Abstract: Method for counting the number of persons being at a predefined location before entering a transportation vehicle 1, wherein the method includes the steps of receiving images taken by one or more cameras 2a, 2b mounted at the transportation vehicle 1 and performing for each image processing steps of, wherein the method further comprises track boundary boxes BB of each detected person in all received images and count the number of persons.

Abstract: A smart brake system for adjusting a brake clamping force to be applied to brake pads of a vehicle comprises: an interface for receiving vehicle operation data measured by vehicle sensors, a memory device for storing data about a previous brake event, a current brake event, and a temperature prediction model, and a controller connected to the interface and the memory device. The controller estimates the current temperature of the rotor and adjusts the brake clamping force applied to the brake pads to compensate for the estimated current temperature. The vehicle operation data include current ambient temperature, current brake clamping force and current vehicle speed. The controller is configured to estimate the current temperature of the rotor from the vehicle operation data, the data about a previous brake event, and the data about a current brake event using the temperature prediction model.

Abstract: A railway vehicle has two side walls facing each other to define a passenger compartment and a front end portion, which has two LIDAR devices arranged at the upper side corners of the front end portion; each of the LIDAR devices has a field of view of 360° about its axis, and such axis is oriented with a forward inclination and with a lateral outward inclination.

Abstract: A method and an apparatus are provided for determining brake wear of a vehicle. A brake wear estimation includes determining, for each of one or more time periods during which a vehicle brake is actuated, a speed of the vehicle at a start time of the respective time period and a speed change parameter indicative of a change of speed of the vehicle during the respective time period. The estimation additionally includes determining, for each of the one or more time periods, a respective brake wear parameter indicative of brake wear of one or more vehicle brakes during the respective time period based on the speed of the vehicle at the start time of the respective time period, the speed change parameter indicative of the change of speed of the vehicle during the respective time period, and the mass or weight of the vehicle.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and an apparatus for determining brake wear at a vehicle. According to the present invention, the brake wear estimation includes determining, for each of one or more time periods during which a brake of the vehicle is actuated, a speed of the vehicle at a start time of the respective time period and a speed change parameter indicative of a change of speed of the vehicle during the respective time period; and determining, for each of the one or more time periods, a respective brake wear parameter indicative of brake wear at one or more brakes of the vehicle during the respective time period based on the speed of the vehicle at the start time of the respective time period, the speed change parameter indicative of the change of speed of the vehicle during the respective time period, and the mass or weight of the vehicle.
