More specifically, an analysis is done to investigate the impacts of different routing policies on the end-to-end delay, and a general model describing the delays is developed. All considerations are based on a Galileo-like satellite constellation network and real global flight data of all commercial flights during one day I.

The system has been developed in the consortium of the European research project myEcoCost and forms a basis of a new, highly automated environmental accounting system für companies and consumers. The prototype of the system, linked to financial accounting of companies, was developed and tested in close collaboration with large and small companies. This brochure gives a brief introduction to the vision linked to myEcoCost: a network formed by collaborative environmental accounting nodes collecting environmental data at each step in a product's value chains. It shows why better life cycle data are needed and how myEcoCost addresses and solves this problem. Furthermore, it presents options for a future upscaling of highly automated environmenal accounting for prodcuts and services.

The ABSOLUTE project focused on designing, prototyping and demonstrating a high-capacity IP mobile data network with low latency and large coverage suitable for many forms of multimedia delivery including public safety scenarios. The ABSOLUTE project combines aerial, terrestrial and satellites communication networks for providing an robust standalone system able to delivering resilience communication systems. This article focuses on describing the main outcomes of the ABSOLUTE project in terms of network and system architecture, regulations and implementation of the Aerial Base Stations, Portable Land Mobile Units, Satellite Backhauling, S-MIM Satellite Messaging and Multimode User Equipment.

Shipboard broadcast transponders based on the automatic identification system (AIS) can be easily detected close to coast or waterway areas. Satellite-based AIS receivers detect globally but are limited in high density traffic areas. In this paper, a new possibility for worldwide AIS detection via airliners is presented. A first study is given towards the potential coverage of an airliner-based AIS detection. The usage of airliners as a complementary surveillance infrastructure for detecting AIS signals enables a comprehensive ship detection infrastructure for the future.

A key question is the choice of the communication payload depending on the aerial platform being deployed. Indeed, this payload depends on several factors including the aerial platform size, the payload weight as well as coverage and capacity requirements. This article analyses different options and presents the work which is ongoing in ABSOLUTE (Aerial Base Station with Opportunistic Links for Unattended and Temporary Events) European project. It first summarizes the outputs of the user requirements as developed in ABSOLUTE. Then, different aerial platforms and associated payload for a rapidly deployable tactical network are discussed, and the hybrid aerial and terrestrial communication system as developed in the project is presented. Finally it presents research topics and remaining challenges are highlighted.

An intelligent transport system open platform integrating the S-band Mobile Interactive Multimedi... more An intelligent transport system open platform integrating the S-band Mobile Interactive Multimedia messaging return channel protocol over satellite (based on Enhanced Spread Spectrum Aloha) has been developed and tested under real environment conditions within the framework of SafeTRIP, an FP7 EU-funded project. This paper presents the first field trials results using the S-band Mobile Interactive Multimedia technology. The introduced forward and return link outcomes have been derived from mobile field trials carried out in the surroundings of the German Aerospace Center (DLR) in Germany. Finally the validation of the system performances has been realized thanks to the use of a traffic emulator that can simulate a large population of Enhanced Spread Spectrum Aloha terminals.

The integration into a vehicle and testing of all related technologies in the field is a challenging task. In this paper, we present the journey that was undertaken by the SafeTRIP consortium from conceptual designs to deployment for the purposes of field trials and proof-of-concept. The paper begins by describing the steps taken to facilitate early software development and reproducible integration results. Next, as many components of the system were developed separately, a carefully orchestrated integration had to be performed in a lab setting. The last leg of the journey consisted of moving the integrated system into multiple vehicles at two test sites, accompanied by system tests and pilots. This transition has proven to be one of the most interesting and challenging aspects of the journey. We believe that our approach, findings and recommendations would be ...

The main principles and resulting challenges are described. A first study on possible coverage within Europe and North America using airliners endorses the concept's feasibility. Furthermore, system dimension aspects are investigated in a proof-of-principle manner to understand its feasibility. All commercial flights during 24 hours were considered on the basis of real global flight data. Paper's goal is stimulating further research activities and ideas in this area.

Shipboard broadcast transponders based on the Automatic Identification System (AIS) can be easily detected close to coastal or waterway areas. Satellite-based AIS receivers detect globally but are limited in high-density traffic areas. This paper investigates the challenges and performance of AIS detection on aircraft at altitudes between 8 500 m and 10 000 m. During flight trials over sea and land, AIS signals were recorded. Post-processing of the recorded data allows the evaluation but also faces challenges due to the nature of overlapping AIS signals at the aircraft. A comparison of detected signals at the aircraft with received AIS signals on the ground is given, including the evaluation of the reception footprint of the aircraft. Finally, a concept for worldwide AIS detection via airliners is presented. The study shows the potential for global complementary surveillance cove...
