RAILGAP (RAILway Ground truth and digital mAP) focuses on developing an innovative High Accuracy, High Precision Ground Truth and Digital Maps, essential elements of an EGNSS train positioning system and a V&V Environment. The project will address two showstoppers: lack of high-quality data with ground truth and a modernized process for mapping existing train tracks cost-effectively. RAILGAP will answer to these challenges by deriving mapping information directly from trains in commercial operation collecting massive amounts of data. This enables characterizing even the most challenging railway environments. Results will support the GSA roadmap in adopting EGNSS in train Command & Control Systems (CCS) and trigger contributions from stakeholders.
