  • Method for measuring a distance from a vehicle to a platform
    Patent number: 12072418
    Abstract: A method for measuring a given distance between a vehicle and an upper surface of a platform includes projecting two or more beams by a detection system mounted on the vehicle. The beams lie in a single plane of projection towards the platform. For each beam, a distance is measured between the detection system and the platform along a respective direction of the beam. The measured distances not corresponding to the upper surface are excluded. A vertical distance between a vehicle marker and the upper surface of the platform is calculated from the distances that are not excluded.
