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.

Method and system for managing specific events related to the movements of a guided vehicle

A method and system secure remote video transmissions for the remote control of a vehicle. The system secures the remote transmission of an image via a photosensitive receiver of a camera capable of remotely displaying the image. The system contains an optical securing information generator capable of generating optical securing information and an optical module capable of optically superimposing a securing image including the optical securing information and the image of the object to form a secured optical image for acting on the photosensitive receiver capable of generating a video signal. The system couples a device for remotely receiving the video signal from the video system to a device for processing the video signal. The video signal processing device is capable of detecting, reading and extracting optical securing information in the video signal of the secured optical image. The system has a display device for displaying the optical securing information.

A method and a system determine track availability. The system is configured to be fitted to a guided vehicle liable to move downstream on a track. The system contains at least one camera able to capture images of a downstream section of track. The downstream section being a track portion extending from a first point of the track located downstream of the guided vehicle to a second point of the track located downstream of the guided vehicle. The distance separating the camera from the second point is being greater than the distance separating it from the first point. At least one image processing and analysis device is provided and is able to analyze each image taken by each camera, to locate the downstream section therein, to determine first a downstream safety distance, and second an availability state of the track between the first point and the second point.

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.
