Satellite technologies integration VisionSatellite technologies integration Vision

• The Italian Space Agency, recognises the potentiality of satellite technologies integration and the powerful “enabler” capability of satellite navigation in fostering applications, and pursue three important space initiatives respectively in the secotrs of satellite navigation, Telecommunications and Earth Observation:

– Galileo Programme and its precursor EGNOS;

– The national wide band communication satellite programme;

– The earth observation programme COSMO-SKYMED, high resolution, dual mode imaging system.

Important role of satellite positioning and cellular communications in road charging interoperability

benefit of new satellite positioning systems:

Possibility to define zone tolls

Possibility to charge according to route followed and time of the day

Precise positioning allows high rate discrimination between toll zones

Higher reliability allows lower rate of errors, i.e. fair charging, lower rate of contentions

Road Tolling

Railways Applications Railways Applications

Train Localisation

L’uso del GNSS a bordo dei treni consente di creare procedure alternative per la localizzazione dei treni.Attualmente, la localizzazione è ottenuta da dispositivi montati a livello delle rotaie (contatori assiali, relè, contatti a interruttore).

Train Mgmt and Surveillance

Le posizioni dei treni vengono determinate e trasmesse ai siti centrali di processamento, ad intervalli predeterminati. Le distanze fra i treni sono monitorate e le deviazioni dalla tabella di marcia vengono rilevate e riportate al personale addetto al controllo del traffico.

Train Car Tracking

Un piccolo sensore montato sulle carrozze riporta la posizione attraverso mezzi di comunicazione tipo GSM-R (SMS) o altri mezzi di comunicazione (VHF, UHF,.ecc.) al centro di gestione.Con questo mezzo le carrozze possono essere monitorate anche quando lasciano il territorio nazionale.

Track Maintenance

Le linee ferroviarie richiedono manutenzione ad intervali regolari. Questo viene realizzato usando delle speciali carrozze. Esempi di attività manutentive sono: ingrassaggio delle ruote delle carrozze e dei binari (specialmente gli scambi) o pulitura dei binari stessi.
