Abstract

Summary form only given. The Satcoms in Support of Transport on European Roads project (SISTER) will promote the integration of satellite and terrestrial communications with GALILEO to enable mass-market take-up by road transport applications. Again SISTER does not aim at satellite to be the sole means of communications for all applications, rather it is seen as part of an overall solution. The project is supported by the European Commission under the 6th frame programme for Research and Development. It is lead by Avanti Communications (UK) with the support of a team of industrial and academic partners covering all aspects of the value chain for ITS services, from R&D through to space infrastructure and communications delivery.
