EGNOS for freight transport and logistics

EGNOS Service Provision Workshop, 4 July 2013 2

Attractive market for a value added Service Provider:· Size· Interest from users· Applications exploiting EGNOS· Business cases benefitting from EGNOS· EGNOS adding value to GPS today, and in preparation to Galileo

Why EGNOSfor freight transport and logistics

EGNOS Service Provision Workshop, 4 July 2013 3

· Huge potential:Big volumes of goods transported in EU and extra-EU*Various transport modalitiesDifferent stakeholders/liability schemes in the supply chainBig players

· Various institutions and decision-makers· Need for:

TraceabilityPrecise, reliable and real-time informationWide coverageCost-effectivenessIntegration

· Good ITS penetration in EU fairly increasing (evolving towards interoperable systems)(* sources: Eurostat, OECD)

Opportunities

Challenges

· Fragmented market· International dimension (mainly for containers)· Heterogeneity, mostly depending on the modality of shipping:

Different requirements and environments (land-based/rail-road-inland waterways, containerized/maritime-inland waterways, terminals/ports/interports)Variety of goodsVarious standards, standardization bodies and regulatory frameworks

· Complex operational scenarios and constraints· Slow GPS penetration in EU (often compared with different technologies)· Key drivers for the market uptake:

Technology for the terminals, availability of products and relevant customization flexibility (technology and costs) to fit specific needsOperational costs (including change of procedures and training)

Multimodal containers/asset transport· Prototypes extensively proven, now evolving in products· Small-scale operations· Over inland EU and extra-EU (North Africa) supply chains· Users and stakeholders awareness increasing· Real business cases exploiting EGNOS· Sustainability for EGNOS OS and EGNOS EDAS depending on:

Specific business caseSpecific type of goodsSpecific supply chain/traffic (inland EU or extra-EU)

· Some policies to slightly incentivize GNSS introduction

EGNOS added value for users

EGNOS OS· More precise localization

EGNOS EDAS· Higher reliability· Information trustable and independent from operator · Enhanced law enforcement and safety · Possible commercial benefits· Facilitation of customs procedures (e.g. extra-EU, “green corridors”)· Quality contract

Lessons learnt

· Roadmap for EGNOS market uptake:Different for EGNOS OS and EGNOS EDAS, with common actionsTailored on specific business case, e.g. type of goods and mode of transport

· Institutions able to stimulate and incentivize (e.g. new business models/sustainability)· Fitting in existing/on-going standardization rather than standalone standardization effort

(e.g. “Data Goods Device”, TAP-TSI) to fill the gaps· Introduction in extra-EU enlarging exploitation in EU· Galileo perspective strengthening opportunities for EGNOS

Key actions

· Facilitating use of EGNOS OS· Exploiting combination with complementary technologies· Targeting large-scale operations on specific business cases:

To launch best practicesTo tune business models and operational proceduresFor benefits verification

· Ensuring cooperation with key players:Big usersUsers associationsTerminal manufacturers
