That’s what sensor fusion is for.

That said, inertial nav can take a plane across the country without correction and get within sight of the target.

I think integrating actual speed while on rails would be vastly more accurate.

And really, it just need to augment gps.

Sure, sensor fusion sounds reasonable. My mistake, I thought you were referring to GPS and speed integration as separate options.
Are you trying to reinvent already outdated ETCS level 2?
I'm not inventing anything.

And why would it be outdated if it works, and we (US) aren't using it.
