Train positioning is one of the important fundamental factors for many railway transportation system applications. The implementation of BDS（BeiDou Navigation Satellite System） in train positioning is capable of greatly improving the autonomy for railway transportation equipments in China. According to the requirements of performance adaptability to the noise interference and operation conditions for train positioning using BDS, a train positioning method considering the track characteristics is proposed in this paper. With this method, characteristics of the rail tracks are extracted from the electronic track map database, with which the system model for state prediction is improved by track constraints, and the pseudo range observation model is enhanced with 1D track location measurement. Results from simulation with field scenes illustrate that the proposed method is capable of enhancing the robustness performance to BDS satellite visibility, and the availability of BDS-based positioning under critical observation conditions is significantly improved, which is with great value for application.
