Accurate train positioning is crucial for train safety. In this paper, we propose a train positioning method which fuses vison and millimeter-wave radar data. The proposed method contains two parts: loop closure detection (LCD) and radar-based odometry. The loop closure detection part fuses the convolutional neural network (CNN) features and the line features to achieve accurate key location detection. The radar-based odometry part proposes a train speed measurement algorithm using millimeter-wave radar, and combines the results of loop closure detection to further realize train positioning. Experiments conducted on the Hong Kong metro Tsuen Wan line show that our proposed loop closure detection can achieve an efficient key location detection with 98.57% precision and 99.37% recall; the speed detection method fulfills the ETCS requirements; and the relative error of the proposed train positioning method is 0.45%. Besides, the proposed method has been applied on the Hong Kong Metro TSUEN WAN line.
