Railways have already introduced satellite-based localization systems for non-safety related
applications. Driven by economic reasons, the use of these systems for new services and, in …

Advantages of Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) in precise and reliable
localization can be exploited to enable low-cost and train-centric railway train control …

Railway transportation is a cost-effective and reliable mode of transportation. The
construction of an entire railway network is a challenging task that requires careful planning …

The integration of candidate sensors such as a microelectromechanical system-based
inertial measurement unit (MEMS IMU) for localization and navigation has been widely …

Independently on the business case addressed, one of the main drawbacks of the railway
use cases that need continuous Global Navigation Satellite Systems data is the lack of …

The European Union (EU) is bolstering the railway sector with the aim of making it a direct
competitor of the aviation sector. For that to occur, railway efficiency has to be improved by …

In this paper, we propose an adaptive beam that adapts its divergence angle according to
the receiver aperture diameter and the communication distance to improve the received …

The suitability of EGNSS (including EGNOS and Galileo early services) for safety railway
applications has been analysed by several European projects such as Grail, Grail-2, Satloc …

Train positioning method based on the global navigation satellite system (GNSS) is a key
