Patent GB-2590730-A (GB)
Title: Automatically tracking a trajectory of a vehicle
Inventor: Ran Katzir
IPC: G08G1/042
Filed: 2020-01-03
Abstract: A vehicle trajectory 380 is tracked automatically by receiving multiple feature vectors transmitted from multiple stationary sensors (e.g. road studs 305) installed along a road. The feature vectors relate to multiple vehicles 340, 360, 376, 377 in a detection range of the sensors. A sub-group of the feature vectors is clustered to a monitored vehicle based on a predetermined driving model. A trajectory of the monitored vehicle is tracked by determining vehicle parameters, calculating its next expected location, receiving a feature vector and matching it to the monitored vehicle. The sensors may be magnetic, vibration, acoustic or light sensors or radar and the feature vectors may comprise sensor measurements. Feature vectors may be clustered if they are less than a predetermined distance apart. The parameters may be a vehicle position, speed or acceleration rate. The trajectory (e.g. relative to lanes 310-330) may be used to identify a driving pattern of the monitored vehicle and determine whether it complies with rules or determine a toll (440, Fig.4).

Title: Power generation control with an energy storage system
Inventor: ANDREW DEAKIN
IPC: H02J15/00
Filed: 2020-07-27
Abstract: A generating system comprises an AC generator 2, a controller, and an energy storage subsystem (ESS) 8 having a rotating flywheel 10 connected to an electric machine 12 which converts flywheel rotation into electrical energy and vice versa. The controller causes the ESS to transfer energy to or from the generator via the electric machine to maintain a target speed (state of charge) of the flywheel as the load on the system varies over time. A microgrid 6 is connected to the output of the generator and electric machine. In an alternative embodiment, the controller synchronizes the motor and flywheel frequency with the generator during a start-up phase using a regenerative drive 14; after synchronization, the drive is bypassed to connect the output of the electric machine directly to the generator. The controller may monitor the frequency and/or output voltage of the generator and feeds in or extracts power from the ESS to counteract frequency and/or voltage errors due to transient load demands on the generator. The generator and ESS may be interconnected via a DC bus; the controller may monitor the DC power or bus voltage and transfer power to/from the ESS to counteract power or voltage errors on the bus.
