Optimization of balise placement in a railway track using a vehicle, an odometer and genetic algorithm
Mohammad Ali Sandidzadeh, Ali Khodadadi · 2011
This study presents optimization of balise placements in a multi-sensor architecture for onboard navigation system of a train, which runs on a track equipped with balise-based signaling system. Determination of locations of balises depends on a variety of parameters. Genetic Algorithm (GA) and Kalman filtering concept were used to find optimum places of balices in the line to reduce tachometer errors, which are one of the most important sensors in train navigation.
