Future of IALA DGNSS
| Abstract: | The IALA beacon system has been adopted as the international, maritime standard for providing differential corrections to GNSS. Many maritime authorities have had operational DGNSS services in place for some years, others are planning or implementing them. Satellite Based Augmentation Systems (SBAS), such as WAAS and EGNOS are now becoming operational and are being promoted for maritime use. There are other ways of providing differential services, including Automatic Identification Systems (AIS), Real Time Kinematic (RTK), Eurofix and pseudolites. This paper considers the suitability of the different systems, including the cost benefit arguments for the various ways of meeting the basic demands of a safety related navigation system in the maritime field. The potential for development of the IALA beacon service is assessed, based on studies carried out. These include provisions for incorporating Galileo and GPS L2C services. Different options for reengineering the system are considered and conclusions are drawn about the essential requirements for the future GNSS augmentation service for maritime applications. |
