A Dependability Analysis for Integrating a Satellite Positioning System in a Rail Freight Application
Résumé
Supervising freight rolling stocks on railway networks requires the knowledge of each train position. These are today be obtained by infrastructure-based equipments on the track. The use of a GNSS is considered as an interesting alternative as it allows activities related to the logistics of freight transportation to be improved and the trackside equipments to be reduced. This is one of the objectives of the Tr@in-MD project (Transport intelligent par fer des Marchandises Dangereuses - intelligent railway transportation of hazardous materials) as well as using intelligent sensors that will detect incidents. A GSM equipment will send the GPS position data to the control centre in case of potential critical situation.
