Analysis Of Telemetry Data From A Tram Vehicle

Modern cities depend on reliable public transportation, necessitating the transport of thousands of commuters every day. A reliable form of mass transit is needed to meet this demand, with bigger cities investing into vast tram and train networks - modern ones often with various stages of automation. Over the last few years, research has been carried out to bring autonomous driving from segregated means of transport into all forms of future vehicles - to save on costs, deliver more reliable service, and prevent incidents.This paper presents an analysis of the reliability and accuracy of global positioning system (GPS) data, measured on a tram line in the city of Bratislava, in comparison with data from the tram vehicle itself, as well as a proof of the concept of detection of critical points on the line and abnormalities in regular service.
