Proceedings ArticleDOI
Measurement and analysis of train motion and railway track characteristics with inertial sensors
TL;DR: Measurements of train motion with a low-cost inertial measurement unit (IMU) based on micro electro mechanical systems (MEMS) on a network with dense urban railway environment as well as a rural, regional network environment are presented.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
RailSLAM - Localization of rail vehicles and mapping of geometric railway tracks
TL;DR: RailSLAM, implemented as a probabilistic filter, uses measurements from multiple sensors and computes a track map that addresses the creation and maintenance of this special track map by a simultaneous estimation of the Probabilistic geometric-topological feature-rich track map and the train state.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Optimal sampling frequency and bias error modeling for foot-mounted IMUs
TL;DR: A bias model for the UKF is derived and the benefit of applying this model to a set of real data from walk is evaluated and the Allan variance for three different IMU chipsets of various quality specification is computed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bayesian Train Localization with Particle Filter, Loosely Coupled GNSS, IMU, and a Track Map
TL;DR: The nonlinear estimation of the train localization posterior is addressed with a novel Rao-Blackwellized particle filter (RBPF) approach and embedded Kalman filters estimate certain linear state variables while the particle distribution can cope with the nonlinear cases of parallel tracks and switch scenarios.
Proceedings Article
Bayesian train localization method extended by 3D geometric railway track observations from inertial sensors
TL;DR: This paper presents a train localization approach using a particle filter in combination with multiple onboard train sensor measurements and a known track map, and proposes a probabilistic approach with a Bayesian filter.
