    Abstract: This system allows the positioning of a vehicle in a recharging position with respect to a pad of a recharging station, wherein the vehicle carries a shoe gear which, once the vehicle is in the recharging position, is moved to come into contact with the pad. This system comprises: on the ground side, a generation module of a magnetic field, a characteristic quantity of which is a function of the position relative to a reference point of the generation module; and, on the onboard side, a magnetic field measuring module to measure the characteristic quantity and compare it with a reference value, in order to control the movement of the vehicle and stop it at a position relative to the reference point, wherein the relative position corresponds to the recharging position.

    Abstract: The invention relates to a health status assessment method for a transport vehicle automatic or semi-automatic access device comprising at least one leaf suitable for being actuated by a kinematic chain including at least one motor supplied with electricity and having an associated angular position and/or rotation speed encoder and at least one switch. Said method includes steps, for at least one actuating cycle of the kinematic chain between a first and a second position among the open and closed positions and a second position, consisting of: during one said cycle, acquiring information relative to the kinematic chain comprising at least one piece of information representative of the electrical energy consumed by the motor, and/or position and/or speed information provided by said encoder and/or binary information indicating positions of switches, dividing said cycle into a plurality of functional segments based on said acquired information, calculating at least one descriptor value per functional segment, establishing a health status diagnosis comprising a degradation detection as a function of at least part of said calculated descriptor values.

    Abstract: The vehicle including an active suspension system (22) parameterized by a set of adjustment parameters. The railway track is cut into segments. For each segment (T), the method includes campaigns for optimization of the set of parameters, such that: during the first campaign, to each passage of the suspension system (22) on the segment (T), a first set of parameters, specific to this passage, is predefined and applied to the suspension system (22), and a comfort quality index is calculated, and then a metaheuristic algorithm is applied for determining second sets of parameters, and during each following optimization campaign, at each passage of the suspension system over the segment, one of the determined sets of parameters by the previous optimization campaign is applied to the suspension system, and the comfort quality index is calculated, and then the metaheuristic algorithm is applied in order to determine new sets of parameters.
