RETENTION AND LOADING AND UNLOADING IN HIGH SPEED TRANSPORTATION SYSTEMS

Techniques for injecting a vehicle into a high speed transportation system are described. A travel request is received from a user. The user is determined to be authorized to travel using the high speed transportation system, based on a profile associated with the user. An injection portal for the user to enter the transportation system is identified. One or more instructions for the user are provided, relating to the injection portal. A vehicle associated with the user is identified at the injection portal. Characteristics of the vehicle are sensed at the injection portal, including a center of gravity of the vehicle. The characteristics are determined to satisfy threshold values, and the vehicle is authorized for travel in the transportation system. A vehicle profile is generated. The vehicle profile is transmitted to a second controller associated with the transportation system. The vehicle is injected into the transportation system.

Access gate arrangement
11217054 · 2022-01-04 · ·

Managing passenger flows is an important issue in modern buildings. Particularly in high buildings there will be a lot of people arriving and leaving typically through one access floor. When passenger flows are not managed and passengers are not instructed facilities of buildings are not in optimal use. People may be queuing for one elevator group when another elevator group is not used in full capacity. This can be improved by using an access gate arrangement where the controller of the access gate arrangement receives information from external systems in the building.

Maintenance of distributed train control systems using machine learning

A machine learning system for maintaining distributed computer control systems for a train may include a data acquisition hub communicatively connected to a plurality of sensors configured to acquire real-time configuration data from one or more of the computer control systems. The machine learning system may also include an analytics server communicatively connected to the data acquisition hub. The analytics server may include a virtual system modeling engine configured to model an actual train control system comprising the distributed computer control systems, a virtual system model database configured to store one or more virtual system models of the distributed computer control systems, wherein each of the one or more virtual system models includes preset configuration settings for the distributed computer control systems, and a machine learning engine configured to monitor the real-time configuration data and the preset configuration settings. The machine learning engine may warn when there is a difference between the real-time configuration data and the preset configuration settings, the difference being indicative of at least two of the distributed computer control systems being out of synchronization by more than a threshold deviation.
