Case History | Industrial Patents for Companies
Industrial Patent for P.A.L. Italia Srl
Sector:
Railway and tramway transport technologies
Client:
P.A.L. Italia Srl (https://www.palitalia.net/)
Invention Description
A device for detecting the transit of an electric vehicle on railway/tramway networks through the interaction between pantograph and overhead electrified line, capable of self-powering via an integrated dynamo and transmitting detection signals via radio frequency.
Problem Addressed
In railway and tramway transport, rails must be lubricated to minimize friction between them and the vehicle wheels. Lubrication frequency depends on transit frequency, and current systems require wired sensors, complicating installation.
Invention Advantages
The device activates only when a vehicle passes, self-powering through contact between the pantograph and the electrified line. It requires no power or transmission cables, making it easy to install and precise in detection.
