Spirent offers GPS simulation systems for transport applications that are widely used in telematics and in-vehicle navigation testing.

GPS transport satellite navigation is becoming an essential element of many projects, from in-vehicle navigation systems to the tracking of rail rolling stock and control of rail signalling, right through to the docking of super tankers. The availability of future GNSS navigation systems coupled with a wish to remove some of the safety risks based on human intervention is driving research towards an automated, systematic solution based on multiple technologies working together. This in turn is driving requirements for innovative test solutions based on repeatable, controllable GPS/GNSS test platforms.

Many projects in this sector are complex and involve multiple data sources plus they have safety and commercial objectives to satisfy. In addition, there are few standard approaches to performance definition or test approaches.

In many transport sector projects, GPS (and/or Galileo and GLONASS) forms only one element of the complete system or application. The selection of suitable navigation and positioning GNSS receiver technology is often the first question that our customers face. Other key questions include how to integrate the GNSS engine with other sensors and augmentation systems, plus how to decide on and evaluate, overall system and application level approaches.

Spirent has wide experience of helping companies in this sector understand their test issues and the best approach to testing. Our GNSS simulation systems range from simple to sophisticated and cover GPS and Multi-GNSS testing. However, all share our commitment to technical excellence, quality and reliability so that you can rely on the results you get while benefiting from Spirent’s 20 plus years as specialists in GNSS testing.
