7. Rail market trends and drivers
• Global GNSS penetration growing steadily, mainly for non safety of life applications like asset
management or passenger information systems
• Outside Europe, due to different safety requirements, GNSS is starting to penetrate also in
train positioning for signaling (PTC, KLUB-U, proprietary solutions for private lines)
• Global harmonization of railway signaling (e.g. ERTMS, PTC)
• Cost benefit Analysis for GNSS based railway signaling is very positive: industry needs further
support to include E-GNSS into the technical specifications for signaling and train control

GNSS penetration*
*: GNSS penetration is defined as installed base of GNSS devices relative to the installed base that would prevail if every addressable user was fully equipped
8. EGNSS value propositionSignallingLogisticsLow density lines

Improve precision and availability of positioning for on board PIS
9. Role of EGNOS in Rail
The future:
EGNOS V3 under development, offering multifrequency/multiconstellationaugmentation, will further improve accuracy and reliability of the positioning information
EGNOS is key for safety relevant railway applications!
integritydelivered by EGNOS is the enabler of GNSS based positioning in railway signalling
accuracy improved by EGNOS is offering improved precision of positioning for free, which can further contribute to efficiency of train localisation in ERTMS
Due to the difficult rail environment, any safety relevant GNSS based solution must be complemented by additional sensors to cover availability gaps
10. Challenges for EGNOS
Railway stakeholders need to define requirements in the difficult railway environment
UNISIG is working on defininguser requirements with the support of GSA
Unlike in Aviation, railway is suffering multipath effects and signal outages (cuttings, tunnels, urban canyons)
Minimum requirements on GNSS are difficult to define. There is a need for and require additional performance testing to be conducted by railway experts with the support of the satellite industry
Results of FP7 projects addressing the issue of additional sensor integration (ex. odometer, eddy current sensor) are available for railway experts
11. Objectivedevelopment of a safety relevant satellite based on- board train localisation unit to be used on low density railway lines
EGNOS relevance GaLoROIis using EGNOS to provide integrity and increased positioning accuracy in combination with Eddy current sensors
R&D -Low density line signalling Project name: GaLoROI
12. Objectivedevelopment and demonstration of innovative GNSS Safety of Life rail application for the train control, speed supervision, traffic control and traffic management of UIC-E lines (low density lines)
EGNOS relevance The innovative conception of safely integrated signalling, train control and traffic management is based on integrity powered by EGNOS
R&D -Low density line signallingProject name: SATLOC
13. Objectives
verification of the suitability of EGNSS (including EGNOS and Galileo early services) for safety railway application for low density lines
definition and development of safe localization of trains based on EGNSS, aiming at harmonization with ERTMS specifications
R&D efforts continue in H2020
A new H2020 projectwill leverage the achievements of FP7 and pave the way for inclusion of E-GNSS into future evolutions of ERTMS
14. High level strategic roadmap: where we want to be
Safety relevant
•E-GNSS used for train positioning and odometryin ERTMS
•E-GNSS adoptedas one of the key elements of the train command and control solutionsenabling safe and efficient operations on low density lines
Non Safety relevant
•Railas a key player in the future European multimodal transport
•Multi-constellation use of E-GNSSfor multimodal logistics
