1 EGNOS/EDAS based solutions The Telespazio Experience: EDAS for tracking & tracing of dangerous goods transport SBAS Workshop Canberra, 25/03/2015 Sandro Bevilacqua Head of EGNOS Program 1

2 OUTLINE Telespazio (TPZ) EDAS: TPZ s perspective and product (LCS) Use of EDAS for tracking & tracing of dangerous goods transport LCS for Dangerous Goods Transport on road..from Truck to Containers and to tankers 2

3 Telespazio in the frame of the Space Alliance 14,2 B revenues (2013) employees 16,0 B revenues (2013) employees Space Alliance presence in the Space Value Chain Systems Development Operations Management Systems Application Mission Definition Satellite Production Ground Equipment Production Launch Management (on behalf of customer) Satellite Control / Mission Control Networks & Platforms Applications & Services 3

4 Telespazio International Presence and teleports Based in 10 countries Teleports in Italy (4), Brasil (3), Argentina and Romania 4

5 TELESPAZIO ON GNSS: A LONG STANDING ENGAGEMENT TPZ positioning on GNSS Key player in EGNOS: main partner of ESSP, the EGNOS Service Provider and in charge of the Operation and Maintenance design of EGNOS V3 under TAS-F consortium Major stakeholder in E-GNSS applications and downstream services Key player in GALILEO: Spaceopal, the 50:50 joint-venture between Telespazio (Finmeccanica/Thales) and DLR GfR (a German Space Agency company) is the GALILEO Operator e Airport 5

6 TPZ s perspective and product (1) EDAS distributes EGNOS data by terrestrial network in addition to the Satellite (GEO) broadcasting TPZ s interest in EDAS is in the possibility to develop innovative products/services for improving the robustness of existing applications and search for new applications/business models TPZ product ( - LoCation Server) deliver the following addedvalue services: Higher position accuracy even in case of GEO coverage limitation Enhanced accuracy up to 4 m (in various operational environments) Confidence/guarantee on the position (Protection level) with an availability 97 % (in life scenarios/real use cases) LCS is the result of TPZ R&D effort exhaustively proved in cooperation with several key players and users 6

7 TPZ s perspective and product (2) dynamic tests (*) LCS is a plug-in solution that easy retrofits Off-the-Shelf GPS tracking & tracing systems (*) Source: 7

8 for Dangerous Goods Transport: eni use case On-Board Control Center operated by eni (Leading Oil Company) 8

9 for Dangerous Goods Transport: Benefits for the users Higher position accuracy for enhanced risk management, security, prevention/statistics Confidence/guarantee on the position for a better control and transport quality contract/enforcement/liability check Commercial benefits SOME NUMBERS: Sensitive goods monitoring service will reduce cost related to transport administration by 5%, total number of HGV related road accidents by 0.2% and more information will lead to about 0.1% reduction in the costs of missing and delay goods (*) (*)Swedish study Assessment of Telematic Systems for Road Freight Transport, School of Computing Blekinge Institute of Technology Sweden 9

10 Italy for Dangerous Goods Transport: Today s facts and figures ITS Directive (Decree 1 February 2013): use of EGNOS/Galileo for systems tracking & tracing dangerous goods transport by road Apulia regional system presently under implementation Today operational on about 1200 tankers in Italy France Use of EGNOS/Galileo in the national reference project for tracking & tracing intermodal transport of dangerous goods (GEOTRANSMD) OTHER EU countries Extended to vehicles in Germany and in Switzerland and to the transport of aviation material (eni s transport operators) 10

11 ..from Truck to Containers.and to tankers Technology GPS+EGNOS OS and EDAS through LCS Two communications: GPRS/Sat communication (back-up) Remotely configurable polling rate Motion sensors At least 6 months autonomy at a polling rate of 1 fix/day Rechargeable batteries Exterior mounting with magnets or screws Business cases Special traffic and dual use goods (e.g. tobacco) Perishables High-value goods Terminal produced by our partner Novacom Services Size & weight 838mm 116mm 25mm 2.17Kg length width thick Weight 11

12 On Going activities Example of applicability beyond dangerous goods transport: container and tanker Containers traced across the Mediterranean area (up to Jordan) also to verify extension of the EGNOS coverage Implementation on-going for Road/Rail Tankers for dangerous goods Analysis of Multi-constellation benefits TPZ is investing in its product exploiting the added value of EGNOS OS and EDAS mainly for professional (B2B and B2I) markets in partnership with European key technologies partners gathering huge interest from users and institutions 12

14 EDAS: BACKUP SLIDES 14

15 EGNOS DESIGNED FOR AVIATION BUT EXTENDED TO ADDITIONAL SEVERAL DOMAINS 2012 EGNOS Data Access Service (EDAS) 2011 EGNOS Safety of Life (SoL) 2009 EGNOS Open Service (OS) 15

16 EGNOS OS added value static tests Well known EGNOS OS added value wrt GPS alone enhanced GPS position accuracy by approx. 3 metres free to users from the satellites open signal Consumer grade GNSS chip-sets on the market are SBAS enabled GPS GPS + EGNOS OS 16

17 TEST RESULTS: EDAS BASED SOLUTION (ACCURACY) In Urban Environment the visibility of EGNOS satellites is easily lost Using SBAS messages from EDAS and the vehicle raw data the differential solution could be computed along all the trial path Horizontal error (95%) = 1.6m 17

18 EGNOS OS / EDAS for tracking & tracing transport of dangerous goods Implementation path 2009: 2010: 2011: eni (a leading oil company) and Italy s Ministry of Transport validated EGNOS and considered EGNOS OS added value interesting for operational use eni started a step-wise adoption of EGNOS OS and EDAS for monitoring the tankers transporting dangerous goods in Italy Existing GPS-based tracking and tracing system retrofitted to use EDAS through LCS implementation of EU large-scale operations & standardization using EDAS 18

19 ..from Truck to Containers and to tankers Attractive market for value added applications: Size Interest from users Applications exploiting EGNOS Business cases benefitting from EGNOS EGNOS adding value to GPS today, and in preparation to Galileo Users need for: Traceability Precise, reliable and real-time information Wide coverage Cost-effectiveness Integration Good ITS penetration in worldwide fairly increasing (evolving towards interoperable systems Huge potential: Intermodal freight transport to quadruple by 2015* Various transport modalities (road, rail, maritime..) Different stakeholders/liability schemes in the supply chain Big players * source: OECD 19
