SCUTUM - SeCUring the EU GNSS adopTion in the dangeroUs Material transport

EGNOS/Galileo for tracking and tracing the transport of dangerous goods by road

2° call 7 FP – Transport/Aeronautics, E-GNSS services for professional applications

Total cost ~ 2,24 M€; EC funding ~ 1,4 M€

~ 2 years, February 2010 - December 2011

Project team:

11 members, 4 EU countries

Covering the value chain of EGNOS/Galileo applications

Representatives from user community, Authorities, Standardization bodies

Coordinated by Telespazio2

SCUTUM’s rationales:

Need of exploiting EGNOS benefits in professional markets

Searching for products/business models based on EGNOS

Road as a priority market for EGNOS

Transport of dangerous goods (regulated applications) possibly benefitting from EGNOS added

value

Heritages from previous public efforts/private investments (e.g. best practices,

technologies/products)

Convergence with the EU ITS Directive’ timing

SCUTUM’s answers:

Concrete use cases

Conveying best practices based on GPS into E-GNSS

Use of technology ready for EGNOS today and preparing for Galileo

Easy retrofitting of existing (GPS-based) technology

Proven solution into large-scale operation

Involvement of key players (decision-makers, main users and relevant technology providers)

Extending in Europe an Italian best practice

Cross-border implementation in neighbouring countries (France and Austria)

Standardization

GPS + EGNOSGPS

GPS + EGNOS OS + EDAS – added value for the users:

Accurate position information

Confidence/guarantee on the position for a better control

Higher position accuracy for enhanced risk management,

prevention/statistics

Commercial benefits

Increased safety

5

SCUTUM’s implementation path:

2009:

eni and Italy’s Ministry of Transport validated EGNOS and considered

EGNOS OS added value interesting for operational use

2010:

eni started a step-wise adoption of EGNOS OS and EDAS for monitoring the

tankers transporting dangerous goods in Italy

Existing GPS systems retrofitted to use EGNOS through Telespazio LCS (for the

use of EDAS)

2011:

Implementation of EU large-scale operations

Launching/supporting standardization6

Two typologies: Baseline and Slim

SCUTUM’s products:

7

∼ 300 operational

tankers transporting

hydrocarbon and

chemical in Europe

(in 2011)

Today operational

SCUTUM’s operations:

8

SCUTUM’s standardization:

CWA 16390: EU CEN technical specification/standard for the development of

solutions/products/services based on EDAS

(ftp://ftp.cen.eu/CEN/Sectors/List/ICT/CWAs/CWA16390.pdf)

Endorsed by EU stakeholders from industries, institutions and research sector

Enabling the development of products and applications based on the EDAS

Compliant with the guidelines of the UNECE/OTIF WG on telematics for dangerous goods

Applicable to ITS and mobility applications

Validated by MEDDE, MIT, eni and ERF

Today adopted in Italy and France

9

SCUTUM’s outlook:

Extension to freight transport/asset tracking/logistics (customs/security), on-going

Extension to rail transport of dangerous goods, under development

Galileo/multiconstellation

10

SCUTUM’s lessons learnt:

Alignment with national priorities having a key role

National entry points acting as facilitators (users, institutions, technology players)

Standardization and certification, as needed

EU coordination and harmonisation nurturing the implementation at large-scale

EU policies & action plans creating the window of opportunity for EGNOS

11

SCUTUM’s win-win factors:

Commitment towards common interests

Cooperation with main users and relevant technology providers, for:

Guiding technology development and benefits validation

User-driven solutions exploiting EGNOS added value

Benefits validation/gradual introduction in sustainable business cases

Flexibility of the technology solution

Involvement of institutions to support the implementation of best practices
