Accuracy Evaluation of Cargo Handling Forklift Position Detection Using GNSS

Abstract

Using Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) is one of methods which a train detects its position by itself. It is required a preliminary evaluation for the accuracy of train detection position using GNSS on actual railways expected for application of GNSS. We proposed the evaluation technique for the accuracy of train detection position using GNSS and evaluated it with our technique on utility railways and streetcars. Now using GNSS is considered in the rail freight sector. We apply our technique for the accuracy evaluation of cargo handling forklift position detection using GNSS at the rail freight terminal station.
