Abstract
We consider the planar random motion of a particle that moves with constant finite speedcand, at Poisson-distributed times, changes its directionθwith uniform law in [0, 2π). This model represents the natural two-dimensional counterpart of the well-known Goldstein–Kac telegraph process. For the particle's position (X(t),Y(t)),t> 0, we obtain the explicit conditional distribution when the number of changes of direction is fixed. From this, we derive the explicit probability lawf(x,y,t) of (X(t),Y(t)) and show that the densityp(x,y,t) of its absolutely continuous component is the fundamental solution to the planar wave equation with damping. We also show that, under the usual Kac condition on the velocitycand the intensity λ of the Poisson process, the densityptends to the transition density of planar Brownian motion. Some discussions concerning the probabilistic structure of wave diffusion with damping are presented and some applications of the model are sketched.

Abstract
We consider the planar random motion of a particle that moves with constant finite speed c and, at Poisson-distributed times, changes its direction θ with uniform law in [0, 2π). This model represents the natural two-dimensional counterpart of the well-known Goldstein–Kac telegraph process. For the particle's position (X(t), Y(t)), t > 0, we obtain the explicit conditional distribution when the number of changes of direction is fixed. From this, we derive the explicit probability law f(x, y, t) of (X(t), Y(t)) and show that the density p(x, y, t) of its absolutely continuous component is the fundamental solution to the planar wave equation with damping. We also show that, under the usual Kac condition on the velocity c and the intensity λ of the Poisson process, the density p tends to the transition density of planar Brownian motion. Some discussions concerning the probabilistic structure of wave diffusion with damping are presented and some applications of the model are sketched.

Abstract
In this paper we study a planar random motion (X(t), Y(t)), t>0, with orthogonal directions taken cyclically at Poisson paced times. The process is split into one-dimensional motions with alternating displacements interrupted by exponentially distributed stops. The distributions of X
= X(t) (conditional and nonconditional) are obtained by means of order statistics and the connection with the telegrapher's process is derived and discussed. We are able to prove that the distributions involved in our analysis are solutions of a certain differential system and of the related fourth-order hyperbolic equation.
