This data set follows the data sharing principles of the LRT (localization
reference train) initiative that are available at [lrt-

**About**
We provide a data set that can be used for various rail vehicle positioning
experiments. The data were collected using the German Aerospace Center (DLR)
research vehicle RailDriVE on a segment of the Braunschweig harbor railway in
February 2019.
Several sensors of the RailDriVE equipment and an additional self-sufficient
system provided by Technische Universität Darmstadt (TU Darmstadt) were
employed, including two GNSS receivers, two inertial measurement units (IMU),
and several speed and distance sensors (radar, optical, odometer). Front-
facing camera data has been included for documentation purposes.
In order to simplify its use, some pre-processing steps were applied to the
data, mainly to have common time and coordinate frames. Furthermore, example
and reference positioning solutions as well as a track map have been included.
The data can be used as a starting point for research work or student theses.
Novel and established algorithms for many different sub-problems can be tested
on the data, in order to facilitate their comparison and make results and
insights more accessible.
