Well they've fixed the link now, if anyone wishes to partake.
However my understanding is that 'autonomous rail vehicles' is a euphemism for driverless trains.
As we say here in Blighty, "Smart turkeys don't vote for Christmas", so as a train driver I'll not be participating myself.
However in the spirit of International Friendship (which I consider to be very important, and especially so right now) I would point you towards the research that is being undertaken for ERTMS (European Rail Traffic Management System).
I last heard that in connection with autonomous Level Crossing operations, Ground Radar is being used to detect objects similar in size to a small child lying flat on the ground.
Google is your friend.
Cheers, John
