Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2016012106A1] The present invention concerns a system (1) and a method for locating the center of a beacon (4) installed along a guided vehicle route, the system (1) comprising: - an emitter (11) configured for remotely powering the beacon; - a receiver comprising a first receiving loop (12) and a second receiving loop (13) for picking up an electromagnetic signal produced by the beacon (4) and delivering to a processing unit (14) respectively a first signal (S1) and a second signal (S2); - the processing unit (14) capable of processing the first and second signals (S1, S2); the system (1) according to the invention being characterized in that the first receiving loop (12) and the second receiving loop (13) are configured for delivering signals (S1), (S2) which are temporally shifted when receiving the electromagnetic signal produced by the beacon (4)and the processing unit (14) is configured for calculating the time T at which the receiver passes the center of the beacon (4) from the amplitude of the first signal (S1) and the amplitude of the second signal (S2).
