First Claim
Patent Images
1. A system for determining a location of a vehicle relative to a stopping point, the system comprising:
- a vehicle of an underground transportation system; and
a user interface device comprising a memory device storing a computer program with executable instructions, the computer program comprising first executable instructions to detect a vehicle brake application of the vehicle and second executable instructions to detect audio data emitted by the vehicle, the first and second executable instructions being performed to determine a location of the vehicle relative to a designated stopping point of the vehicle, wherein the user interface device comprises at least one accelerometer for acquiring acceleration data of the vehicle, the first executable instruction comprising a first algorithm adapted to collect and store the acceleration data of the vehicle.

7. A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising computer instructions capable of being executed in a processor and performing a method for determining a location of a vehicle relative to a station, the method comprising:
-
receiving input travel data including an end route station of a selected route provided by a user; collecting acceleration data of a vehicle; detecting a vehicle brake application of the vehicle based on collected acceleration data; detecting audio data emitted by the vehicle, determining that the vehicle is located at a route station based on a detected brake application and detected audio data and updating a station counter; comparing the route station to the end route station based on the station counter; and generating an alarm when the route station corresponds to the end route station for notifying the user of the end route station. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10)
