Train positioning detection information is fundamental for high-speed railroad inspection, making it possible to simultaneously determine the status and evaluate the integrity of railroad equipment. This paper presents the results of measurements and an analysis of an inertial measurement unit (IMU) used as a positioning detection sensors. Acceleration and angular rate measurements from the IMU were analyzed in the amplitude and frequency domains, with a discussion on vibration and train motions. Using these results and GPS information, the positioning detection of a Korean tilting train express was performed from Naju station to Illo station on the Honam-line. The results of a synchronized analysis of sensor measurements and train motion can help in the design of a train location detection system and improve the positioning detection performance.

Now, for the continuous location detection of train, The method which the moving distance and speed of vehicles are detected using an odometer mounted within railway vehicle, is used in railway domain generally. There are some problems that the train's positioning errors are accumulated as the moving distances increase. To solve this problems, The Train-borne Positioning System is being developed at Korea Railroad Research Institute. It is required to evaluate exactly a positioning performance of The Train-borne Positioning System for improvement of performance. Therefore, in this paper, we review the CDGPS methods to acquire reference position for performance evaluation of Train-borne Positioning System and verify the accuracy of the reference position through the static test and the vehicle test.

Now, for the continuous location detection of train, the method that the moving distance of a vehicle is detected using an wheel sensor(odometer) mounted within a train, is generally used. It has a problem that the positioning errors of a train can be accumulated as the moving distance increases. To solve this problem, it is required to apply a variety of positioning sensors and to integrate with sensor data. In this paper, we develop the train-borne positioning system applicable to the conventional railway and high-speed railway, and verify the performance of the train-borne positioning system through a vehicle test.
