Apparatus And Method For Improving The Safety Of Railroad Systems
view source
US Patent:

6373403, Apr 16, 2002
Filed:

Nov 5, 1999
Appl. No.:

09/434246
Inventors:

Kelvin Korver - Adams NE 68301
Wesley Hawkinson - Chanhassen MN 55317
Donovan Boedigheimer - Coon Rapids MN 55433
International Classification:

G08G 123
US Classification:

340988, 340933, 34082549, 701 19, 701205, 701207, 246120, 246121
Abstract:

An apparatus and method for improving the safety of railroad systems of the present invention includes a system for navigating a railroad vehicle over railroad tracks. An attitude sensor is used to dynamically sense the attitude of the railroad vehicle as it travels over a set of railroad tracks. By sensing the attitude of the railroad vehicle, a determination of the condition of the railroad tracks can be made. The apparatus also sensed the position of the railroad vehicle in real time to correlate the sensed attitude with a precise position along the railroad tracks. The navigation system is capable of determining a highly accurate position of the vehicle in real time. The position of the vehicle is also used to navigate the railroad vehicle.

System, Apparatus And Method For Testing Navigation Or Guidance Equipment

US Patent:

6697752, Feb 24, 2004
Filed:

May 19, 2000
Appl. No.:

09/574777
Inventors:

Kelvin M. Korver - Adams NE
Mauro Giacomet - Porto Alegre RS, BR
Lanny E. Boswell - Lincoln NE
Assignee:

KL Technologies, Inc. - Adams NE
International Classification:

G01F 1900
US Classification:

702116, 702122
Abstract:

A test facility where geographic location, orientation, elevation, distance, attitude and altitude are known for every point provides a user with a way to test the accuracy and sensitivity of navigation or positioning equipment. The facility is formed by elevating a test track on a series of piers. The test track may curve, tilt, or spiral under itself. Further, the test track may proceed in known directions to allow easy verification of test vehicle parameters. In operation, a test vehicle moves around the test facility. On board the test vehicle, navigation or positioning equipment measures the parameters of the test vehicle. These measured parameters are then compared with known parameters. This allows a user to test the claimed accuracy or sensitivity of the equipment used.

Navigation/Guidance System For A Land-Based Vehicle

US Patent:

59283092, Jul 27, 1999
Filed:

Feb 5, 1996
Appl. No.:

8/596957
Inventors:

Kelvin Korver - Adams NE
Wesley Hawkinson - Chanhassen MN
Donovan Boedigheimer - Coon Rapids MN
International Classification:

G01C 2100
US Classification:

701214
Abstract:

A navigation/guidance system uses a dead reckoning navigator with periodic GPS fixes to correct the drift of the inertial system. The navigation system primarily uses speed sensed by Doppler radar and attitude and heading sensed by a set of gyros. The navigation system uses various processes to compensate for any sensor errors. The system uses attitude data to compensate for GPS leverarm errors. The system can be used on a land-based vehicle to economically and accurately provide navigation data.
