  • Publication number: 20250137208
    Abstract: The present application describes a bridge sliding device and construction system. The device includes a slide rail assembly, a first sliding component on the rail, and a second sliding component on the first. The second component locks at the start of the first, and the bridge deck truss's weight causes the first component's end to tilt slightly, allowing it to easily cross the junction between the temporary support platform and the bridge pier. This facilitates the smooth crossing of both the first and second components over the junction. Once the first sliding component is in place, the second component unlocks and continues sliding, increasing the travel distance of the bridge deck truss. The system ensures smoother movement of the components, enhancing construction efficiency.

  • Publication number: 20250139807
    Abstract: A system for detecting sensor position change (DCPC) on movable vehicle components includes two or more sensors on at least one of the movable vehicle components. The sensors detect optical information within a distinct field of view (FOV) about an environment surrounding the vehicle. The distinct FOV of each sensor at least partially overlaps with an FOV of at least one other sensor. The system includes controllers that execute an application for DCPC. The DCPC application acquires overlapping optical information from the sensors, computes a conditional correspondence probability distribution for feature points in the overlapping optical information, computes a normalized joint entropy of the feature points, determines that the sensor is in a position manageable by the DCPC, continuously monitors positions of each of the sensors, selectively dynamically aligns the sensors, and ensures that the sensors are calibrated for vehicle perception tasks including advanced driver assistance system (ADAS) functions.
