The map correlation and positioning of train can be processed server-side only.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 The data bandwidth required is very low. The train&#8217;s point-history is maintained by the server and the GoTRAX system only transmits speed, distance travelled since last point, and direction taken at last point so the quality of service requirements of the GSM\/communications used to relay the GoTRAX data are very low.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 The GoTRAX server-side system can detect when the actual railway layout has changed since every GoTRAX system on every train passing a modified\/changed set of points will report the points in a new position. The server-side system then identifies that something has changed and flags this to the operator who only needs to confirm an update to the server&#8217;s map.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 No additional infrastructure is required for positioning. GoTRAX detects and tracks the most obvious high-level features in the image, the rails themselves. No additional maintenance is required.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 GoTRAX functions in all rail-operable weather conditions in day and night. It can be used on indoor environments in the dark i.e. London Underground<\/p>\n<p>The outputs from GoTRAX can be used to enable various other technologies and systems such as:<br \/>\n\u2022 Complimentary alternative to GPS and infrastructure positioning systems for use in safety critical alternative signalling mechanisms. GoTRAX can be fused server side with other data collected from other systems to provide a very robust alternative signalling system.<br \/>\n\u2022 The same camera can be used to process for intruder detection and perform obstacle detection and emergency braking.<br \/>\n\u2022 Can enhance Driver Advisory Systems (DAS); For example, carriage door to platform alignment information containing distance to stopping position and recommended target speed can be sent to the driver<br \/>\n\u2022 Real-time Up to date information for Passenger Information Systems.<br \/>\n\u2022 Forward facing CCTV substitute<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-clearfix\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":12485,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","format":"image","meta":{"footnotes":""},"portfolio_category":[56],"portfolio_skills":[],"portfolio_tags":[],"class_list":["post-11667","avada_portfolio","type-avada_portfolio","status-publish","format-image","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","portfolio_category-gotrax"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.0 -
