A fall arrest system for arresting the fall of a user. The system may arrest movement of a worker after falling from an elevated work surface. The system may include a rail; a trolley having a body in rollable contact with the rail, a brake sub-system, and a plurality of wheels. The brake sub-system may include a brake rod, a brake pad connected to the brake rod, a lanyard connector connected to the brake rod, and a resilient element. The brake rod may be slidably coupled to the body so that the brake sub-system is alterable between: (1) a free state in which the brake pad is spaced a distance above the rail; and (2) an arrest state in which at least a portion of the brake pad frictionally engages the rail. The resilient element may bias the brake sub-system into the free state.

A pivoting/sliding door for vehicles comprising a door leaf with a support mechanism, a stationary rotatable spindle, and a spindle nut which is connected to the door leaf via a connection element and comprising a stationary guiding rail which has a curved section for a guide element fixed to the door. The curved section is followed by a section which runs perpendicularly to the spindle axis, the connection element is connected to the spindle nut and to a console which is fixed to the door leaf in a pivotal manner about axes, and the door leaf has a closed final position upon reaching the guide element of the transition point between the curved section and the perpendicular section in the longitudinal direction but is preferably still spaced from the closed final position in an adjustment direction.

A system for displaying an artificial horizon in an enclosed space. The system includes a first plurality of visual effect sources located in the enclosed space and configured to generate a first visual effect of the artificial horizon consistent with an orientation detected by an orientation sensor. The system further includes a second plurality of visual effect sources separate from the first plurality of visual effect sources and located in the enclosed space and configured to generate a second visual effect of the artificial horizon different from the first visual effect consistent with the orientation detected by the orientation sensor.

In an embodiment, a method (and system) includes dispatching and routing, by a dispatch and routing controller, and responsive to a received user request, a highly-automated trainset. The highly-automated trainset has one or more cars attached to a highly-automated locomotive. The method (and system) dispatches the highly-automated locomotive from a first location to a second location over a train track. The method (and system) provides, at the second location, a notification indicating readiness for loading of cargo onto the one or more cars. The method (and system) loads at least one of the one or more cars with the cargo at the second location. Further responsive to the received user request, the method (and system) dispatches and routes, by the dispatch and routing controller, the highly-automated trainset from the second location to a third location over the train track.

A method controls the height of a floor of a car of a vehicle relative to a platform. The car includes a body provided with a distance sensor, at least one bogie and at least one secondary suspension between the bogie and the body. The method includes measuring the distance between the distance sensor and the platform via the distance sensor, calculating the difference between the height of the platform and the height of the floor from the measured distance, and adjusting the height of the secondary suspension based on the difference.
