Element 2 - Competitiveness in PNT

Currently train location is guaranteed by track circuits (short cut made by the axles of bogies), or still by counting of axles (counting in the input-output wheel number from the segment), more recently by beacons RFID. These trackside elements require the installation of cables (formerly cupper or newly optical fiber) all along the tracks. It is costly and thus might not be accurate and flexible…

The proposed project aims to develop an odometry and localization system leveraging Sensrad’s imaging radar technology – Hugin D1. By exploiting the rich spatial and Doppler information inherent in Sensrad’s imaging radar, the system will provide highly accurate positioning with increased redundancy, particularly in challenging environments where GNSS signals are unreliable or unavailable. The…

The activity develops and validates an AI-enhanced GNSS integrity monitoring layer for safety-critical positioning applications. The solution combines high-accuracy GNSS correction services, RTK positioning, protection-level estimation and machine-learning based anomaly detection to assess whether a position solution can be trusted in real time. By monitoring correction quality, receiver…
