Patent number: 12152548Abstract: A system detects a parameter and generates a first trip plan to automatically control the vehicle according to a first trip plan. A controller is connected to a sensor and configured to receive the parameter. The controller is configured to generate a new trip plan or modify the first trip plan into a modified trip plan based on at least one of a cumulative damage or an end of life date. A new trip plan or the modified trip plan is configured, during operation of the vehicle according to the new trip plan or the modified trip plan, for at least one of an adjustment in velocity or avoiding one or more operating conditions of the vehicle, relative to the first trip plan.Type: GrantFiled: October 21, 2021Date of Patent: November 26, 2024Assignee: Transportation IP Holdings, LLCInventors: Cesar Domingos, Shawn Gallagher, Raghav Shrikant Kulkarni, Vinaykanth V Mudiam, Neil Xavier Blythe, Daniel Loringer, Pedro Lopes, Vinayak Tilak, James Robert Mischler, Patricia Sue Lacy, Michael Majewski, Pradheepram Ottikkutti

Publication number: 20170036859Abstract: An evolving mobile Unit for controlled product storage and dispensing, with modular construction and multiple upgrade possibilities, to the capacity and storing/picking system that can evolve from manual, up to fully automatic operation. The Unit is easy to transport and maneuver, by crane or forklift, using the provided pick up points (6) and pockets (7), either in standard or heavy duty/all-weather form. The Unit can be autonomous, with an integrated power unit (49) and internal climate control (19). The products are stored inside, within Unit Loads (UL) (8) that can hold any kind of materials, either solid or liquid, at ambient or controlled temperature and humidity. The ULs are stored in a modular shelving system (9), adjustable to accommodate mixes of UL sizes. Access control is provided by lock (11), drawer (16) and software systems together with a picking/replenishment method.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 22, 2015Publication date: February 9, 2017Inventor: Pedro LOPES RIBEIRO
