Introduction

AUI has been committed to the METIS project

Co-funding member of the METIS Consortium

In charge of Training and Awareness

Demonstration in Ifrane:

Collect, filter and analyze data gathered by EGNOS System

Report any anomaly and/or important comment to take into account in the benchmarking of the performance of this system inthe region.

Device received in Ifrane about a year and a half ago


Installation of the station in Ifrane

• Installation of antenna• Connecting antenna to server• Installation and configuration of material

Position of antenna:Altitude : 1715.2 mLongitude : -5.108557 Latitude : 33.5389


Initial Results

• Position of antenna at 2 instants

• Difference in these values constitute error• Reports of performance of EGNOS, observed at AUI, are generated

every 24h in the form of XML and PDF files, and sent to data servers via FTP.

• These have shown that signal is always received (under various conditions); quality is better than GPS without augmentation.

Aims of Elgazala with MedaCoN

Win win project • Perform the global system

– Data Collection– Analyzing and uploading data

• Technologies transfer – Awareness about the technologie– Support of SMEs and research labs to develop new

services / applications…

Project History : Keys Date

Contract sign : September 19 2008Ordering the receiver : December 10 2008Receiving the receiver : February 26 2009customs clearance : April 13 2009Setup of the station / software : April 20 2009Starting the data collecting process (deployment) : July 19 2009

Personnel allocated to the project : one person “Mr. TOUNSI”

Issues occurred during the deployment

• Setup of the station (PolaRx2 RxControl)– Was very easy with the Manual website / RxControl User Manual– Occasionnel strange file generated by the software. – Data collection process is blocked

• Using the Pegasus software – Need of a specific training about the interpretation of the different

data/information's generated by Pegasus

• Setup DoIt.bat– Easy to setup, but if there is a problem, very difficult to identify it

because DoIt call a lot of other .Bat Files – Re-execute DoIt need more than 2 hours, eg. if we need to retest

the upload process, we have to execute the hole DoIt program

• Uploading data – Some problems with the automatic upload due to Elgazala Firewall

• Local coordination

Issues occurred during the deployment
