1. Railway Demonstration

2. 2 Low-Density Traffic Lines * n Single track, few trains/day –High safety requirements –High installation and maintenance costs n Customer requirements –Increase line capacity –Reduce trackside equipment –Limit on-board sensors –Increase train autonomy –Cost-effective & safe solution

3. 3  High Safety level is required:  Probability of wrong train position must be lower than 10 -10 to 10 -12 per hour  High Availability of measurements is required:  Several satellites must be visible at any time It’s a guided transport :  3D problem can be reduced to 1D problem It’s a guided transport :  3D problem can be reduced to 1D problem Positioning in line-based mode:  Relaxed position accuracy, track separation not needed Positioning in line-based mode:  Relaxed position accuracy, track separation not needed Application characteristics

4. 4 GNSS RECEIVER DIGITAL MAP route description 1D POSITION CALCULATION Fail safe Train position computing Route information "INTERLOCKING" « Train detection » Train location & Confidence interval Train speed & Confidence interval Train direction Positioning method

5. 5 System tests objectives n Belgian test track: –Satellite positioning validation –Satellite communication evaluation n French test track: –Signalling system application –Workers protection

6. 6 Project consortium

7. 7 Live Demonstration n Held near Brussels, Belgium n Registration required n Who should attend? –International transport authorities –Railway operators –International railway and public transport organizations –Railway signaling manufacturers –Satellite System Integrators n More info: www.locoprol.org
