ENCQOR 5G Academic Technology Development Challenge Statement: 5G Localization Use case in Mass Rail Transit

5G technology has the potential to solve key challenges faced by transit operators in autonomous train operation (ATO). Position information has become a key feature in recent years to drive location and context aware services in mobile communications. However, providing position information with sufficient accuracy, high availability and coverage is still a very challenging task.

 

Thales Canada is interested in working with an Ontario based academic institution to develop a 5G communications system for localization with sub 1m accuracy.
