The numerous services offered by the integration of GNSS (Global

Navigation Satellite Systems) into transport have a great potential for

improving transport efficiency, which is a key priority for the European

Union. Therefore, GNSS-based value-added services (VAS) have an important

role to play in the transport domain, where strong demand already exists

and the development of positioning systems based on Galileo seems

promising and may lead to a significant market for commercial

applications.

VAST aimed to evaluate the expected benefits of commercial application of

GNSS in transport, with an emphasis on road and multi-modal transport.

Specific objectives were to identify the main existing and future

commercial applications, assess their potential market, and propose and

assess cost recovery schemes and public private partnerships (PPP) models.
