Abstract

The flexibility of computer resources allows for the limitation of ground devices used for the self-localization of trains. In association with on-board speed measurement systems, some numerical markers judiciously placed on the tracks will permit the accurate control of the train movement. The quality and security assume a precise knowledge of the electromagnetic field between the on-board interrogator and track beacons
