Fleet Positioning
Swift’s Skylark precision cloud reference service supports railway operations and fleet positioning—as well as increasing efficiency and safety—by providing an alternative to traditional balises with real-time localization without long convergence times over an area that spans a nation.
Positive Train Control
Swift Navigation’s centimeter-accurate and affordable RTK GNSS receivers make them ideal for the implementation of PTC. The combination of RTK GNSS + IMU technologies allows Duro Inertial to be more robust to anomalies and to provide position solutions with higher availability and smoother trajectory—delivering the robustness your rail assets need.
Inertial Technology
Duro Inertial utilizes Carnegie Robotics’ SmoothPose™ sensor fusion algorithm, within Swift’s Starling Positioning Engine, to deliver a continuous and robust positioning system for a variety of applications, even at times where there is little to no GNSS visibility.
