FEGNOS

The main objective of this research project is to measure the availability, continuity and accuracy of GPS vs. GPS + EGNOS in all FinnRef GNSS stations during a one-year time frame (2015-2016) as well as preparing for continuous monitoring of EGNOS performance in Finland... The European Geostationary Navigation Overlay Service (EGNOS) is the first European operated satellite navigation system and is a precursor to Galileo, the full Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) under development by Europe. At present, EGNOS augments the US GPS satellite navigation system and makes it suitable for safety critical applications such as flying aircraft or navigating ships through narrow channels. EGNOS can also support new applications in many different sectors such as agriculture (for high-precision spraying of fertilizers), transport (enabling automatic road-tolling or pay-per-use insurance schemes) [1] or even precise personal navigation services for general and specific usage.
