A control system for a train includes a display unit providing a first display including a plurality of distance counters simultaneously, wherein the plurality of distance counters includes at least a count up counter and a countdown counter. The control system further includes a controller configured to continually increment or decrement at least one of the count up or countdown counters based at least in part on a track distance covered by the train.

A predetermined image processing is carried out on the images that have been taken by the cameras 101 through 108 attached to a side of the cars that form a train before the images are displayed on the monitor 301 that is mounted in the train. That is to say, as a first image processing, among the images to be displayed, a left-right inversion process is carried out on the images where the positional relationship between the cars and the platform in the image is opposite between left and right to the positional relationship as viewed in the direction in which the train is to travel. In addition, as a second image processing, a cutout process is carried out on the images to be displayed so that the cutout regions differ in accordance with the opening and closing state of the doors.

In order to locate points or lines of interest (A, B, C, D, A′, B′, C′, D′, 162, 163, 164) of a railway track (22), by means of a railway locating system (12), progressing on the railway track (22), a linear camera (26) pointing at the railway track (22) repeatedly acquires instantaneous linear optical data along an instantaneous measurement line (50), and an orientation device (52) of the railway locating system (12) repeatedly acquires orientation data of the railway locating system (12) with respect to a reference line (22A) of the railway track (22). By processing at least the instantaneous linear optical data, a potentially distorted bitmap image is constructed of a zone of the surface of the railway track (22), then points or lines of interest (A, B, C, D, A′, B′, C′, D′, 162, 163, 164) are identified in the potentially distorted bitmap image, before determining rectified coordinates of the points or lines of interest (A, B, C, D, A′, B′, C′, D′, 162, 163, 164), as a function of potentially distorted coordinates of the points or lines of interest (A, B, C, D, A′, B′, C′, D′, 162, 163, 164) in a reference system of the potentially distorted bitmap image and orientation data.

A vehicle includes at least one side bay equipped with a window, and a device for displaying at least one item of information on the window. The display device includes an image projector fastened to a ceiling of the vehicle. The display device emits light rays. A system of at least one mirror is arranged to reflect light rays emitted by the image projector in the direction of the window.

There is provided a train monitoring system using a train monitoring device that is mounted on a train and uses a plurality of cameras for imaging around the train from different sides. The train monitoring device includes a control unit that is configured to, when the train stops at a station, select one of the plurality of cameras as a rear imaging camera for imaging a rear side in a traveling direction of the train, after the train departs from the station, acquire image data imaged by the rear imaging camera, and transmit the image data to the outside.

An unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) system for maintaining railway situational awareness, includes a ground station configured to be mounted to a train, a UAV including a sensor, a processor, and a memory. The sensor is configured to provide a signal indicative of condition and/or an event. The memory contains instructions, which, when executed by the processor, cause the system to: selectively deploy the UAV, from the ground station mounted to the train, receive the signal from the sensor; and determine a condition and/or an event, relative to the train, based on the sensed signal.

In order to position a set of one or more tools supported by a railway intervention vehicle progressing on a railway track, data is received characterising a curvilinear abscissa of a spatial indexation marker, a positioning of the spatial indexation marker with respect to a reference line of the railway track, and coordinates of points or lines of interest in a two-dimensional reference system. Transposition matrix cameras acquire transposition bitmap images in a spatial reference system of the transposition system. An odometer acquires progression data of the transposition system. Then the spatial indexation marker is identified as a function of the progression data and curvilinear abscissa data, to determine data characteristic of the spatial indexation marker and the reference line in the spatial reference system of the transposition chassis, and to calculate transposed coordinates of the points or lines of interest.

A display device mounted on a train includes: a display capable of displaying display data by a plurality of display methods with different orientations; a detector that detects the installation state of the display; and a controller that acquires train information from which it is possible to determine whether the train is currently stopped, determines whether the train is currently stopped using the train information, determines a display method for the display data in the display on the basis of a result of detection performed by the detector when the train is currently stopped, and does not determine the display method in the display when the train is not currently stopped.

According to one embodiment, a method, computer system, and computer program product for tracking occupancy on a transit system is provided. The present invention may include receiving passenger information for passengers boarding a public transit system comprising one or more cars; counting the passengers within each of the cars of the public transit system based on the location of each of the passengers; identifying, based on the location of each of the passengers, whether each of the passengers is seated or standing; and displaying, based on the counting and identifying of the passengers, the current occupancy of each of the cars.
