Abstract: A device (9) for determining a speed of a rail-based vehicle with wheels on a predetermined network of routes includes an interface (8) for collecting one-dimensional or multi-dimensional vibration data (5) corresponding to vibrations of at least one wheel acting on the rail-based vehicle as an acceleration of the rail-based vehicle. The vibrations are detectable using at least one wireless sensor (2a, 2b, 2c, 2d) arranged proximate the at least one wheel. A learning module is configured to apply a trained machine-learned model to the vibration data to determine a ground speed. The trained machine-learned model is trained based on a distance traveled and a ground truth speed (17) and a corresponding portion of the vibration data (5).

Abstract: A device (9, 9a) for estimating a current wheel diameter of a wheel of a rail-based vehicle on a predetermined network of routes includes an interface (8) for collecting vibration data (5) of at least one wheel acting on the rail-based vehicle as an acceleration of the rail-based vehicle. The vibrations detectable using at least one wireless sensor (2a, 2b, 2c, 2d) arranged proximate the at least one wheel. A computing unit is configured for generating a predicted speed on the basis of the vibration data (5). A comparator unit is configured for estimating a wheel diameter based on differences between the predicted speed and an identified, corresponding ground truth speed (17).

Abstract: An agricultural machine is coupled to a tractor vehicle and includes a work unit connected to a chassis relative to which the work unit can be moved, the machine being able to take up a work configuration and a transport configuration. The machine includes a lightening device having a lightening cylinder connected to the chassis by a flexible compression tie-rod on one side and to the work unit at a front articulation on the other side, the lightening cylinder being able to transfer, in the work configuration, some of the weight of the work unit onto the chassis, the flexible compression tie-rod being attached with the lightening cylinder at an anchoring point and with the chassis at a fastening point, a deflection system making it possible to move the lightening cylinder by pivoting the anchoring point about the front articulation so as to move it away from the midplane.
