A Train Integrity Solution Based on GNSS Double-Difference Approach

BIOGRAPHIES Alessandro NERI is Full Professor in Telecommunications at the Engineering Department of the ROMA TRE University. In 1977 he received the Doctoral Degree in Electronic Engineering from “Sapienza” University of Rome. In 1978 he joined the Research and Development Department of Contraves Italiana S.p.A. where he gained a specific expertise in the field of radar signal processing and in applied detection and estimation theory, becoming the chief of the advanced systems group. In 1987 he joined the INFOCOM Department of “Sapienza” University of Rome as Associate Professor in Signal and Information Theory. In November 1992 he joined the Electronic Engineering Department of ROMA TRE University as Associate Professor in Electrical Communications, and became full professor in Telecommunications in September 2001. His research activity has mainly been focused on information theory, signal theory, and signal and image processing and their applications to both telecommunications systems and remote sensing. Since December 2008, Prof. Neri is the President of the RadioLabs Consortium, a non-profit Consortium created in 2001 to promote tight cooperation on applied research programs between universities and industries.
