Results of the European Multi-Modal Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) Cost Benefit Analysis (CBA)

Andrew Nelson, Stephane Juillard

Abstract:	This paper presents a summary of the results of the 36 country European Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) Cost Benefit Analysis (CBA) project recently completed on behalf of the European Commission, Directorate General VII – Transport (EC DG VII). The paper briefly presents the scope of the project, the methodology which was followed, and the CBA results for the civil aviation, railways, professional road and maritime operators in the 36 countries, most of which are represented in the European Civil Aviation Conference (ECAC). Five main scenarios were evaluated, including: terrestrial systems with only US Global Positioning System (GPS-only), Long range navigation (LORAN) with GNSS augmentation (Eurofix), European Geostationary Navigation Overlay System (EGNOS), European-only GNSS, and global second generation GNSS (GNSS-2). The CBA results are also weighted based upon a high level risk analysis considering implementation risks associated with each scenario. The weighted analysis results are then harmonized to recommend a final GNSS transition solution for Europe with enabling recommendations.
