Satellite based train positioning system

Based on evaluation of the present situation at level crossings and interviews with stakeholders across Europe who are relevant for the deployment of level crossing solutions, SafeRail provides a low cost solution using Satellite Navigation and Satellite Communication technology, allowing railway operators to accelerate their level crossing upgrade programme. SafeRail is basically a satellite based train positioning system which enables continuous train detection and safe operation of level crossings. Users considered in this study are: Road User; Train Driver; Train supervisor; Rail Inspector.
