  • Publication number: 20230076273
    Abstract: An obstacle detection device includes: a sensor unit including a camera, a laser distance measuring device, and an optical element, and setting optical axes of the camera and the laser distance measuring device to an optical axis in the same direction using the optical element; a monitoring area control unit calculating a monitoring area to be monitored by the sensor unit using a position of a train, map information indicating a position of a track of the train, and an attitude angle of the train, and performing control to cause a direction of the optical axis of the sensor unit to be on a course of the train using a drive mirror; and an obstacle determination unit detecting an obstacle on the course of the train based on monitoring results of the camera and the laser distance measuring device, and determining whether a collision avoidance action is necessary.

  • Patent number: 11486906
    Abstract: The voltage measuring device includes: a light source; a polarizer polarizing light emitted from the light source; a grounded conductor provided apart from a high-voltage conductor; a crystal end face electrode being out of contact with the grounded conductor and the high-voltage conductor; a Pockels cell transmitting light from the polarizer; an analyzer transmitting light reflected by the Pockels cell; a photodetector detecting light emitted from the analyzer; an intra-crystal electric field measurement unit converting voltage output by the photodetector into intra-crystal electric field; a bias electrode being out of contact with the crystal end face electrode; a bias supply; a bias supply control unit controlling the bias supply to keep internal electric field of the Pockels cell at zero; and a measurement voltage calculation unit obtaining voltage of the high-voltage conductor based on results output by the intra-crystal electric field measurement unit and the bias supply control unit.
