GIROADS in a nutshell
GIROADS (GNSS Introduction in the ROAD Sector), a 24-month project commissioned by the European GNSS Supervisory Authority (GSA) with funds from the European Commission's 6th Framework Programme for Research and Technology Development, aggregates the road and GNSS communities' proposals to facilitate the technical and commercial introduction of Europe’s satellite navigation programme to the road transport sector.
The road sector represents one of the largest mass markets for GNSS technology applications both in terms of number of users and business volume with a continuous growth of demand expected in the next decade. The underlying philosophy behind the GIROADS project is that a number of key applications have the potential to become enablers of transport policy as a whole while giving rise to commercially viable service provision schemes of interest to a wide range of stakeholders. These applications are being individually analysed to understand user requirements, assess the existing regulatory framework and build a realistic market study that can serve as a reference to the sector.
GIROADS bases its technical programme on an architecture which associates existing components previously developed under GJU-funded research projects (ADvantis, VeRT and SCORE) within an open, robust and scalable system which can support application-specific service centres through a common technical structure.
