6 March, 2015 The European GNSS Programmes 3
The European GNSS Programmes: EGNOS and Galileo
Satellite Based Augmentation System (SBAS)
Better accuracy than GPS only (ionosphere and system errors)
Global Satellite Navigation System
All Made in Europe (including launches and all the ground stations!)
makes the difference!
EGNOS, satellite based augmentation system (SBAS), brings value to GPS
GPS
GPS + SBAS
Satellite Based Augmentation System (SBAS)
Complementing GPS accuracy (ionosphere and system errors)
6 satellites have been launched
4 of them are working and transmitting signal since March 2013
24 satellites are in production:
additional 6 satellites ready for launch during 2015
Next launch at the end of this month!
Galileo has already taken-off
Galileo contribution to multiple GNSS
When buildings block the signal and reduce the number of visible satellites, the availability of more constellations ensures a much more accurate final position
Having more satellites in view has beneficial effect on reducing the time to the first fix
The robustness of the position is improved, and even if a satellite or constellation are not available or providing incorrect data, a reasonable accuracy will continue to provided.
Galileo´s other main differentiators
7
•Galileo in combination with other GNSS provides improved accuracy, availability and allows for a faster time-to-first-fix
Multi-constellation
• Galileo is expected to be the only GNSS providing Open Service authentication, data encryption solutions enhancing GNSS reliability and enabling commercially sensitive applications
Galileo Authentication
•The strength of Galileo signal, together with an advanced code modulations, makes Galileo better mitigating multipath effects (especially in E5, but also E1)
Multipath Resistant
• Using the data-less signal with a 100ms length for the secondary code, Galileo allows for an enhanced indoor penetration, improved performances in urban canyon, better performances in noise measurements and improved sensitivity in A-GNSS mode
Data-less signal of Galileo

Europe understands the benefits of GNSS for tolling
Satellite-Based Truck Tolling System since 2010 600 km motorways and 1800 km first class roads 1,132 tolled sections More than 30 legislative changes in RUC in 4 years
Source: SkyToll
Example of GNSS best practice: Slovakia
Lesson learnt:
Fast money back: highest efficiency of toll collection in EU achieved in the first year of operation, even on the low class roads
2014: Rapid Extension in Slovakia using GNSS
T
Extension made in 3 months 15,315 Km of new tolled roads 3,162 new tolled sections Thousands of gantries would be needed with DSRC technology All motorways, expressways, 1st, 2nd and 3rd class roads in the country covered Largest extension of RUC network worldwide Longest system in Europe
Lesson learnt:
Prepared for country interoperability: OBUs including all used technologies for
electronic toll collection in EU

DSRC and GNSS technologies for tolling…. can work together
Hybrid GNSS-DSRC On Board Units (OBU)
Main OBU manufacturers are ready to join the next generation of fully interoperable hybrid tolling systems
Solutions already in the market ready to drive with the same OBU in 2 countries, and with 2 different technologies
New OBUs will be compliant to all currently defined standards of the planned European Electronic Toll Service
To move things forward, the EC project REETS (Regional EETS) was established to test the EETS concept in ‘regional’ tolling clusters that could grow, merge and finally result in the wide scale configuration originally envisioned
Universal tolling scheme: HGVs & LVs/ PCs
Technology interoperability and innovation driving….
BELGIUM Expected an e-vignette for the time being The inclusion of PCs in the future is still
under high-level discussion BULGARIA Initially apply to freight vehicles only (2017) Other vehicles would be included in stages,
the last batch being that of passenger cars FINLAND Traffic Lab testing “multi-service platform”
of driver services of which road tolling would be just one

NORWAY IBM selected in 2013 to design, build and
deliver a new centralised road toll system with GNSS-based OBUs being a possibility

connection Polygon-based congestion zone control (geo-referencing) Penalties for drivers not complying with the restriction Positioning based on GNSS multi-constellation providing
higher reliability Direct V2V communications through combined with
ubiquitous smartphones
