase at a time.
		For locomotive decoders, this is only done for the higher speed steps to make sure the motor Voltage is clearly positive or negative.

		For example, locomotives from one railroad will be able to communicate, via data radio, with dispatch centers from other roads when operating on their track.
		The function of the locomotive system is to provide automatic location tracking and reporting, predictive enforcement of speed and authority limits, automated transmission of movement authorities, and switch monitor and control information via the data communications system.
		The locomotive equipment required to provide the level 20 functions of automated transmission of movement authorities and switch monitor and control is shown in Figure 3-5.

		The locomotives are to operate on the same loop of track (the outer one), running in the same direction.
		When a locomotive passes over a Hall sensor, the process associated with the locomotive must be informed that this has occurred.
		In recognition of the maps created for the last assignment, the idle process should be displaying the locations of the locomotives and their status (green for moving and red for sitting on a siding).

	TCS - Case studies > ATC > Custom Service Controller
		The main objective of the project was to build a custom service controller, which was a microprocessor-based locomotive controller on board every locomotive.
		The developed software provided the operator with the state of the vital parameters of the system, and supplied fault and diagnostic information.
		The developed software was configurable to all types of locomotives.

		This has nothing to do with architecture or software development: http://jules.unavco.org/ a site where you can graphically examine geophysical data including things like fault zones, earthquakes, and volcanoes, as well as earth at night, etc. It also has displayable information on other planets in the solar system.
		There are five basic truths that make a successful software project: regardless of what development environment or programming language is used, no matter whether it is managed using an “agile“ or a waterfall process, OO, SOA, AI or punch cards.
		My claim is that all software project “failures” can be traced back to a violation of one or more of these.

	GM locomotive unit puts ERP rollout back on track - Computerworld
		General Motors Corp.'s locomotive unit encountered such severe problems during a rollout of SAP AG's R/3 applications last year that its spare parts business virtually ground to a halt, forcing GM to launch an emergency turnaround effort six months after the software went live.
		The SAP software had to be reconfigured, flushed and repopulated with clean data, said Mike Duncan, director of worldwide aftermarket sales and development at the LaGrange, Ill.-based locomotive unit.
		The unit, which makes locomotives, diesel engines and armored vehicles such as tanks, also had to retrain end users and remap all the business processes that were being built into the new system.

		I use the contrasting metaphors of the sailboat and the locomotive to illustrate the value of the iterative approach, But is the locomotive really that bad?
		Instead of analogizing locomotive operations to software development, letâs instead map locomotive operations to data center operations, where very specific, dependable and by-the-clock predictability are expected and valued.
