providing professional training and consultancy services

3 About INTREC The International Transport Research Center, INTREC was founded in 2008 in Alexandria,Egypt, for providing professional training and consultancy services mainly for maritime Transport and safety of navigation worldwide.

assessment and investigation of accident.

4 INTREC organizes conferences, seminars, Exhibitions and training courses relation to the International Transport. INTREC, provide quality technical reports for assessment and investigation of accident. INTREC is trusted for monitor the quality of information and performance of the navigational aids.

5 To serve transportation communities, at sea, air, roads, and river transportation, through providing training services, Seminars, workshops, and conferences, local and international. INTREC focuses on development Human Resources as means to achieve strategic objective and explore new growth opportunities

6 Our values Integrity Honesty: to carry out duties and interact with stakeholders with honestly and integrity.

8 About AIN The Arab Institute of Navigation (AIN) is a Nongovernmental, Nonprofit Scientific Organization (NGO) established in 1978 in Egypt gathering international members for navigation and its related science. AIN is an active member of the International Association of Institute of Navigation (IAIN) and a remarkable institute among operational international and local bodies in the field of maritime industry work closely with (IMO) and (ICAO) and (ILO) aims to foster human activities at sea, in the air, in the space and land that may benefit from the development of the science and practice of navigation.

9 AIN participated in many projects: - European MEDA1 project regards GNSS in MEDA countries ( ), MLC (2006) and other local studies in this region. AIN organizes international conferences and seminars featuring the best academic research in navigation and publishes the Semi Annual Scientific Journal, introduced by experts focused on the developments in Navigation and its related technologies.

11 Description of the Project Idea The idea of the study is based on measuring position accuracy for at least 3 specific positions in deferent palaces in Egypt by using each GPS, DGPS & EGNOS receivers and these specific positions are premeasured by scientific way.

12 Also these specific positions are on a measured distance from RIMS station located in Alexandria city.

special software to assess the inland position accuracy for each

13 The collected data which will contain positions and HDOP No. for each specific position in several times will be analysed by special software to assess the inland position accuracy for each unit alone also to draw inland contour accuracy map for GPS, DGPS, EGNOS.

14 Also assess reception of GPS/DGPS/EGNOS signal within the Egyptian land. The analysed collected data will assess to measure local DGPS and EGNOS coverage.

Justification/relevance to country s priorities We expect

field of land, GIS, river navigation, rail ways, tracking

This requires the establishment of new RIMS to enhance

15 Justification/relevance to country s priorities We expect that increasing uses and applications of GNSS in the field of land, GIS, river navigation, rail ways, tracking and communications applications in the coming years. This requires the establishment of new RIMS to enhance those applications and promising market in Egypt and central Africa.

16 EGNOS added value Seasonal chart for EGNOS accuracy/coverage will be published for users. Estimated required resources Devices/tools/instruments (HW and SW) Effort from the proposing entity

17 Main outcomes Full information on daily and seasonal effects on GPS/DGPS/EGNOS performance over the implemented area.

Estimated implementation timeline/planning 3 months preparation, purchasing of equipment, recruiting and training of the staff. One month soft operation and amendments if necessary.

18 Estimated implementation timeline/planning 3 months preparation, purchasing of equipment, recruiting and training of the staff. One month soft operation and amendments if necessary. Full operation for the time of MEDUSA with, - Collecting data, observations and anonymous of GNSS/EGNOS signals disruption interferences and outages. - Analysing data, sorting out for possible reasons. - Sending out periodical reports (every three months) to GEMCO. - The project time can be extended for continued operation beyond the MEDUSA time span as a GEMCO permanent service for GNSS/EGNOS users.

19 Previous related experiences (heritage, forerunner projects/initiatives, etc.) Frequently involved in higher studies researches and projects of similar kind.
