Findings of a Jordanian Customs’ trial of the European Global Navigation Satellite Systems (E-GNSS) and EGNOS (the European Geostationary Navigation Overlay Service which corrects GNSS errors to improve accuracy and security) are to be presented at a special event in Amman. The trial evaluated the system for tracking and tracing containers shipped across the Mediterranean Sea and the vehicles transporting the goods in Jordan.
This study is the first real-life experience of EGNOS services in the Euromed countries which comprise Algeria, Egypt, Israel, Jordan, Lebanon, Libya, Morocco, Palestine, Syria and Tunisia. Participants will hear about the lessons learnt from the Jordanian trial as well as best practices in Europe and in the Euromed region.
Attendees to the free event will also be able to contribute to a debate about strategies and possible ways forward, in the light of national and regional interests.
The event is being organised by MEDUSA (the Mediterranean follow-up for EGNOS adoption) with the involvement of the Jordan Customs and the Ministry of Transport of Jordan and will take place on 21 October.
MEDUSA is part of the EU Euromed Transport Programme and promotes the use of E-GNSS, including the ITS sectors, in the Euromed countries.
