Design and experiment of Beidou satellite navigation railway tunnel coverage enhancement system

Abstract In areas of satellite navigation signals being obstructed, coveraging the interior of the tunnel with Satellite navigation signals based on navigation signals real-time regeneration technology is an important way to achieve the applications of satellite navigation in railway mobile equipment positioning and auxiliary protection for operators. We analyzed the application requirements on navigation positioning and time synchronization, and technical requirements on universality and electromagnetic compatibility, etc. The article designed the composition and logical architecture of the Beidou satellite navigation railway tunnel coverage enhancement system, proposed the design of system functions and performance parameters, and verified the system’s functionality and performance through static mode testing and dynamic mode testing. The design and implementation of the Beidou satellite navigation railway tunnel coverage enhancement system have important practical value for the application in mobile equipment positioning and auxiliary protection for operators in railway tunnel.
