Abstract
In this paper, the challenging problem of train localization is investigated. Precise localization of rail vehicles is a key element for development of more efficient and safe operation of high-speed railway. The localization task is formulated in a 3GPP LTEbased framework that enables us to derive the Doppler frequency offset of moving train, by exploitation of positioning reference signal (PRS) placed in the subframe, in Ricean channel. Then, a PRS-oriented train position approach is proposed. The PRS time difference of arrival from positioning references eNB1 and eNB2, is calculated by sequences cross correlation, and the train running curve is determined by inquiring about the line database of track section. Finally, the train position is evaluated by combining the information of PRS time difference of arrival and the train’s moving trajectory. In the simulation, the localization performance is well demonstrated, when two types of railway alignments, i.e., straight line and circle curve, are considered.
