EGNOS Data Access Service (EDAS) EGNOS data (real-time): RIMS raw observations SBAS messages End users Value-added service provider Phased approach: Phase 1: prototyping (2008) EDAS data free-of-charge No guarantee/liability 12 months duration minimum Phase 2: commercial exploitation (from 2009) Example of applications : road transport in urban areas User-specific information
EGNOS Performance (January 2009) Source: Service Management Report ESSP for January 2009 APV … Approach with vertical guidance
EGNOS Programme Status EGNOS is already broadcasting signals of excellent quality 2009: Assets have been transferred from ESA to the European Community in April 2009 First EGNOS operator contract as of 1st April 2009 OS declaration of "entry into service" planned for late 2009 EC has finalized the procurement and lease of an EGNOS transponder to replace ARTEMIS as of 2011 Procurement action ongoing for replacement of 2nd EGNOS transponder Geographical service extension is under study 2010: SOL declaration of "entry into service" planned for mid-2010 (after certification milestone) EC intends to launch tests to demonstrate the added value of EGNOS for different market segments GSA web portal for user communities and developers of applications starting early 2010
EGNOS Extensions Eastern Europe Middle-East MEDA Depending on the extension area, technical implementation may vary from: Homogeneous extension with deployment of additional RIMS Regional infrastructure including additional processing capabilities
Aviation was first to recognise EGNOS benefits (mostly GA and smaller airports) EGNOS competitive space EGNOS enables a reduction in the decision height General operational benefits Reduction in angle of approach (direct and curved) Better lateral guidance Allows for IFR-like operation in non ILS-equipped airports Increase in airports capacity Increase in safety Increase in flight capability (e.g. helicopters) Expensive land based navaids can be avoided Enables their long term decommissioning => lower terminal charges NPA: Non Precision Approach LNAV: Lateral NAVigation VNAV: Vertical NAVigation LPV: Lateral Precision with Vertical guidance GLS: GNSS Landing System CAT II: Category 2 Precision Approach CAT III: Category 3 Precision Approach Long-term

Galileo – 5 Services Open Service Free to air; Mass market; Simple positioning Commercial Service Encrypted; High accuracy; Guaranteed service Safety of Life Service Open Service + Integrity and Authentication of signal Encrypted; Integrity; Continuous availability Public Regulated Service Search and Rescue Service Near real-time; Precise; Return link feasible
Galileo Performance Standards (Dual Frequency) Service Horizontal Accuracy (95%) (incl. system margins) Vertical Accuracy (95%) Availability* Integrity Open Service 4 m 8 m > 99.5% NO Commercial Service Detailed performance requirements under elaboration Safety of Life Service YES (LPV200) Public Regulated Service YES Please note: Currently the HLD still specifies for the PRS a horiz. accuracy of 6 m and a vertical accuracy of 12 m. However, this will be corrected to 4 and 8 respectively once the document is updated. * Availability figures for global average
Road Market : Road Tolling Galileo / Egnos can bring : Better accuracy Better availability of the signal Authentication to avoid spoofing Service guarantee to operators All receivers will use two or more constellations for better performance : Galileo + GPS Galileo + Compass Galileo + Glonass Standardization process to be achieved in the interoperability Directive
Road Transport : Dangerous Goods Proposal for an EC directive for real time tracking of dangerous materials Aiming first at improving road safety and civil security Should however benefit to hauliers as well as it will help smoothering traffic restrictions Nuclear material as primary target all other kinds of dangerous ggods concerned Explosives, gases, flammable and combustible liquids, flammable solids, oxydising substances, toxic and infectious substances, radioactive material, corrosive, miscellaneous hazardous International and European elements: Int’l regulation on carraige of dangerous goods by road (ADR), by river (ADNR), Int’l maritime dangerous goods (IMDG), etc. For nuclear/radioactive material, additional rules: Satellite navigation tracking: position, date and time, speed, course, respect of pre-defined path, excluded zones, faster emergency operations, etc.
Road Transport : Monitoring of coaches New EC directive proposal based on real-time satellite tracking to avoid this : Monitoring of the itinerary Real time Access control Monitoring the driving conditions Real time info service + automatic eCall for emergency situations
ADAS (advanced driver assistance systems) Safety critical application Needs total reliability and very high accuracy (up to 10 cm) Galileo required with service guarantee Certification process to be implemented : which agreed body to do it ? To be on the market around 2020
PRS applications : Justice & home affairs, civil protection Offenders & Asylum seekers Electronic devices attached to offenders Alerts when allowed perimeters are broken Cut prison overcrowding Emergency Services Help emergency team operations Provide route guidance in difficult terrains Civil protection Define and apply keep-away zones Identify location to drop material Police forces Police fleet monitoring Fight against piracy Vehicule and individual traking and tracing No numbers so far: but this is coming, as our candidates to the concession highlight the importance of these markets.
Conclusions EGNOS will soon enter into its operational phase EGNOS Open Service in 2009 EGNOS Safety of Life Service in 2010 Galileo is at the handover between the development (IOV) and deployment (FOC) phases GIOVE-A, GIOVE-B missions on-going FOC procurement started in July 2008 4 IOV satellites in 2010 Full Operational Capability in 2013 International coordination is an important feature Ensure compatibility as a minimum Achieve interoperability when desired Europe has demonstrated its technical capability to develop operational navigation systems: • EGNOS is ready to enter into operations • GALILEO is moving ahead steadily • The future is prepared Europe is now to show its ability to overcome the management and organisational challenges by supporting an appropriate way of developing/ deploying GALILEO infrastructure
