Definitions

  • the present invention concerns a system for managing an automatic opening of first doors of a vehicle and second doors of a platform at which side said vehicle is approaching, in particular in public transport, according to claim 1.
  • the present invention relates generally to a secure automatically opening of swing doors that permits a flow of passengers and/or merchandise entering and leaving a vehicle from or onto a platform, said vehicle being for example a public transportation, a distribution chain or a lift.
  • Especially some recent automatic door opening systems includes two sets of automatic swing doors, a first set on board of the vehicle and a second set on a platform at the wayside of said vehicle like in a train station. If the vehicle is approaching and stops at the platform, an exact positioning of both sets of swing doors is major in order to ensure to avoid a risk for passenger to be blocked or even injured. As well a not exact positioning of both sets of doors in front of each other will reduce the flow of passenger entering and leaving the vehicle, giving rise for example to a general public transport delay and to network congestions.
  • This objective is achieved according to the present invention with respect to a system for managing an opening for a first and a second sets of automatically doors, the first set belonging to a vehicle and the second set belonging to a platform at the wayside of the vehicle (by approaching a platform at wayside), both sets of doors having to be positioned exactly in front of each others before a command of opening them is validated, characterized in that :
  • a preferred system is very simple to realize in that the pattern comprises a transparency area with opaque boarders whose length is maximally equal to a width of a glass window of a door and whose width is at least equal to a portion of height of said glass window.
  • Such a pattern can be e.g. realized by means of a rectangular sticker along the whole top of each of the windows, said sticker including a hollow transparency area.
  • the pattern comprises a transparency area with opaque boarders whose height is maximally equal to a height of a glass window of a door and whose width is at least equal to a portion of width of said glass window.
  • a pattern can be e.g. realized by means of a rectangular sticker along the (whole) lateral side of each of the windows, said sticker including a hollow transparency area.
  • the system according to the invention can comprise that at least one of the pattern comprises a light coded transparency area.
  • the amount of transmitted light over two patterns that move in front of each other can be coded so that one or more peaks of light are measured during the slow approach of vehicle at the platform and provides an information on the time/location to stop the vehicle exactly at a required position for both set of doors.
  • the unit of measurement of system comprises a line or an array light sensor, like a video camera, ideally located at the wayside or between the two sets of doors.
  • the unit of measurement is located at a place where noisy lighting and even shadowing are minimized/eliminated so that only the light being transmitted over both pattern can be measured.
  • the system according to the invention can include a lighting mean which is located closed to patterns for illuminating sufficiently all transparency area of said pattern and ensuring a sufficient amount of light to be measured by the unit of measurement.
  • a lighting mean which is located closed to patterns for illuminating sufficiently all transparency area of said pattern and ensuring a sufficient amount of light to be measured by the unit of measurement.
  • Such an illuminating can be a simple array of diodes which provides enough lighting to image the alignment relative to the second pattern to be superposed on the first one. It is also possible to provide a first pattern with lighting means at the location of its usual transparency areas and the second pattern to be aligned in front of the first pattern provides only transparency parts which are free of lighting means.
  • the accuracy of the system according to the invention can be also improved in that it comprises a mean of pattern recognition with an input to an output signal of the unit of measurement and with an output delivering the trigger signal to a control unit for commanding a stop at a defined relative position between the vehicle and the platform and enabling an opening of the sets of doors.
  • a mean of pattern recognition with an input to an output signal of the unit of measurement and with an output delivering the trigger signal to a control unit for commanding a stop at a defined relative position between the vehicle and the platform and enabling an opening of the sets of doors.
  • Figure 1 shows a system according to the invention for managing an opening for a first and a second sets of automatically doors, the first set (DO1, DO2) belonging to a vehicle (V) - which approaches a platform of a rail station - and the second set belonging to the platform at the wayside (WS) of the vehicle, both sets of doors having to be positioned exactly in front of each others before a command of opening them is validated, characterized in that :
  • both sets of doors are exactly aligned in front of each others.
  • a left door of the first set (DO1) comprise a horizontal pattern at the top of their corresponding glass windows and which provides a rectangular transparency hollow region with dark boarders along the width of each window.
  • Only one door (right side) of the second set (DO2) at the wayside comprises a similar pattern so that after a first door of first set has moved before the right door of the second set, a first peak of transmitted light over the patterns is achieved and determines that the vehicle has to be stopped after a path equal to the width of one door.
  • the pattern of the first set e.g. on right side
  • the amount of light decreases so that the previous peak of light is easier to localize to order a next stop of the vehicle over a know length.
  • Figure 2 is a basically an alternative form of configurating two so called vertical patterns (TP1, TP3) for aligning the respective doors (DO1a, D02a) of each set.
  • the patterns comprise a transparency area with opaque boarders whose height is maximally equal to a height of a glass window of a door and whose width is at least equal to a portion of width of said glass window.
  • This alternative as well as the one of figure 1 presents the main advantage that these patterns at the boarders of windows can be imaged under minimal perturbations (e.g. from passenger in front of windows) and the unit of measurement of the amount of light can be located between the doors or at the top of the rail station on wayside.
  • Figure 3 presents alternative patterns with specific coded light transmission properties. Said coding of patterns which are moving relative to each others as the vehicle approaches the platform has to be so chosen in order to predict/trigger when or where the vehicle will be stopped.
  • the patterns TP1 on-board & TP3 wayside
  • opaque and transparency regions including e.g. here positive and negative triangle formed masks
  • the present invention does not limit its scope to the presented coded patterns: many geometrical opaque/transparent masks are possible so that the measured amount of transmitted light (or the apparent transparent region) provides a trigger signal for informing on when and where the vehicle has to stop.
  • Figure 4 presents a system according to the invention with a first pattern (TP1, on-board) composed by a plurality of optical diodes that are arranged along the transport direction of the vehicle.
  • the array of diodes is a lighting mean that is located closed to the first pattern (on-board) for illuminating transparency areas of said second pattern (TP3, wayside) and ensuring a sufficient amount of light to be measured by the unit of measurement.
  • the distances between at least some of the diodes can be chosen non-linear so that a specific coding of transmitted spots is enabled in order to detect a trigger signal providing the related information on when/where the vehicle has to stop.
  • Figure 5 presents a system according to the ones of figure 1 to 4 providing patterns (here with a new mask coded patterns comprising opaque and transparent regions) which overlap during the approach of the vehicle at the platform of wayside.
  • a camera as unit of measurement of the amount of light transmitted from the vehicle to the wayside though both on-board and wayside patterns (TP1, TP3) is imaging the field of the second pattern (TP3).
  • the camera collects intensity values at a frequency higher so that a plurality of said intensity values can be measured as a profile during the approach of the vehicle and the overlapping of the patterns.
  • said intensity profile presents sequentially a first high intensity level, a decreasing portion and an increasing portion of intensity and then finally the first intensity level again. It is hence possible to brake the vehicle during the decreasing/increasing portions and to trigger the stop signal as the first intensity level is achieved again.
  • Figure 5 presents another advantageous feature which could be implemented on all other figures and systems according to the invention.
  • the system according to the invention may comprise a mean of pattern recognition (REC) with an input to an output signal of the unit of measurement (here the camera CAM) and with an output delivering the trigger signal (STOP) to a control unit (CT) for commanding a stop at a defined relative position between the vehicle and the platform and enabling an opening of the sets of doors.
  • REC mean of pattern recognition
  • STOP trigger signal
  • CT control unit
  • pattern recognition with combined transmitted light or not such pattern can provide other characteristics than opaque/transparency ones.
  • the first pattern TP1 can comprise some bright regions or some diodes like in figure 4 whose moving locations are accurately recognized in a region of interest of the camera.
  • the second pattern TP3 can only comprise transparent and opaque mask regions.
