INTER MODAL TRANSPORT AND EGNOS:

OVERVIEW OF THE PRESENTATION

Closed, ongoing and forthcoming initiatives

Next steps in standardization proposals

Legal and regulatory issues and challenges

EGNOS STANDARDIZATION FOR INTERMODAL FREIGHT DOMAIN

CWA 16390

SCUTUM AND CWA 16390

SCUTUM managed by the GSA through EU 7FP funds focused ion

the operational adoption of EGNOS for commercial services

Focusing on tracking & tracing of dangerous goods

EGNOS CS -> SBAS provided through EDAS

Aiming at a standardisation of EGNOS for Intelligent Transport

Systems

Solution proposed as the base for a CWA

CWA 16505

SMART CM AND CWA 16505

CWA 16505 focused on standardization for “SMART CM”

Defining a standard for containers tracking procedures

Message format definition

Position information included in proposed standard

High reliability devices required

EGNOS can provide reliable position information

IFT domain needs regulation

EGNOS to enhance the security of the transport of goods and help

define liability schemes among stakeholders

Attention for introducing positioning standards is high

EGNOS to support the implementation of smart mobility and

European policies for logistics (e-freight, green lanes)

SCUTUM/16390 fits SMART CM/16505 framework -> new CWA

possible

EGNOS needs to go beyond aviation application domain and

become multimodal

TIME FOR STANDARDS IS NOW!

NEW CWA PROPOSAL

POSSIBLE STEPS TOWARDS CWA EVOLUTIONS

Raise Regulatory aspects - fostering the availability of EGNOS

based technology

Stimulate awareness about existing standardization processes

(CWAs, frameworks)

Involve the Key Players for preliminary feasibility analysis and

rationalization (manufacturers, standardization and regulatory

bodies)

Stress the concept of EGNOS as “free to use” instead of

“free”

CWA evolution

Requirement for EGNOS in liability critical applications

Regulation required

Standard definition

Specific Certfication required?

Certification process may be difficult (time) and expensive for

Manifacturer

It depends on the nature of the application and driven by

the regulatory framework

Different levels of reliability required on the position data

Different levels of «performance»

Possible solution /way forward

Working agreement among application stakeholders

No need for certification (e.g. new trends in automobile insurance)
