GNSS opportunities in Rail Daniel Lopour European GNSS Applications in H 2020 Prague, 04/02/2014
Current status of the EGNSS adoption in Rail GNSS systems are mainly used for non safety critical applications Compared to other industries, the railways have been slow to adopt GNSS technology, this is in part due to the challenges of using GNSS on the railways and safety considerations. 29 -Sep-20 European GNSS Agency 2
Key market trends Use of GNSS in non safety critical applications will continue to increase and safety critical applications will complement the traditional rail technologies for signalling and train control Railway signalling Ø PTC in USA Ø ERTMS in Europe Ø Low density lines 29 -Sep-20 European GNSS Agency 3
E-GNSS value proposition for Rail To improve availability and deliver integrity and accuracy for safety critical applications and specific transport/logistics applications 29 -Sep-20 European GNSS Agency 4
EGNOS and Galileo services relevance in Rail EGNOS E-GNSS Services OS Applications EDAS GALILEO SOL OS Authentication General applications Logistics/Visibility Asset management Track maintenance Passenger information systems Driver assistence Signalling Autonomous train control Low density lines High speed lines Traffic priority in cities Relevant 29 -Sep-20 Not relevant Long term relevance European GNSS Agency 5
Areas of interest for GNSS research in rail • Mature GNSS-enabled products for low density lines signalling • Use of E-GNSS to complement ERTMS • Evolutions of non-safety critical applications – Passenger information services – Driver assistance – Track Maintenance • Multimodal applications and asset management/logistics solutions for improving supply chain visibility 29 -Sep-20 European GNSS Agency 6

Discussion • What is ERTMS and how does it relate to Galileo and EGNOS? • What are low-density lines and what can GNSS offer to infrastructure managers in charge of low density lines? • What are the current possibilities for logistics service providers to monitor goods status along the supply chain? Is there any potential for GNSS? 29 -Sep-20 European GNSS Agency 8
