Description
Description of the Requirement
The objective of this work is to better understand the Positioning, Navigation and Timing (PNT) infrastructure requirements for next-generation transportation systems. Results will support a whole of government strategy for Canadian PNT/GNSS infrastructure investment through the PNTB.
- Define service level requirements (integrity, availability, continuity, accuracy) and analyze performance levels for highly automated systems by transportation mode; rail, marine, road, and aviation (non-commercial).
- Define target network coverage requirements in terms of station density and any metrics used to define triggers for network expansion (e.g, population density, equipment redundancy, station redundancy, client requirements for station expansion)
- Conduct a standards assessment analysis while cataloging development timelines in jurisdictions specified in section 3.
- Map the industry stakeholders and technologies available as they deliver service levels in objective a. required for optimal performance & equal economic opportunity across all of Canada.
- Conduct primary and secondary research with identified stakeholders in order to characterize the pros and cons of varying technology approaches with a key focus on delivery methods communications links, security (e.g., of receivers, servers and station IT infrastructure), & scalability.
- Develop detailed specifications and rough order of magnitude costing for the potential expansion and investment of Canadian infrastructure to meet the technology requirements observed in objective a. above. With a key focus on gaps & strategic investment to maximise investment dollars.
- Identify what ways that the Government of Canada or other levels of government could enable or accelerate the development PNT infrastructure to meet industry needs. e.g., would government hosted sites help?
- Recommend a national operation model looking into the future for highly accurate Canadian positioning service infrastructure.
