Output type:

As part of the EU-Rail R2DATO project, Work Packages 21 and 22 focus on Absolute Safe Train Positioning (ASTP). WP21 addresses operational needs, while WP22 focuses on system architecture, design, and RAMS. Their main goals include identifying user needs and system capabilities, analyzing required performance, and defining the ASTP system architecture. This article presents current research on train localization, integrating it with digital maps, and reviews the state-of-the-art in map-matching techniques. It also discusses ongoing research and future directions, concluding with key takeaways.
