Abstract
The paper summarises the main features concerning the definition of an efficient odometry algorithm to be used in modern automatic train protection and control (ATP/ATC) systems. The availability of a reliable speed and travelled distance estimation is essential for the efficiency and the safety of the whole system. The first essential step in odometric subsystem design is the choice of the sensors, whose output signals will be used for velocity estimation. Then a suitable procedure fusing sensor signals has to be defined as a function of number and type of sensors and accuracy and safety targets. In the paper, the main features of an innovative solution will be summarised and its performance will be presented, in terms of precision in speed and travelled distance estimation.
