DOOR CLOSURE MONITORING SYSTEM
The invention refers to a system for monitoring the position of the doors of a moving car in a cable transportation system, the car comprising two doors and the monitoring system comprising an electronic control unit. The monitoring system comprises a detection target on each door, and a fixed detection device, such as a proximity switch with a field of action, which emits a detection signal when a target passes through the field of action, which is connected to the control unit and is positioned so that it can emit a detection signal when the car passes through a control zone. The control unit determines that the two doors of the car are correctly positioned if the distance between the two doors is less than a predetermined opening threshold.

Vehicle-based device for receiving information from a track-based transmission device
A vehicle-based device for a vehicle, in particular a rail vehicle, includes a receiving device which, when passing a track-based transmission device, is configured for receiving a signal, which is at least also frequency-modulated, from the track-based transmission device. The vehicle-based device includes an evaluation device which is configured for generating a crosstalk warning, namely in accordance with signal levels at different frequencies of the received frequency-modulated transmission signal and/or in accordance with the frequency curve. A vehicle, in particular a rail vehicle, and a method for transmitting at least one piece of information from a track-based transmission device to a passing vehicle, in particular a rail vehicle, are also provided.

Systems and methods for improved operations of ski lifts
Systems and methods for improved operations of ski lifts increase skier safety at on-boarding and off-boarding locations by providing an always-on, always-alert system that “watches” these locations, identifies developing problem situations, and initiates mitigation actions. One or more video cameras feed live video to a video processing module. The video processing module feeds resulting sequences of images to an artificial intelligence (AI) engine. The AI engine makes an inference regarding existence of a potential problem situation based on the sequence of images. This inference is fed to an inference processing module, which determines if the inference processing module should send an alert or interact with the lift motor controller to slow or stop the lift.

Train wheel detection and thermal imaging system
A system that includes a detection device, an imaging device, and a control device is disclosed. The detection device may generate proximity data relating to a proximity of an undercarriage of a rail vehicle, and the imaging device may capture one or more thermal images of the undercarriage. The control device may receive a first thermal image and a second thermal image of the undercarriage. The first thermal image may be captured using a first integration time, and the second thermal image may be captured using a second integration time. The control device may determine composite thermal data associated with the undercarriage. The composite thermal data may include information mapping a first range of thermal data and mapping a second range of thermal data to one or more components of the undercarriage. The control device may cause an action to be performed in connection with the composite thermal data.

Methods Systems Devices Circuits and Functionally Related Machine Executable Instructions for Operational Commands Based Cybersecurity of a transportation Management Network
Disclosed are methods, systems, devices, circuits and functionally related machine executable instructions for cybersecurity of a transportation management network, based on operational commands. A unit policy generation module generates expected behavior policies for transportation management network units—based on the signals/data-streams received by the behavior monitoring server and/or based on data, from one or more resources, indicative of the transportation network's activity. Generated policies are relayed to respective agents associated with the policy-generated/profiled unit. Expected behavior policies of the transportation management network units are based on Railway Signaling to and from systems used to control railway traffic safety and trains collision prevention.
