Abstract

This chapter describes how an augmentation system can support a GNSS receiver of a vehicle (more in general a mobile object) in the PL evaluation. Since this approach has been firstly adopted in aviation, and it is already operative in some airports, we will describe a generic LAAS architecture, as a typical example of a GBAS, tailored to improve the performance of a GNSS receiver in terms of accuracy and integrity. The major components and features of LAAS will be detailed.
