Latest Patents

The supplied information lists one patent for Lucidi: “Method and system for estimating the position of a railway vehicle travelling along a railway line, and railway vehicle comprising such system.” The invention calculates a location interval by combining absolute-position signals mapped to a digital railway map with odometry-based estimates of distance travelled. At successive times, the system determines maximum and minimum positions and distances. It then uses changes in those distance estimates to update reference positions, helping establish the forward end of the vehicle’s estimated location interval. Lucidi is credited with 1 patent.
