Title: Prototype HSR Accurate Low-cost GPS Locomotive Location System
Accession Number: 01080510
Record Type: Monograph
Availability: National Technical Information Service 5301 Shawnee Road Abstract: This Innovations Deserving Exploratory Analysis (IDEA) project involved the design, building, and testing of a prototype High-Speed Rail (HSR) Global Positioning System (GPS) Locomotive Location System (GLLS). The design focused on the heading signature of a train as it passes over a siding switch. The signature is exploited to precisely determine whether the locomotive has entered the siding or remains on the mainline track in support of a Positive Train Control (PTC) architecture. The prototype uses hardware that is low-cost, highly accurate, and robust. In addition, it exploits GPS heading technology that is drift-free and insensitive to magnetic disturbances.
