Magnetic field localization utilizes position dependent and time persistent distortions of the
earth magnetic field. These distortions are introduced by stationary ferromagnetic material in …

In this paper a train localization method is proposed that uses local variations of the earth
magnetic field to determine the topological position of a train in a track network. The approach …

For the automation of railway systems, a crucial requirement is a reliable localization system
that is able to localize all trains in the track network. While in most parts of the track network, …

The earth’s magnetic field along railway tracks is strongly distorted by magnetic material in
the vicinity, eg, steel in rails and reinforced concrete. The resulting magnetic distortions are …

Magnetic field localization is based on the fact that the Earth’s magnetic field is distorted in
the vicinity of ferromagnetic objects. When ferromagnetic objects are in fixed positions, the …

Magnetic-field based indoor localization uses distortions of the Earth magnetic field caused
by magnetic material in the surrounding of the platform that is to be localized. Existing …

Within the next few decades, railways will undergo a major modernisation in order to increase
their efficiency and safety. The modernisation process will enable new concepts such as …

Train localization is a key technology for automating railway traffic and using the railway
infrastructure efficiently. Localization must be available independent from the environment and …

Within the next decades the railway systems will change to fully autonomous high speed
trains (HSTs). An increase in efficiency and safety and a reduction of costs would go hand in …

Passive magnetic sensors measure the magnetic field density in three axes and are often
integrated on a single chip. These low‐cost sensors are widely used in car navigation as well …
