GNSS for ERTMS Train Localization A step-change technology and new business model

GNSS has recently been endorsed as one of the “Game Changer” innovations helping improve the competitivity of the European Railways Train Management System (ERTMS). Backed by more than a decade of studies and technology developments, these authors review the main economical implications behind this unprecedented program together with the benefits for using a public telecom network and the challenges at system level. New capabilities and business models are making GNSS an exciting contributor to deploying ERTMS on local and regional lines in the coming years. The world’s most valuable GNSS localization technologies, aided by exploiting Galileo, GPS and other constellations, are leading the race to transform the future of ERTMS while introducing the concept of service provisioning to fully exploit the benefits.
