| 141 | Method and apparatus for identifying or controlling travel to a rendezvous | US08360186 | 1994-12-20 | US06324476B1 | 2001-11-27 | Karen I. Trovato |
| Paths are planned for one or more actors, through at least two dimensions of time or space, to identify rendezvous locations meeting a global criterion. At least two scenarios are defined, including at least one for each actor, and a configuration space is created for each of these scenarios. A scenario includes identification of the actor, a source direction for planning, a set of states identifying the source or obstacle locations, and the respective cost metrics for each possible transition between a configuration state in the corresponding configuration space, and its neighbors. Cost waves are propagated in each configuration space, to generate a cost-to-source for each state. A Boolean evaluation is then made of configuration states, according to a global criterion, to identify all possible rendezvous states. Finally, the actors are controlled to travel to that rendezvous chosen according to optimization criteria, or the candidate rendezvous states are displayed for further evaluation or use. | ||||||

| 143 | Automated wireless preventive maintenance monitoring system for magnetic levitation (MAGLEV) trains and other vehicles | US062862 | 1993-05-13 | US5445347A | 1995-08-29 | Joseph S. Ng |
| A status monitor and diagnostic unit (SMDU) (12) is provided in every car (14,16) of a magnetic levitation (MAGLEV) train (18) or other vehicle, and includes sensors (38,40,42,44,48,52) for monitoring the operational status or condition of the car (14,16). Network status interface units (NSIU) (22) are provided at stations (24) and at other fixed locations (26) through which the train (18) passes. The NSIUs (22) transmit polling signals which cause the SMDUs (12) to transmit data signals representing the operational status of the cars (14,16) to the NSIUs (22) via a spread-spectrum time-division-multiple-access (TDMA) network (30) when the train (18) passes proximate thereto. The NSIUs (22) relay the data signals to a maintenance control center (MCC) (28) via a wide-area-network (WAN) (32). The MCC (28) generates a prognosis of the operating conditions of the cars (14,16) in accordance with the data signals, and schedules maintenance actions based on the prognosis. The MCC (28) also includes a computerized maintenance data base (88) which can be accessed by technicians at remote repair facilities. | ||||||
| 144 | Event-activated reporting of vehicle location | US011989 | 1993-02-01 | US5311197A | 1994-05-10 | James L. Sorden; Terry J. Smith; Eric Klein |
| 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. | ||||||
