  1. 1. Compact Digital Track Maps: Enhancing Train Traveller Information at the Crossing of Accuracy and Availability : A comparative analysis of algorithms for generating compact representations of railway tracks

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)

    Author : Adam Andersson; [2023]
    Keywords : Train positioning; Digital track map; Digital map generation; Position measurement; Global navigation satellite system; Cartography; Tågpositionering; Digitala spårkartor; Generering av digitala kartor; Positionsmätning; Satellitnavigation; Kartograf;

    Abstract : Trains are constrained to the railway tracks they operate on. This can be leveraged for absolute train positioning, where a train’s position can be mapped onto a digital track map (DTM). Extensive research has been dedicated to enhancing the accuracy of DTMs. READ MORE

  3. 2. A supervised learning approach for transport mode detection using GPS tracking data

    University essay from Högskolan Dalarna/Institutionen för information och teknik

    Author : Stepan Ivanov; Stefanos Sakellariou; [2022]
    Keywords : Transport mode detection; GPS data; Machine learning; Supervised learning; Segmentation; Random forest;

    Abstract : The fast development in telecommunication is producing a huge amount of data related to how people move and behave over time. Nowadays, travel data are mainly collected through Global Positioning Systems (GPS) and can be used to identify human mobility patterns and travel behaviors. READ MORE

  4. 3. Analysis of Positional Precision when Using Ground Control Points with Supported INS in GNSS-Free Environments

    University essay from KTH/Fastigheter och byggande

    Author : Linus Bäckström; Patrik Grenert; [2021]
    Keywords : Track maintenance; GNSS; INS; GCP; GNSS-free environments; Railway positioning; Rälsunderhåll; GNSS; INS; Kända punkter; Avsaknad av GNSS; Positionering på räls;

    Abstract : Railway traffic is one of the most used transportation methods in today's society both for freight transports and transportation of people. A necessity for this to function is that the tracks upon which the trains travel are functional. READ MORE

  5. 4. Artificial Intelligence applications for railway signalling

    University essay from KTH/Transportplanering

    Author : Benjamin Smakic; [2021]
    Keywords : Artificial Intelligence; AI; Machine Learning; ML; Computer Vision; railway signalling; ERTMS level 3; GPS; autonomous train operations; Artificiell Intelligens; Maskininlärning; datorseende; signalteknik; autonoma tåg; självkörande tåg.;

    Abstract : The main purpose of this Master Thesis is to investigate how front-facing, train-mounted cameras and Computer Vision, a type of Artificial Intelligence (AI), can be used to compensate for GPS inaccuracies. By using footage from track-recording cameras, Computer Vision can be utilized to determine the number of tracks and the track occupancy of the train, which would compensate GPS inaccuracies in the lateral positioning.

  6. 5. 1D LIDAR Speed and Motion for the Internet-of-Things : For Railroad Classification Yards

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)

    Author : Edward Chancellor; Kasper Oikarinen; [2021]
    Keywords : LIDAR; Trains; Internet of Things; Motion-tracking; Rail transportation; Railroad classification yards.; LIDAR; Tåg; Sakernas internet; Rörelsespårning; Tågtrafik; Rangerbangårdar.;

    Abstract : This thesis is an investigation into the feasibility of one-dimensional Light Detection and Ranging (LIDAR) sensors for tracking the position and motion of trains on railroad classification yards. Carefully monitoring railway traffic in these areas is important, in order to avoid accidents, optimise logistical operations and hence reduce delays. READ MORE
