Summary
Stopping a train accurately at a predetermined position is an important task for
railway signalling. One type of equipment used to aid in accomplishing this task is
an automatic train stop (ATS). An ATS consists of an on-board antenna and a
ground coil. For an ATS to work correctly, ground coils should be attached and
positioned accurately. To attach a ground coil accurately, the position in the field is
usually measured with a tape. This measuring method has some disadvantages as the
measurement error can be large. Further a number of people and time are necessary.
A measuring method has been developed for the ground coil position of an ATS
which is highly accuracy and may reduce the labour for the measurement. In order to
establish such a method, a measuring method with the network type real time
kinematic - global positioning system (RTK-GPS) is used. Measuring verification
suggests that the method proposed in this paper is useful to measure the ground coil
position of an ATS.
