  • Electronic job aid system for operator of a vehicle system
    Patent number: 11780483
    Abstract: A job aid system and method determine conditions in which a vehicle system is operating or will operate during movement of the vehicle system along one or more routes. A context-sensitive action checklist is selected or generated based on one or more of the conditions. Input from the operator of the vehicle system is received in response to one or more action items in the context-sensitive action checklist that is presented to the operator. An alertness level of the operator is determined based on the input that is received from the operator. One or more alerting actions can be implemented to increase the alertness level of the operator.

  • ROBOTIC SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CONTROL AND MANIPULATION
    Publication number: 20200039076
    Abstract: A robotic system is provided that includes a base, an articulable arm, a visual acquisition unit, and a controller. The articulable arm may extend from a base and is movable toward a target. The visual acquisition unit can be mounted to the arm or the base and to acquire image data. The controller is operably coupled to the arm and the visual acquisition unit, and can derive from the image data environmental information corresponding to at least one of the arm or the target. The controller further can generate at least one planning scheme using the environmental information to translate the arm toward the target, select at least one planning scheme for implementation, and control movement of the arm toward the target using the at least one selected planning scheme.

  • AERIAL CAMERA SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR IDENTIFYING ROUTE-RELATED HAZARDS
    Publication number: 20170255824
    Abstract: A system (e.g., an off-board camera system) includes a camera and a communication device. The camera is configured to be disposed on an off-board device remotely located from a non-aerial vehicle as the non-aerial vehicle moves along a route. The camera is configured to generate image data representative of an upcoming segment of the route relative to a direction of travel of the non-aerial vehicle. The communication device is configured to be disposed on the off-board device and to wirelessly communicate the image data to the non-aerial vehicle during movement of the non-aerial vehicle along the route.
