Abstract: A method and a system manage a specific event related to the movement of a guided vehicle. The system for managing a specific event includes a remote control module and a remote control station for remotely controlling the guided vehicle upon a command, to the remote control module from the remote control station, to switch from a normal driving mode to a remote driving mode.

Abstract: A method is provided for communicating at least one item of information between a first control unit on-board a first vehicle and a public transport network. The information is sent as a command from the first control unit to a first communication unit on board the first vehicle. The first communication unit establishes a transmission link outside the vehicle with a second communication unit connected to a module for executing the command. The second communication unit and the execution module are located on the ground. The first control unit controls the execution module on the ground in a governed slave mode for the command by a master mode of the first control unit.

Abstract: A method of adjusting the power absorbed by at least one vehicle powered by at least one electrical energy storage unit and one electrical network on the ground providing the vehicle with at least one inrush current necessary for starting up the vehicle, includes adjusting the inrush current, before and at least during the starting-up of the vehicle, to a constant mean value and keeping variations of the inrush current around the mean value to a minimum by controlling at least one variable supply of compensating energy from the energy storage unit of the vehicle. A computer for implementing the method is also provided.

Abstract: A system provides active lane-changing assistance for a motor vehicle to facilitate a lane-changing maneuver from an initial position on a first lane to a final position on a second lane. The system contains a localization device for determining the initial position and transmitting the initial position to a controller. The system has an obstacle detection system for determining a relative position of another vehicle relative to the vehicle and transmitting the relative position of the other vehicle to the controller. The controller determines the final position from the initial position and contains a device for generating a virtual clone capable of creating a virtual clone of the vehicle configured to permit localization of the virtual clone in the final position.

Abstract: An apparatus automatically closes and opens a door in a frame. The door is controlled by a controller providing a safety mode for retaining the door in an open state and, if need be, a door reopening mode if an obstacle blocks the closure of the door. A camera having a vision axis intersecting a plane of the frame, provides an image of a space divided by the plane of the frame. An image analysis unit isolates the regions of interest of an obstacle in the space. A calculator extracts a geometrical characteristic of each region of interest, for classifying the same into a closest category of different safety scenarios of known characteristics, and for outputting, to the controller, a safety signal which activates the safety mode and which is dependent on the evaluation of a safety alarm value calculated by a formula, in accordance with the category.

The controller determines the final position from the initial position and contains a device for generating a virtual clone capable of creating a virtual clone of the vehicle and simulating by the virtual clone the presence of a dummy real vehicle in the final position by generating a localization datum of the virtual clone of the vehicle configured to permit localization of the virtual clone in the final position.

Abstract: A method of communicating at least one piece of information between a first control unit on-board a first vehicle and a public transport network. The information is sent by the first control unit in the form of a command that is transferred to a first communication unit on board the first vehicle. The first communication unit establishes a transmission link outside the vehicle with a second communication unit linked to a module for executing the command. The second communication unit and the execution module are located either on the ground or on board a second vehicle that has a second control unit. In the event of a transmission to the second communication unit on the ground, the execution module on the ground is controlled in a governed slave mode for the command by a master mode of the first control unit.

Abstract: A device for measuring the movement of a self-guiding vehicle, that has an enhanced measuring reliability, in particular during an adhesion loss and independently from the travel profile of the vehicle in terms of slope, turn and slant. To this end, the device for measuring the movement of a self-guiding vehicle includes on board thereof two accelerometers coupled to a movement calculator, wherein each accelerometer includes two measurement axes on which are measured projections of a vehicle acceleration resultant. The four measurement axes of the accelerometers are adjusted so that the calculator provides, from the four projection measures, at least one very accurate longitudinal acceleration value of the vehicle at each point of a route including both slopes and turns.
