GNSS in a Regulatory Tool
• Using data as a key element of the evidence of an event having occurred
• Need to clearly demonstrate:o What has happenedo The overall system is trustworthy
• Achieve this via a layered solution:o Technologyo Procedureso Regulation
12
Transport and Main Roads
Technology
• Standard GNSS service• Collect time series data with quality
indicators• Type-approved in-vehicle unit (IVU)• Significant focus on
monitoring/reporting IVU status:o Wide range of event alarms that flag
potential malfunctions or tampering
