1. 10% of Europe’s roads are congested; mobility demand
continues to grow
2. Pressure on national budgets to build or scale up roads
3. Costly economic and environmental externalities
The road infrastructure needs to be better used

Road Network Management: new
schemes and regulation impact
• EETS: 2004/52/EC + Decision
2009/750
– EETS must be compatible with
both DSRC and GNSS systems,
but GNSS is recommended for
new systems due to its flexibility
• Eurovignette: 2006/38/EC
– Harmonizes taxation of HGVs
>3.5t using TENs
– By 2012 they should be all
tolled

• The new regulatory
framework combined
with the introduction of
new schemes are
expected to push
strongly GNSS
adoption in Europe
Why GNSS in Road Network Management?
1. Flexibility to adapt over time as road networks/ traffic evolve
2. Cost efficiency: no capital-intensive toll gate infrastructure
3. Holistic approach to traffic management (all roads/ specific roads,
all vehicles/ specific vehicle types, e.g. HGVs)
4. Interoperability in pan-European network
5. New business opportunity for Value Added Services
Agenda
Opportunities
• Why EGNOS (and Galileo) in road
applications?
11
EGNOS: early adopters

Most receivers nowadays are EGNOS-enabled and not more
costly as the non EGNOS-enabled ones.

EGNOS OS is for free: therefore, the cost of using EGNOS is
marginal.

Benefits exist now even if they are under demonstration.

You take decisions now for systems to be applied in the
future (technology improves, benefits will be demonstrated).

So, why not using EGNOS together with GPS ?

ENI early EGNOS adopter: thanks to an
independent test, ENI is equipping national and
international fleet (1,500 trucks) with EGNOS OBU.
EGNOS integrity: versus a guaranteed
position

Operators (toll chargers, EETS, public authorities, logistic operators)
may need to provide in the future a guarantee of positioning for
GNSS-based road pricing schemes (to prevent or manage claims),
in regulated transport (e.g. dangerous goods) or in co-modal and
just-in-time logistics, ensuring a high service quality.

EGNOS can help providing a guarantee of position, providing a level
of confidence to the user.

Scutum: EGNOS CS/EDAS adoption
and standardisation
Implementing EGNOS CS/EDAS large scale/live
operations of dangerous goods transport in the three EU
countries (Italy, France and Austria), by:
Turning proven demonstration into operation
Leading research into fruition
A technolgy step forward in:
1) Optimization of the processing to further
increase the availability of HPL calculations/
guarantee of position
2) multipath mitigation -> to improve the HPL
solution

• The cost benefit analysis will

• Universal/ HGVs only
• Motorways/ Country schemes
• Key Europe-wide examples

BUSINESS CASES
HGV scheme in France: GNSS shows a
considerably higher NPV than DSRC free flow
Objective: to assess the economics of key road tolling technologies if applied only
to HGVs in a large network formed mainly by motorways

Note: * > 3.5t ; ** The simulation is based on estimates on the eco-tax (GNSS or DSRC Free Flow systems to be applied to a large network of non-conceded
motorways and local roads). To make the simulation comparable with other cases some elements are different from the actual bid: there is not a bonus/ malus
scheme for the TC (but revenues from tolling instead) and the SP is in charge of fraud costs (as opposed to the actual bid, where they are sustained by the
Public authority)

EGNOS is the first European SatNav system
EGNOS improves the accuracy of position measurements by
transmitting signals that correct GPS data and provide information
on its reliability
EGNOS is composed of transponders aboard three geostationary
satellites and a ground network of about 40 positioning stations
and four control centres.
EGNOS is available and free of charges
