A target vehicle, for example a two-wheeled vehicle, for mounting onto an ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance System) testing platform is provided. The target vehicle comprises one or more sensors and an actuation assembly comprising an actuator. The sensors are arranged to measure a parameter relating to the dynamics of the target vehicle and may for example comprise accelerometers. The actuation assembly adjusts the tilt of the target vehicle in dependence on the output of the sensor(s), for example by means of a control unit. The tilting of the vehicle during cornering may thus be simulated. The measuring of such a parameter and the adjusting of the tilt may be conducted remotely from the testing platform. The sensor(s), control unit and actuator assembly may be self-contained within the target vehicle. A method of modeling a VRU (Vulnerable Road User) for ADAS testing is also provided.

An aircraft sound diagnostic method includes a step of measurement of acoustic signals by a plurality of microphones mounted at different positions inside the aircraft, a step of recording of the measured acoustic signals, a computation step which generates a sound mapping on the basis of the measured acoustic signals, a step of comparison of the sound mapping and a reference mapping and a step of transmission of the comparison to a user device. The method makes it possible to track the trending of an abnormal noise or of an abnormal noise level and assist in determining the context thereof. An aircraft sound diagnostic device for implementing the method is also described.

Aspects of the disclosure describe a wheeled vehicle having a structure attached thereto and configured to acquire within the interior of the structure a vehicle to be inspected. The structure is configured to receive the vehicle within its interior. In example implementations, the structure is located relative to the wheeled vehicle such that the vehicle to be inspected is loaded into and received within the structure during travel of the wheeled vehicle past the vehicle to be inspected. Having loaded the vehicle into the structure, the vehicle may be inspected. Once inspection is complete, the vehicle may be unloaded from the structure. In example implementations, the structure is located relative to the wheeled vehicle such that the inspected vehicle is unloaded from the structure during travel of the wheeled vehicle past the inspected vehicle. The wheeled vehicle may transport the structure to the site of another vehicle to be inspected.

An energy harvester system includes an aircraft power cable carrying an alternating current and an energy harvester. The energy harvester includes a ferromagnetic ring encircling the aircraft power cable and configured so that the alternating current in the aircraft power cable generates magnetic flux in the ferromagnetic ring and an inductive coil wrapped around at least a portion of the ferromagnetic ring to generate a voltage from the magnetic flux in the ferromagnetic ring.

A vibration measurement sensor (3) adapted to measure the vibrations formed on a test object (O) with moving mechanical systems, at least one noise measurement sensor (4) adapted to measure sound intensity and/or particle velocity and/or sound pressure in at least one direction, i.e. on one axis, and a vibration and noise mapping system (1) that is adapted to control the vibration measurement sensor (3) and the noise measurement sensor (4), to provide the vibration and acoustic performance data of the test object (O) according to the data obtained from these units (3, 4) and to identify the areas on the test object (O) that are problematic or need to be studied further in order to improve vibration and acoustic performances thereof, and to control the operation of test objects (O) such as moving mechanical systems under different conditions.

A station for compliance testing of unmanned vehicles comprises a dedicated area for acceptance of an unmanned vehicle. The dedicated area is configured for permitting the unmanned vehicle to be in a first inspection position. The station further comprises a transmitter. The transmitter is directed towards the dedicated area. The transmitter is configured to instruct the unmanned vehicle to perform a behavior. The station further comprises a sensor. The sensor is directed towards the dedicated area. The sensor is configured to detect a non-compliance of the unmanned vehicle. The detected non-compliance is in response to the instructed performed behavior of the unmanned vehicle.

To determine a treatment facility for repairing a damaged vehicle, a display allows a user to select from several treatment facilities assigned to the same treatment complexity level category as the damaged vehicle. The display may be generated by receiving and analyzing sensor data for the damaged vehicle to determine an extent of damage to the vehicle. The extent of damage is then used to determine the treatment complexity level for the vehicle. The display may also include availability information for each treatment facility, an estimated amount of time for completing the treatment, and/or an estimated cost of repair. Once the user selects a treatment facility for performing the treatment, a request to transport the damaged vehicle to the treatment facility may be sent to the selected treatment facility or to a vehicle transporter.
