Requirements of a Reference Measurement System for the Analysis of GPS Measurement Quality

Emerging safety relevant applications in the traffic domain using satellite-based localization demand a verification of measurement quality. In contrast to today's standard approaches the verification of GPS localization for traffic applications has to be conducted under dynamic conditions. For this purpose requirements for an appropriate road-traffic measurement setup, based on the attributes of a formalized concept of quality. It is shown that this measurement set-up complies with the predefined quality requirements. Future localization systems like Galileo are to be verified by such a reference system.
