Discussion

Johannes Gleim Feb 22:
@ Phil In today's standard rail vehicles for passenger transport, there is often a contact strip that initiates a backward movement when closing if there is a person or an object in between. This is independent of whether the door is a sliding door or a folding door. In addition, the closing time and the travelled path can be monitored. The door then attempts to close again. If this fails, the train conductor asks the passengers to release the door or to stop boarding. As a former railwayman, I was often able to observe this.

Whether you record the time as a function of the path or the path as a function of the time is irrelevant. It is only a coordinate transposition (s = f(t) to t = f(s).

Thanks for the input. Maja had the answer I was looking for.
philgoddard Feb 21:
Could it simply mean that the door reopens if there's someone or something obstructing it?
A literal translation works fine, but it would be nice to know exactly what's going on here.
philgoddard Feb 21:
Context Paragraph 0021 here:
http://data.epo.org/publication-server/document?iDocId=56172...
The sensor opens the door in the event of an "ungeplante Verringerrung des Weg/Zeit-Verhältnisses" to prevent injury to people or damage to freight. I don't know what this means.
Arne Krueger Feb 21:
Die Frage ist, wo sich der Sensor befindet. Steht da irgendwas in dem Dokument? Wieder mal Rätselraten auf Proz.com... Mein Vorschlag wäre aber TOF-Sensor.

Thanks. This is what I was looking for.

Ich weiß,was Du meinst; Phil hat mich auch früher darauf hingewiesen. Ich denke aber, es ist nicht ganz verkehrt, sich einer bereits vorhandenen Lösung zu "bedienen", wenn es keine Treffer für den gesuchten Begriff in der Ausgangssprache zu finden sind.

Seitdem ich das sage.
neutral philgoddard : I agree with Birgit. The path is the route it follows, which is always the same. It must mean the distance travelled by the door - if it hasn't covered the right distance in the right time, there must be something blocking it.

path-time sensor

Strange that there are only 5 references for "time-path sensor" on the internet, and most of them are from the German company Bode-Schaltbau.

In fact, the term "path-time diagram" is widely used in control engineering, and each engineer would understand " path-time sensor" as well.

However, the traveled path length and the travelled path time by each algorithm are different.

If the multipath is indeed detectable and resolvable, it is shown here that multipath exploitation, firstly, permits estimating the angle of arrival (AoA) of the target with a single Sensors, and secondly, improves estimation accuracy of the direct path time delay.

Only with this functionality, a system for path time measurement can be configured from several LPR sensors or the LPR data can be integrated into complex overall systems.

Weg-Zeit diagram

I know the term "path-time diagram" from my studies and professional experienes:

Weg-Zeit-Diagramm / path-time diagram
(Budig, Fachwörterbuch Elektrotechnik und Elektronik)

Weg-Zeit-Diagramm (graphische Darstellungsform für Steuerungen, bei denen die Stellung der Aktoren in Abhängigkeit von der Zeit dargestellt wird, Regeln / path-time diagram
(Kučera, Dictionary of Exact Science and Technology)

A path-time diagram is a graphical depiction of the path s covered by a moving body over time t. The pitch (ds/dt) of the line corresponds to the speed v of the body at any one time.

All components that are to be projected as well as a standardised delineation of the processes of the machine in the form of a path-time diagram, a network plan (operation chart) and also state graphs are derived from the description of the functionality of the machine through relevant program libraries.

Aus der Beschreibung der Maschinenfunktionalität werden mittels entsprechender Programmbibliotheken sämtliche zu projektierenden Komponenten sowie eine genormte Darstellung der Maschinenabläufe in Form eines Zeit­Weg­Diagramms, eines Netzplanes (Ablaufplanes) sowie von Zustandsgraphen abgeleitet.

This algorithm relies on the path-time diagram to check and adapt the candidate trajectories in order to avoid potential collisions and ensure safety margins.
