Overview
Background & policy context:
The global navigation satellite system (GNSS) serves applications for almost all modes of transport but also is used for positioning purposes by other user communities. At present, it is the American and Russian satellite-based systems that constitute the core of GNSS. Although these two core systems have a wide range of applications, some user communities have identified the need for a service offering improved performance in terms of accuracy, availability and integrity.
Objectives:
MUSSST aimed to help the different user communities that are considering the use of GNSS for their specific applications to authorise its operational use.
The main objectives have been to provide:
- to provide a methodology for validation of the use of GNSS for all modes of transport;
- to apply the general methodology to first and second generation systems for each mode of transport
- to make recommendations for overcoming obstacles to the use of the methodology, and provide the specifications for any validation tools.
