Accurate detection of track occupancy within train tracking systems

Abstract

A train tracking system includes a train tracking module, a plurality of input sources providing train related information, and one or more interface(s) associated with the train tracking module, wherein the train tracking module is configured via computer executable instructions and through operation of a processor to receive the train related information from the plurality of input sources via the one or more interface(s), determine a position of a train within a train track map, the position of the train corresponding to a track location of the train in a track network, and wherein the train tracking module further comprises a learning algorithm, the train tracking module being configured to, utilizing the learning algorithm, determine an unexpected occupancy of the track location.
