Described herein are techniques for determining motion characteristics of trains traveling along a train track. In some embodiments, a processor may determine an estimated position of a train using an observed position obtained using one or more UWB antennas and an observed position obtained using one or more GNSS receivers. In some embodiments, a processor may access information specifying a geometry of a train track and determining the position of a train along the train track using an observed position determined using one or more UWB antennas and/or GNSS receiver(s) and the information specifying the geometry of the train track. In some embodiments, a processor may determine estimated positions of a train using the geometry of the train track and at least one observation of the train obtained using one or more positioning devices and select the position of the train from among the estimated positions.
