This document discusses traverse surveys which involve measuring angles and distances between survey points to determine their positions. It provides the objective of traverse surveys which is to find accurate positions of stations to serve as control points for mapping or construction layout. The results section shows the distances, angles, coordinate calculations and adjustments for a sample 4-point traverse with a closure of 0. The discussion explains the traverse calculations and adjustments to distribute errors. The conclusion states that traverse surveys are commonly used for construction site layout and boundary surveys, and errors can be adjusted or the survey repeated.
Surveying techniques are used to establish the position of objects in 2D or 3D. Primary surveys are done when no previous data exists, while secondary surveys add to existing data or measure changes. Plan position is determined through techniques like triangulation, trilateration, or offset measurements from baselines. Elevation is found by direct or inclined leveling between points of known height. Theodolites allow simultaneous measurement of horizontal angles, slopes, and slant distances.

Navigation success story, 15 years in the Vanguard of Galileo & GNSS Receiver...Space-Applications
Septentrio was spun off from IMEC in 2000 and has grown to 100 employees developing GNSS receivers. It has been a prime contractor for ESA on Galileo projects since 2001. Key milestones include developing the first PolaRx1 receiver in 2000, tracking the first Galileo signals in 2006, and securing major OEM contracts in 2008. Today Septentrio is a leading manufacturer of professional GNSS receivers for applications like surveying, machine control, and maritime navigation.
This paper presents the design and development of a customized low-cost GPS receiver to be tested on the PNSS-1 microsatellite. The GPS receiver is optimized to meet PNSS-1 requirements including positional accuracy better than 20m and update rate greater than 1 Hz. The receiver uses COTS components including an FPGA and consists of a front-end module and processing system. The front-end receives and digitizes GPS signals, while the processing system performs correlation, decoding, tracking and acquisition to determine satellite position and velocity information. Preliminary results suggest the design meets PNSS-1 specifications using space-graded components.

The document discusses the regulatory perspective on adopting GNSS (global navigation satellite systems) in rail systems. It notes that rail needs to innovate to remain competitive and that GNSS can help decrease costs and increase efficiency by providing train positioning without the need for trackside infrastructure. However, it also discusses technical challenges for GNSS in rail like signal interference and obscured signals. The document emphasizes that innovation and interoperability are not contradictory in rail, and that a compatible evolution of onboard systems is needed while ensuring safety throughout the innovation process.
The document summarizes a project by Rail Cargo Group to outfit rail cargo wagons with GPS and Galileo devices by the end of 2020, calling the wagons "smart things." The first GPS device was mounted on March 15, 2019. An IoT platform will integrate location data to enable use cases like tracking cargo locations, optimizing maintenance schedules, and providing customers with more information. Improving positioning accuracy in challenging rail environments can help boost efficiency in rail logistics.
The document discusses digital mapping and tracking technologies for rail transport. It describes how detailed digital maps of railways can help enforce safety rules and how tracking assets digitally can alert authorities if anything exits unauthorized. It also discusses how movement and coupling optimization can minimize accident risks and costs through predictive maintenance and automated train driving. The technologies aim to remove human error from logistics operations and reduce rail incident risks.
The document discusses coordinating R&D efforts towards including European GNSS signals within ERTMS rail signalling to: 1) satisfy end users by providing an interoperable and stable solution; 2) reduce ERTMS capital and operational costs; and 3) improve flexibility and attractiveness of ERTMS. It also describes gathering user requirements to feed into Galileo and EGNOS evolutions and promoting the use of E-GNSS for non-safety applications like cargo tracking and predictive maintenance.
The document discusses antitrust guidelines for a meeting between rail industry competitors on the X2Rail-2 and other Shift2Rail projects. It notes that while some collaboration is legal and beneficial, agreements between competitors that restrict competition are prohibited. It provides guidance on avoiding inappropriate topics of discussion like prices, production levels, customer relationships, costs and other sensitive business information. Participants are advised to adhere strictly to the published agenda and not use meetings to reach agreements that impair independent business judgment or competition.
This document summarizes a system suitability study called STEMS that assessed the use of GNSS (global navigation satellite systems) for train positioning in the European Rail Traffic Management System (ERTMS). The study was led by NSL and aimed to: (1) review requirements for virtual balise detection using GNSS in ERTMS; (2) assess the suitability of current SBAS (satellite-based augmentation systems) for ERTMS with virtual balise detection; and (3) propose a methodology for a safety case for SBAS use in ERTMS virtual balise applications. The study found that SBAS can provide fault detection and improved accuracy for train positioning compared to GNSS alone.
The document describes the SIA project which aims to develop four new services to provide prognostic health information for railway assets. The services will integrate sensors on vehicles to monitor wheel-rail and pantograph-catenary interaction, a data hub for positioning and communications, degradation models, and a visualization platform. This will allow early detection of issues like wheel flats or broken rails to support maintenance planning by infrastructure managers and train operating companies.
The ERSAT project aims to develop and certify an ERTMS solution using GNSS technology for low-density rail lines in Italy. The goals are to reduce maintenance costs by 30% by replacing older signaling systems with ERTMS, and deploy ERTMS nationwide by 2035. ERSAT has developed and tested satellite-based ERTMS technologies and defined a 2017-2023 master plan to activate a first commercial line by 2020 using public augmentation services, upgrade an existing line, and standardize solutions through European cooperation. Certification guidelines have been established and experts are involved to certify the satellite-based ERTMS solution for commercial operations.

10. How to acess EGNOS SIS
To receive the EGNOS signal, an EGNOS compatible receiver (also called SBAS receiver
or WAAS receiver) is required. It is like a GPS receiver but with special software
enabling the receiver to lock onto the EGNOS satellites and apply the EGNOS
corrections to the GPS signal. Today, most of the commercial GPS receivers provide
EGNOS capability.

13. EGNOS in mapping, why choosing it?
• Surveyors and mappers can mount GPS +EGNOS on vehicles to
allow rapid, accurate data collection. Some of these systems
communicate wirelessly with reference receivers to deliver
continuous, real-time, centimeter-level accuracy and
unprecedented productivity gains
• GPS +EGNOS supports the accurate mapping and modeling of the
physical world — from mountains and rivers to streets and buildings
to utility lines and other resources.
• Features measured with GPS +EGNOS can be displayed on maps
and in geographic information systems (GIS) that store, manipulate,
and display geographically referenced data.
14. 95% accuracy using the SIS
EGNOS Open Service provides an improved GPS accuracy.
In this performance assessment, accuracy for surveying/ mapping is reported as
the 95th percentile of the Horizontal Navigation System Error (HNSE) and Vertical
Navigations System Error (VNSE) over the month.

19. Commercial Service*:
Key points
Advantages of Galileo
CS signals
High Accuracy (CS-HA): receiver positioning accuracy with an
error below one decimetre.
Key feature: broadcast external data in real time across the
globe (PPP – Precise Point Positioning);
Triple frequency – faster convergence time
Authentication (CS-Auth): ability to provide a level of trust to
users in that they are utilising signals and data from actual
satellites and not from any other source (anti-spoofing).
• CS aims to provide service which go above and beyond that of the Open Service
• CS to offer added-value service that can be exploited via a revenue-sharing mechanism with private sector
• Based on GALILEO E6 CS signal & the encryption feature
• Provides better navigation performances
• Used in combination with the existing Galileo Open Service signals
• Ideal for professional market and for critical infrastructure (with higher robustness requirements)
