Summary:In Italy activities and investments (including the ones of the Italian Space Agency) on transportation safety in the GNSS field are increasing. The road transportation has been the most important focus point, while a strong attention is being devoted to civil aviation, rail transportation and maritime applications. The current Galileo and EGNOS systems, with their future evolutions, give the possibility to exploit all the possible applications related to the navigation field. A specific attention needs to be addressed to the Unmanned Aerial Vehicles, that involve critical elements for civil and commercial use. A final balance of the developed activities in Italy will be discussed in this paper; the roadmap of the future activities will be analyzed correlating both the national and international projects involving the Italian participation. Finally, the priorities of the applications will emphasize the potential fruitful use of new GNSS solutions.
