Assessment of end-to-end performances of a GNSS-based road user charging system based on IFSTTAR-GEOLOC and Q-Free cooperation

The paper deals with the issues that have to be faced when researching a Road User Charging (RUC) in Norway based upon GNSS and with an innovative methodology especially developed to address these issues proposed by CEN-CENELEC TC5/WG1 and supported by the SaPPART COST Action. The paper presents a case study applying the methodology to a specific RUC algorithm developed by the Norwegian company Q-Free. A dedicated GNSS position error model has been produced by Ifsttar GEOLOC for this purpose.
