GNSS based method of train integrity control

In the paper the original author’s concept of train integrity control with the use of signals obtained from satellite systems is presented. Th e proper identifi cation of train integrity is relevant from the railway transport safety point of view. Nowadays track clear detection systems in the form of axle’s counters do not provide suffi cient guarantees of fully correct identifi cation of the train integrity on the rail route. Th us, it seems appropriate to use the available, external systems to additional control of the train integrity. Such possibilities are provided among others by satellite systems. Th ese systems are increasingly used for railway tasks. Th erefore, the concept of such a system, the algorithm of operation and the possibility of applying the Kalman fi lter to estimate the measurement results and increase the accuracy is presented in the paper.
