8

…new market trends in transport emerge…

• Increased pressure for emergency location sharing and safety-related applications drives the demand for telematics equipment, which serves as a platform for innovative applications

• Dedicated nomadic GNSS devices (PNDs) are becoming redundant with increasing use of smartphones and better affordability of In-Vehicle Systems

Road

Maritime

• Multi-constellation GNSS receivers at the centre of the proposed IMO e-navigation concept

• COSPAS-SARSAT enhancing the infrastructure with GNSS to reduce reaction time in emergency response

Aviation • Increasing usage of GNSS navigation, particularly for Performance Based

Navigation (PBN) • Growth in number of passengers (1-2% in recent years) • GNSS enabled Emergency Locator Transmitters (ELTs) are also being more

and more used in aviation

…leading to emerging applications able to support smart and efficient mobility

Description Application Example

Multimodal logistics

• Multimodal logistics transportation aims to create a seamless connectivity between different transport modes to maximize the impact of mass transport and enable sustainable mobility

[Road, Rail, Aviation, Maritime]

Other future transport

• New technologies have the potential to make our roads and transit systems safer, greener and more efficient. In the next future a number of ongoing ambitious projects will deliver their results (e.g. Hyperloop, Maglev trains, Urban pods, Skylon, etc.) [Road, Rail, Aviation, Maritime]

Smart Mobility • Smart Mobility uses ICT technologies to enhance quality

and performance of urban services, to reduce costs and resource consumption, and to engage more effectively and actively with its citizens. [Road, Rail, Maritime]

Connected Cars • Is a new vehicle feature that enables the exchange of

information with the Internet via specific interfaces, bringing the Internet into the automotive world

[Road]

Autonomous vehicles

• An autonomous vehicle is capable of sensing its environment and navigating without human control fulfilling the main transportation capabilities of a traditional car

[Road]

Key takeaways and watch outs in transport applications

11

KEY TAKEAWAYS WATCH OUT

• Development of autonomous driving will require better accuracy and reliability, possibly authentication

• Emergency services will bring another GNSS platform in the car

• Car connectivity will decrease the importance of reducing time to first fix, since assistance data will be provided via the network

• Public transportation and multimodal transport applications will use GNSS as main source of geolocation and will increasingly ask for indoor means for relative positioning

• In aviation EGNSS is becoming a key enabler for Communication, Navigation and Surveillance for all flight phases

• Accuracy would have to be improved to decimetre level to enable full autonomous driving

• Better continuity in challenging environments (e.g. urban canyons) would have to be ensured

• Demanding user integrity requirements in emerging safety-critical applications

• Galileo SAR inclusion in 2nd generation beacons

GNSS market trends and opportunities in transport

Focus on Rail market

Market trends in Rail

• GNSS penetration growing steadily, but used mainly for non safety of life purposes like asset management or passenger information systems

• Outside of Europe due to different safety requirements, GNSS is starting to penetrate also in train positioning for signaling (PTC, KLUB-U, proprietary solutions for private lines)

• Harmonization of railway signaling is the future trend (ERTMS, PTC,..) • CBA for GNSS based railway signaling is very positive and the industry needs further support

to find ways how to include E-GNSS into the technical specifications for signaling and train control

Where we want to be and how to get there

14

Where we want to be How to get there

EGNSS adopted as one of the key elements of the train command and

control solutions

Support UNISIG and Next Generation Train Control project in their effort to define

requirements

EGNSS adopted as a part of future evolutions of ERTMS and for train

positioning subsystem

Multi-constellation use of GNSS for multimodal logistics applications

Cooperate with railway associations and EC to foster the role of EGNSS in the evolutions of ERTMS standard and in the standardization

and certification of EGNOS receivers

Support the establishment of EGNSS enabled asset and cargo tracking solutions

Signalling Logistics

Low density lines

Combination of E-GNSS with sensors for precise train positioning for use in safety of life CCS applications or with conventional communication technologies for logistics applications.

Main lines

Improve safety and reduce the cost of signalling (requires very few or no line side components)

Reduce the number of physical balises and to improve the precision of the odometry

Improve availability of the supply chain visibility information to the LSP/LSC:

• Georeferenced cargo status monitoring

• Corridoring, Geofencing

Asset management Improve monitoring of the railway assets both for operators and infrastructure managers

Cargo monitoring

Passenger information systems

Improve precision and availability of positioning for on board PIS

EGNSS value proposition for different applications

Challenges for E-GNSS

Railway stakeholders need to define together with GNSS experts requirements in the difficult railway environment: UNISIG is working on defining the

requirements with the support of GSA Unlike in Aviation, railway is suffering

multipath effects and signal outages (cuttings, tunnels, urban canyons)

Minimum requirements on GNSS are difficult to define and require additional performance testing to be conducted by railway experts with the support of satellite industry

Results of FP7 projects addressing the issue of additional sensor integration (ex. odometer, eddy current sensor) are available for railway experts

16

GaLoROI - used EGNOS to provide integrity and increased positioning accuracy in combination with Eddy current sensors

Successful R&D projects laid foundation to opportunities for GNSS in rail signalling

SATLOC developed and demonstrated in Brasov (RO) innovative GNSS Safety of Life rail application for the train control, speed supervision, traffic control and traffic management of UIC-E lines (low density lines)

17

Objective verification of the suitability of EGNSS (including EGNOS and Galileo early services) for safety railway application for Low density lines Safe localization of the trains, based on E-GNSS will be defined and developed, leading the way for the harmonisation with the European ERTMS standard

R&D efforts continued in H2020…..

ERSAT project will leverage the achievements of FP7 and pave the way for inclusion of E-GNSS into future evolutions of ERTMS

18

Key pillar of RHINOS (Railway High Integrity Navigation Overlay System) project is the GNSS infrastructure realized for the aviation application with additional layers that aim to meet the railway safety standards, given the environmental constraints.

Upcoming project RHINOS aims to overcome the limitations of the railway environment

19

RHINOS will also contribute to the definition of a standard for the Railway High Integrity Navigation Overlay System leveraging on the EU-US Cooperation Agreement on ARAIM.

Next steps in R&D towards real applications

Collaboration and information exchange between projects in H2020 and Shift2Rail is a prerequisite to speed up the delivery of necessary R&D results leading to real applications

20

• Enable dedicated E-GNSS performance tests in frame of R&D supporting railway stakeholders to define the requirements – H2020 project STARS coordinated by UNIFE to be kicked off soon

• Support UNISIG and Next Generation Train Control project in their effort to define virtual balise by providing the necessary GNSS related knowledge and expertise

• Foster implementation of technical solution into ERTMS specifications for non safety relevant applications:

• Support the establishment of standardised, E-GNSS enabled asset and cargo tracking solutions for positioning of rail as a key player in the future European multimodal transport
