EGNOS-based Reactive Locator for the European Train Control System
نویسنده
چکیده
It is generally believed that exploitation of Global Satellite Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) together with advanced mobile communications for signalling and train control will significantly improve safety and efficiency of railway operations. This is especially true for signalling solutions on low traffic lines and also on some long heavy haul lines where previously planned implementations of the European Train Control System (ETCS) with track balises have appeared as economically unrealistic. Moreover, there are currently visions that ETCS solutions based on GNSS will be installed on main corridor and high-speed lines as well.

Efficient use of multi-constellation EGNOS for the European Train Control System
Exploitation of GPS based EGNOS and Galileo for safe train position determination within the modernised European Train Control System (ETCS) belongs currently among main priorities of the European joint GNSS and rail R&D. It is obvious that only the effective use of the aviation EGNOS SoL service according to CENELEC railway safety standards has the potential to replace costly ETCS track-side b...

The European Rail Train Management System (ERTMS) developed by the European industry represents a de-facto standard widely accepted in the world for signaling and speed-control applications. Whilst ERTMS has demonstrated its advantages as a cost-efficient train control system for high-speed lines and main corridors, the next challenge is to fulfill the emerging demand of low traffic lines for w...
متن کاملDevelopment of the EGNOS Pseudolite System
In order to access the Satellite Based Augmentation System (SBAS) service, the end user needs to have a direct line of sight to at least one of the Geostationary Earth Orbit (GEO) satellites transmitting the augmentation messages. This requirement is critical for users in environments such as city canyons, valleys and fjords since high buildings and mountains in the vicinity of the end user can...
