Abstract

Nowadays (July 2016) we can distinguish four modes of transport – air, maritime, rail and road. In each mode the continuous knowledge of the current user’s position is one of the most important parameters of safety and economy of the transport. The information about position can be obtained from satellite navigation systems SNS (GPS, GLONASS) and based augmentation systems SBAS (WAAS, EGNOS, MSAS, GAGAN). Two next global SNSs and one SBAS are under construction. This paper gives the reply to some questions: in which mode these systems are the most frequently used and why, which system is preferred in separate mode and individual region of the world, which kind of the receiver, one or more systems, are most popular. The comparison of SNSs applications, the capability of SNS receivers and supported constellations by theses receivers and additionally the detailed analysis of SNS receiver survey designed for each mode of transport are presented in this paper also.
