Commercial satellite navigation services are especially suitable for logistics and can be used for the navigation of continental transport, telematics platforms, for locating purposes in aviation and shipping, and as research platforms for transport and logistics systems. The additional availability of these applications in comparison to existing systems is mainly due to the system’s high accuracy and its world-wide availability. Central to these applications is the localization and tracking of goods which are transported in a multi-modal manner. This requires constant location of the respective carriers and of the goods transported, and all parties involved in the supply chain need to be able to continuously obtain information across all transport modes and independent of their location (location information).
