A system to provide to different users with information about position
coordinates of remote mobile vehicles or individuals (mobile agent)
guarantying that each particular position data, as it is provided to the
user, is within certain error boundaries. The system is composed by a
number of mobile units (MU) installed at the mobile agents and a Central
Platform (CP). The MU consists of a GPS/SBAS and/or a Galileo navigation
receiver that includes specific autonomous integrity algorithms and a
transceiver to transmit GPS/SBAS and/or Galileo derived data to the CP.
The CP receives data from MU and enhances position estimation and
position integrity. Integrity is guaranteed by the use of a GNSS
Integrity service (either provided by SBAS or Galileo) and specific
autonomous integrity algorithms that ensure the position integrity in
non-controlled environments. The CP provides access to MUs position data
to multiple Users via Internet or dedicated telecommunications links.
Integrity guarantee of provided position data allows the Users to employ
provided position data for legal or commercial purposes where
auditability and traceability of position error is required. Besides the
support of multiple Users on a single MU allows for the provision of
different types of position based services based on the same mobile
device.
