| Apparatus that is carried on a land vehicle, a marine vehicle or vessel, or an airborne vehicle or vessel for notifying others that a vehicle accident or other abnormal situation has occurred and for notifying others of the location of the vehicle at the time of the accident. The vehicle carries an distance measuring system (DMS) signal antenna and receiver/processor that receives DMS-type signals from one or more DMS signal broadcasters and determines the present position of the vehicle, plus an activatable transmitter. The vehicle also carries an abnormality sensing means that senses the occurrence of an accident or other abnormal situation involving the vehicle or a vehicle occupant. When an abnormal situation is sensed, the abnormality sensing means automatically activates the transmitter, which then communicates the fact that an abnormal situation has occurred and the location of the vehicle at the time the event occurred. Alternatively, the abnormality sensing means can activate the transmitter only after a vehicle operator has taken affirmative action indicating that the transmitter should be activated. Optionally, the transmitter can also communicate the time the event occurred. If the abnormal situation is (1) a vehicle accident, (2) inoperability of the vehicle, (3) inability of the vehicle operator or other vehicle occupant to continue (e.g., because of a rapid change in a present health condition of the occupant), the transmitter can also communicate information on (1) the severity of the accident, (2) the type or cause of vehicle inoperability, (3) the reason the operator or other occupant is unable to continue. Optionally, the system can also transmit, or hold for future analysis, the values of one or more vehicle operating parameters sensed at a sequence of times preceding occurrence of the abnormal situation. The DMS may be a Satellite Positioning System, such as the Global Positioning System (GPS) or the Global Orbiting Navigation System (GLONASS), or a ground-based radionavigation system, such as LORAN, Shoran, Decca or TACAN. | ||||||
| 191 | Method and apparatus for controlling high speed vehicles | US605057 | 1990-10-29 | US5220497A | 1993-06-15 | Karen I. Trovato; Sandeep Mehta |
| Maneuvers of a controlled vehicle, such as a car, traveling at moderate to high speeds are planned by propagating cost waves in a configuration space using two search strategies referred to as budding and differential budding. Control is achieved by monitoring properties of the controlled vehicle and adjusting control parameters to achieve motion relative to a frame of reference. The frame of reference may change before the transformation to configuration space occurs. The method transforms goals, obstacles, and the position of the controlled vehicle in task space to a configuration space based on the position of these objects relative to a moving frame of reference. The method also determines a local neighborhood of possible motions based on the control capabilities of the vehicle. In one embodiment, the controlled parameters are time derivatives of the monitored properties. A variation of the method provides for the parallel computation of the configuration space. In one embodiment of the parallel computation, the case where two processes are used, a first process and configuration space would be used to plan. A second process and configuration space would be used to read the setpoints which are sent as control directives to the vehicle. | ||||||

| A pair of oppositely directed beams of light are rotated about an axis. The direction of the beams has a small deviation from a plane normal to the axis, whereby flashes of equal strength from both beams are produced in the normal plane at twice the frequency of revolution, thereby indicating the normal plane to a viewer. In similar manner, a line may be indicated by making a beam rotate about an axis having a small deviation from that of the beam.

| A method includes forming a first schedule for a first vehicle to travel in a transportation network. The first schedule includes a first arrival time of the first vehicle at a scheduled location. The method also includes receiving a first trip plan for the first vehicle from an energy management system. The first trip plan is based on the first schedule and designates at least one of tractive efforts or braking efforts to be provided by the first vehicle to reduce at least one of an amount of energy consumed by the first vehicle or an amount of emissions generated by the first vehicle when the first vehicle travels through the transportation network to the scheduled location. The method further includes determining whether to modify the first schedule to avoid interfering with movement of one or more other vehicles by examining the trip plan for the first vehicle. | ||||||
