• H2020 research and development actions for EGNSS Mission and
Services (MAS) study how to improve already defined services (e.g.
EGNOS Data Access Service) and how to develop new services (e.g.
Galileo Emergency Warning Service, EGNOS High Accuracy Service,
EGNOS service for road application) that would bring benefits for
users.
• The study about the “use of EGNOS for paying-critical and liability-
critical applications in the road sector” will be fully financed by the
European Commission (EC) under the H2020 framework
programme for research and innovation, within the budget
allocated to the evolution of EGNOS mission
• The European GNSS Agency (GSA) will be in charge of the technical
supervision of the study on behalf of the EC.
Framework of the call for
tenders
5

6. Note that the information contained in this presentation is for information purposes only and does not replace or supersede the one published in the Tender Specifications.
Some applications in the road sector exploiting the position with a liability-
sensitive function are emerging in Europe:
• Pay-As-You-Drive (PAYD) insurances  premiums to be paid by the
policyholders are dependent on how much, where and when the road
user drives
• Pay-How-You-Drive (PHYD) insurances  premiums to be paid by the
policyholders are depended on how the road user drives
New applications will emerge in the coming years: reconstruction of
accidents, road traffic congestion monitoring, etc.
Context in road sector
6
Those that involve a payment based on actual use or exploit the position with a
regulated or liability sensitive function may have specific needs from E-GNSS and in
particular from EGNOS.

7. Note that the information contained in this presentation is for information purposes only and does not replace or supersede the one published in the Tender Specifications.
Role of E-GNSS in road sector
7
Liability and payment-critical applications are highly sensitive to undetected large
navigation errors since significant legal or economic consequences for the service or
application provider may occur. In fact, a mismatch of the vehicle’s current speed
together with erroneous position data may impact the user charging associated with
the driving paths, skills and habits of the road user.
It becomes very difficult for end users to claim that they are being overcharged or
for service providers to avoid undercharging their customers.

• Unfair-inaccurate user charging -> In Hungary 1000+ penalties
are issued per month due to incorrect declarations / Per
segments instead of real distance or real time
• Difficult for end users to claim when overcharged and service
providers when undercharging.
• Difficult to legally use PNT data for accident reconstruction
after accidents
• SBAS DFMC solution can be added without significant
additional cost to devices used for payment-critical application.

Questions (1/2)
24

25. Note that the information contained in this presentation is for information purposes only and does not replace or supersede the one published in the Tender Specifications.
There are some US insurance companies such as “MetroMile” or “Progressive”
already charging users based on their distance, speed, time, driving behaviour, etc.
• Are you managing or carrying on any specific study addressing the topic?
• What type of device do they use? Do they use a multi-sensor device? Is it
specific for the application? Do they also use map matching? Is the device
standardised or certified? In case they are not, are there any future plans to
standardise or certify the receivers?
• Do you expect more stringent requirements (accuracy, availability, etc. ) or new
ones (robustness) for Galileo or EGNOS?
• These policies generally do not track user locations. Is there any measure to
ensure the privacy of user information and this information is not shared with
third parties without authorisation?
