Improvements to CBTC systems using next-generation sensor fusion
Communications based train control (CBTC) has existed for over two decades and remains the leading technology for urban transport systems in relation to increased capacity, reliability, availability and automated train operations. However, transport operators demand more trains per hour, higher availability, lower costs and faster deployment. This article provides an overview of a next-generation sensor fusion odometry solution that provides these improvements and the results from trials using a Humatics positioning solution to replace traditional CBTC odometry solutions...
