GNSS opportunities in Rail

European GNSS Applications in H2020

Current status of the EGNSS adoption in Rail
GNSS systems are mainly used for non safety critical applications
Compared to other industries, the railways have been slow to adopt GNSS
technology, this is in part due to the challenges of using GNSS on the railways
and safety considerations.

Key market trends
Use of GNSS in non safety critical applications will continue to
increase and safety critical applications will complement the
traditional rail technologies for signalling and train control
Railway signalling
 PTC in USA
 ERTMS in Europe
 Low density lines

Areas of interest for GNSS research in rail
• Mature GNSS-enabled products for low
density lines signalling
• Use of E-GNSS to complement ERTMS
• Evolutions of non-safety critical applications
– Passenger information services
– Driver assistance
– Track Maintenance
• Multimodal applications and asset
management/logistics solutions for
improving supply chain visibility

Discussion
• What is ERTMS and how does it relate to Galileo and
EGNOS?
• What are low-density lines and what can GNSS offer to
infrastructure managers in charge of low density lines?
• What are the current possibilities for logistics service
providers to monitor goods status along the supply
chain? Is there any potential for GNSS?
