Abstract: Over the years, precise positioning has been the ultimate goal for Satellite Navigation Systems. The American Global Navigation Satellite System deliver the position and time information intended for various sectors such as vehicle tracking, oil exploration, atmospheric studies, astronomical telescope pointing, airport and harbor security tracking etc. Corresponding technological competitors such as Russian Global Navigation Satellite System (GLONASS), European Union’s GALILEO, China’s BeiDou and Japanese Quasi Zenith Satellite System (QZSS) are few other versions of Satellite based Augmentation Systems. Nevertheless, stern security measures, geographical statistics and stimulation of diverse Electronic Gadgets at indoor/outdoor surroundings make it critical to acquire data about any vicinity with seamless accessibility, accuracy and integrity with satellite links. In this paper, positional accuracy has been tested with analysis of EGNOS, EDAS and simple GPS receiver models at Rome City, Italy. To support results, various real time experiments/tests has been performed with GPS Receiver SIRF Demo software. The test was conducted on-board a car by installing a laptop equipped with GPS Receiver plus supportive SBAS (EGNOS particularly) through three diverse bus routes of locality and outcomes of few tested samples inside the Rome City center are specified to check the availability of desired satellite signals. Subsequently, comparative analysis has been executed between the simple GPS data received and GPS + EGNOS data collected during daytime traffic. The strength of test signals reveals accuracy of EGNOS in open terrain area with less congestion. Furthermore, Asian and European Advanced GPS systems are compared in terms of performance as well as feasibility of authentic, accurate and swift satellite navigation systems.
