New European Initiative: EUPOS - European Position Determination System

The Project EUPOS (European Position Determination System) was initiated by the Berlin Senate Department for Urban Development and European Academy of the Urban Development Berlin. The project consists in establishment of about 415 multifunctional satellite reference stations in Central and Eastern Europe. Fourteen countries intend to participate in the project. One common project standard set will be observed by all countries, however the project will include the existing or developed infrastructure in participating countries. The system will be compatible with the future European system Galileo. Experiences of establishing and operating satellite systems gained by other countries will also be used. The network of reference stations will provide signal for both positioning of the geodetic control points and for land, air and marine navigation. Several levels of positioning accuracy will be offered. The poster will reflect the newest version of the project including all recommendations resulting from the consultations with the representatives of European Commission.
