System Suitability Study for Train Positioning Using GNSS in ERTMS in 2020

ERTMS is an EU initiative with the aim of improving safety and increasing interoperability of rail transport through a Europe-wide standard for train control and command systems, replacing existing national systems. ERTMS consists of two parts: the European Train Control System (ETCS), an automatic train protection system providing in-car train control; and GSM-R, a radio system based on GSM for voice and data communications between the train and trackside.
