SaPPART Guidelines: Assessment of positioning performance in ITS applications

This deliverable, entitled guidelines, is the third outcome of SaPPART COST Action, a European network of scientists and stakeholders that aims to promote smart use of GNSS technology in the field of intelligent road transport and mobility. It discusses the performance assessment of the GNSS-based Positioning terminals (GBPT), which is generally under the responsibility of the system integrators in the road market of GNSS. The aim of this document is to provide guidelines for generic test procedures for the evaluation of GBPT performance, either by field tests, simulations or their combination, compliant with the concepts and the definitions already established in the SaPPART White Paper (TMI 1) and Handbook (TMI 2). The document is intended to provide the reader with a helpful tool for planning the GBPT testing procedures by both discussing the testing in general and by providing some detailed practical information.
