Article: Further information to GPS data

Which data does DB Regio provide?

  • Vehicle location data (see example files)
  • Time table information (RIS-API)
  • Track data
  • Further to be discussed during Proof of Concept (PoC)

Is RINEX data available?

  • Unfortunately not.

Which data do you receive on your trains eg. GPS L1/l2, GLONASS L1/L2…?

  • We only receive the processed GPS-data results in WGS 84.

Is it possible to get GNSS raw data ?

  • Unfortunately, we can not access this data in our backoffice.

Can we increase GPS quality by adding our own hardware or upgrading the current technology in the vehicles?

  • No, thats exactly the challenge.

Whats the tricky part about match mapping?

  • The parallel tracks in our depots are very close to each other.
  • It is challenging to increase the accuracy to match the train to the right track.
  • Check the file  “Example of depot tracks”.
  • Further information: It is not possible to update the software of our existing systems.
