Magnetic field localization utilizes position dependent and time persistent distortions of the
earth magnetic field. These distortions are introduced by stationary ferromagnetic material in …

In this paper a train localization method is proposed that uses local variations of the earth
magnetic field to determine the topological position of a train in a track network. The …

Precise localisation of rail vehicles is a key element towards the development and
deployment of novel train control systems. Localisation of trains can be considered as a 1-D …

In this paper, we present a method to generate compact geometric track-maps for train-
borne localization applications. Therefore, we first give a brief overview on the purpose of …

Train localization is a key technology for automating railway traffic and using the railway
infrastructure efficiently. Localization must be available independent from the environment …

Railways are the safest and most energy-efficient means of land transportation.
Unfortunately, they are less attractive than other transportation means due to the relatively …

For the automation of railway systems, a crucial requirement is a reliable localization system
that is able to localize all trains in the track network. While in most parts of the track network …

In this paper we analyse the effect of activated magnetic track brakes on the ferromagnetic
environment and the so-called magnetic signatures, which are location dependent …

In this paper, the theoretically achievable accuracy of magnetic field-based localization in
railway environments is analyzed. The analysis is based on the Bayesian Cramér-Rao lower …

In this paper, we show how to analyze the achievable position accuracy of magnetic
localization based on Bayesian Cramér-Rao lower bounds and how to account for …
