DETECTOR

Detection, Evaluation and Characterisation of Threats to Road applications.

The overall objective of the DETECTOR project is to carry out the design, development, validation and commercial feasibility assessment for the production of a low-cost GNSS interference and jamming detection device for use within road transport applications. The device will be capable of operating in a stand-alone mode or as part of a networked solution depending on the needs. Its purpose is to detect, evaluate and characterise a denial of service attack. The device will be sold to police forces, highways authorities, toll operators, ports authorities and governmental organisations in the fight against low-cost and do-it-yourself GNSS jamming technologies as used by criminals, terrorists, anarchists and extreme activists.
The DETECTOR concept is proposed as a solution to support and enforce the growing use of GNSS in intelligent transport systems (e.g. demand/congestion management, pay-as-you-drive insurance, intelligent speed adaptation, stolen vehicle recovery, remote start inhibition etc). DETECTOR will address the concerns of government departments, road operators, ITS system providers and police forces across Europe and globally, due to the safety and financial threat to such applications presented by GNSS denial of service attacks.
