User feedbacks from lead users experiencing M-TRADEService access very easy to use, no huge training effort
Complete approach over Europe and for all sectors of a multimodal chain
Usefulness of the services with respect to service quality and liability
Identified benefits: economical, operational, strategic
Key service enablers:
>Appropriate regulations to stimulate use of GNSS
>Self-powered and robust OBU (to minimise human intervention and maintenance)
>Communication network reliability and operative costs (especially for roaming)
>Access and sharing commercial data from different operators
Barriers:
>Lack of awareness of big potential users
>Not clear service cost
>Lack of international standards
>Slow regulatory processes
Suggestions:
>Extension to other services

Continuous monitoring, route deviation and load/unload status checking
Goods monitoring within Ports and “certified” goods border crossing notifications
Risk Management
Dynamic information concerning the position and load/unload status combined with presently used static declarations (Pre-Arrival and Pre-Departure) for improvement of security and environmental protections
Mobile Workforces Management/Support
Location sensitive information to border guards, such as shortest path between the current position and the position of the goods to be inspected

> Short (2010) and medium-long (2015-2020) terms
Key actions for M-TRADE way forward:
> Technical realisation
> Business development
> Standards development
> Regulatory framework
> Institutional actions
Page 16 Final Conference, Rome (Italy), 21st March 2007
M-TRADE Way Forward (2/3)
Technical realisation:
> Further RTD researches based on demonstration results
> Wider experimentation in other transport applications (Regulated application domains)
> Real-life pilot demonstration involving commercial actors and the institutional segment
> Introduction of EGNOS and Galileo certified/guaranteed products and services
Business development - Promotion, Supporting co-operations and partnerships, Consolidation of business models and service provisioning schemes
Standards development - Establishment of worldwide standardization processes, Development of reference ITS architectures
Regulatory framework
Institutional actions
Page 17 Final Conference, Rome (Italy), 21st March 2007
M-TRADE Way Forward (3/3)
Public mandates for Regulatory framework and Institutional actions
> Promoting the definition of measures towards GNSS use: Regulations for safety and liability (such as guaranteed “service performance” policy) Procedures harmonisation and standardisation (One-stop administrative shopping and
“Common European Maritime Space”) Green-lanes Debts Guarantee regimes eCustoms
> Stimulating Common Strategies, and synergies among Countries independent efforts (such as National ITS Strategic Plans)
> Establishment of ad-hoc anti-trust legislation for avoiding market limitation/distortion
> Definition and set-up of organisational models, for commercial sensitive data access (rules for data flow and exchange among institutional and commercial actors)
> Supporting users technology investments
> Continuing the work on the Green Paper on Satellite Navigation Applications
> Definition of a practical “roadmap”
Page 18 Final Conference, Rome (Italy), 21st March 2007
Conclusions
M-TRADE identified and validated in real feasibility cases EGNOS/Galileo opportunities for the Freight Transport Community
Other interesting applications were identified
Regulated applications are very promising domains
Actions are required to pave the way for a concrete progressive GNSS implementation, towards:
Operative use
Service commercialisation

Requirement for the user terminal : availability and continuity of EGNOS accuracy (and integrity support) through the reception of SISNET messages
EGNOS TRAN conclusions demonstrated the minimal impact of network delay (2-3 secs using GPRS) on position accuracy
Necessity of interfacing the GPS receiver of the M-Trade user terminal to the SISNET service
Needed implementation of a EGNOS to RTCM conversion into the OBU.
Computation of a corrected position is demanded to the GPS board (but Protection Levels may also be computed by the OBU)
The core of the processing is a specialized algorithm of the SW running into the Telespazio Navigation Gateway
