Integrated GNSS and Mobile Communication Terminal - NAVCOM
|
The main task of the NAVCOM project is the integration
of a GPS/EGNOS receiver into an existing TETRAPOL mobile
communication unit. This Integrated Terminal (IT) will supply
the actual and valorised position information via the
TETRAPOL communication network to an Automatic Vehicle Location (AVL) Server. A user
is able to track and guide several IT's on an AVL
display and communicate with them via the voice and
data channel of the TETRAPOL system. The navigation
module acquires assisted GPS and assisted
EGNOS information via the communication system in
case that the clear view to the satellites is obstructed.

The key issues of the Integrated GNSS and Mobile Communication Terminal project are:
- design and prototyping of a GPS/EGNOS module
- integration of the navigation module into the communication system
- provision of valorised position information to an AVL system
- provision of assisted EGNOS and assisted GPS information via the communication network
- demonstration of the system benefits for safety and security applications
