Geopositioning and Mobility (PDF)

This book presents a general overview of the applications and
use of geopositioning and GNSS for assisting the supervision and
management of mobile terrestrial professions, information, traffic
regulation, multimodal information, pedestrian mobility and indoor
geopositioning, etc. It especially focuses on the field of mobility
and terrestrial transport, the automotive industry and tourism (on
foot, by bicycle or motorcycle, by car, by professional vehicles or
by public transport, etc.). This book explores the many
possibilities, developmental and organizational factors, as well as
new paradigms, which will contribute to an essential part of
GNSS's civil economy, especially to Galileo in the mid-term
and to Egnos in the short-term.

Several of GNSS's integration structuring aspects in
sustainable terrestrial mobilities will be analyzed; for example in
terms of system architecture, data safety or legal constraints.
Numerous diverse points of view will be presented regarding
subjects such as dynamic cartography and new computing
architectures of: mobility systems, interconnection, service
quality, regulation or supervision functions of individual
freedoms.
