Abstract	This article analyzes the business opportunities and market factors that will affect how rapidly road user charging using the Galileo satellite navigation system will be adopted. The article includes an inventory of some 22 possible applications, broken into categories: safety of life, liability critical, and non-safety of life and non-liability critical. They range from advanced driver assistance to pay per use insurance to transport on demand. A 24-month project commissioned by the Galileo Joint Undertaking (GJU) is GIROADS, to aggregate proposals and help speed adoption of Europe’s satellite navigation by the road sector. One conclusion of the GIROADS regulatory survey is that only a small number of road sector applications are currently governed by European Union regulations. At the other extreme, GIROADS has identified a number of regulatory and legislative actions that must be taken to permit wider deployment, especially in terms of liability. Additional figures and charts examine issues such as legal questions and pricing structures.
