Introduction

Niccolò Zingoni is an inventor associated with Bagno a Ripoli, Italy. His patent work addresses the challenge of estimating a railway vehicle’s position as it travels along a railway line.

Latest Patents

Zingoni is associated with 1 patent, titled “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 position signals mapped to a digital map with odometry-based estimates of the maximum and minimum distances travelled. At successive times, the system compares these values with earlier measurements to establish reference positions and determine the forward end of the estimated interval. The approach is designed to support railway vehicle positioning by accounting for both absolute-position signals and accumulated travel distance.
