Understanding PHMI for Safety of life applications in GNSS
نویسندگان
چکیده
Future satellite navigation systems (like Galileo) intend to provide safety-of-life services, or at least a form of integrity information. Integrity is characterized by the Probability of Hazardously Misleading Information, which is the probability that a user might exceed a certain error level (either fixed are variable). This definition, however, is incomplete, as it does not specify what is assumed to be known when computing this probability. The goal of this work is to offer an interpretation of the PHMI, point out some of the difficulties encountered in the proof of safety, and finally suggest possible future changes in the system design to mitigate these difficulties.

Concerns over the accuracy, availability, integrity and continuity of Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) have limited the integration of GPS and GLONASS for safety-critical applications. More recent augmentation systems, such as the European Geostationary Navigation Overlay Service (EGNOS) and the North American Wide Area Augmentation System (WAAS) have begun to address these concerns. ...

Future Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) like GALILEO or the modernised GPS will support “Safety of Life” (SoL) applications by the self-monitoring of the GNSS performance and by the provision of integrity information in dedicated services. The International Maritime Organisation (IMO A.915(22)) requires horizontal positioning accuracies better than 10 m in oceanic and coastal areas. I...

متن کاملApplications of Essential Oils in Food Preservation
Many food products are perishable by nature and require protection from spoilage during their preparation, storage and distribution to give them desired shelf-life. Because food products are now often sold in areas of the world far distant from their production sites, the need for extended safe shelf-life for these products has also expanded. Currently, there is a strong debate about the safety...
