Automatic berthing system and method
An automatic berthing system and method for a vessel are provided. The automatic berthing system comprises a controller, controlling the vessel; an input part, receiving an input to perform the automatic berthing mode; at least one peripheral sensor, detecting position information and speed information of another vessel other than the vessel to determine whether a wake caused by the another vessel has influence on the vessel. The controller performs an automatic berthing control when the input to perform the automatic berthing mode is received until the vessel reaches a berthing position, and the controller stops the automatic berthing control when the another vessel is located within a predetermined distance from the vessel based on the position information.
REMOTE WEB BASED CONTROLS FOR AUTONOMOUS OPERATIONS
A mission control may receive, from a yard management system (YMS), a move request identifying a destination spot in a yard and one or more of a trailer identifier of a trailer to be moved, a pick-up spot of the trailer, and a trailer type. Mission control determines whether the move request is feasible for an autonomous vehicle (AV). When the move request is feasible, mission control generates a mission defining directives to control the AV to move the trailer from the pick-up spot to the destination spot and sets, via an application programming interface (API) of the YMS, a status of the move request to indicate autonomous move is scheduled.
Remote power switch for an aircraft tug
This disclosure relates generally to aircraft tugs, which assist in the movement of small aircraft. More specifically, this disclosure relates to a remote power switch, which may also be referred to as an emergency tug shutoff (ETSO) switch, for remotely stopping movement of an aircraft tug. Systems that include such an aircraft tug and at least one remote power switch are also disclosed, as are methods for remotely stopping an aircraft tug.
METHOD FOR REMOTELY DEACTIVATING AN AUTOMATIC PARKING MODE OF A VEHICLE IN A MULTI-STOREY PARKING LOT AND ASSOCIATED DEACTIVATION DEVICE
A method for deactivating a remote automatic parking mode of a vehicle in a parking garage. The vehicle being equipped with a tire monitoring system, including wheel units mounted in each wheel of the vehicle and each being provided with an accelerometer measuring a radial component of an acceleration of the wheel and being dependent on a terrestrial gravitational field. The vehicle being provided with an automatic parking mode remotely controlled by portable equipment carried by a user. The method includes, if the conditions for activating the measurements of the wheel units are verified: each wheel unit measuring acceleration values over time; comparing said values with a threshold value, for each wheel unit; if the acceleration values of at least two wheel units exceed said threshold value, then: detecting any movement of said vehicle in a parking garage; and deactivating the remote automatic parking mode.
