The study assessed passengers’ satisfaction with the services of the Lagos Shuttle Train Services in Lagos, Nigeria. Two types of train, the Mass Transit Train (MTT) and the Diesel Multiple Unit (DMU), were covered. Using multistage sampling, 246 passengers were surveyed. It was found that the DMU passengers had higher socioeconomic profiles; the overall condition of the DMU was also better. Further analyses reveal that passengers’ satisfaction differed for the train types: the MTT passengers were more particular about the operational environment, while the DMU passengers were concerned with both physical characteristics and the operational environment. Generally, passengers were satisfied with accessibility, coverage, fare, safety at station and onboard, security at station, and security of luggage; however, the Lagos Shuttle Train Services was found wanting on several key indicators. Recommendations are proffered towards enhancing the service quality of the Lagos Shuttle Train Services.

Since many years the most frequently method used for position fix in transport are global satellite navigation systems (SNS) as GPS and GLONASS and Satellite Based Augmentation System as EGNOS, GAGAN, MSAS and WAAS. Next global SNS (Galileo and BeiDou) and SBAS (SDCM) and KAAS) are under construction. The generic name given to all these mentioned above systems is Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS). Since 2010 GNSS Market Report, edited by the European GNSS Agency (GSA), takes a comprehensive look at the global GNSS market providing detailed analysis per market segment (currently 9 segments) and application type (currently depending on segment 4, 8, 11 or 13). In order to show the different distributions of these two parameters in different continents the world was divided into six regions (European Union, Russia and Europe without European Union, North America, Asia‒Pacific, Middle East and Africa, South America and Caribbean). The distributions of installed base of GNSS device and total revenue of GNSS devices sales by region and application in selected years for all four modes of transport (area, maritime, rail and road) are presented. In these analysis new and emerging GNSS trends by all these modes and the population numbers in each region was taken into account also.

Nowadays (July 2016) we can distinguish four modes of transport – air, maritime, rail and road. In each mode the continuous knowledge of the current user’s position is one of the most important parameters of safety and economy of the transport. The information about position can be obtained from satellite navigation systems SNS (GPS, GLONASS) and based augmentation systems SBAS (WAAS, EGNOS, MSAS, GAGAN). Two next global SNSs and one SBAS are under construction. This paper gives the reply to some questions: in which mode these systems are the most frequently used and why, which system is preferred in separate mode and individual region of the world, which kind of the receiver, one or more systems, are most popular. The comparison of SNSs applications, the capability of SNS receivers and supported constellations by theses receivers and additionally the detailed analysis of SNS receiver survey designed for each mode of transport are presented in this paper also.

Obecnie (lipiec 2016) można wyróżnić cztery gałęzie transportu – drogowy, kolejowy, morski i lotniczy. W każdej z nich nieprzerwana znajomość bieżącej pozycji użytkownika jest jednym z najważniejszych czynników decydujących o bezpieczeństwie i ekonomii transportu. Informację o pozycji mogą zapewnić satelitarne systemy nawigacyjne SSN (GPS, GLONASS) i systemy wspomagające SBAS (WAAS, EGNOS, MSAS, GAGAN). Dwa kolejne globalne SSN i jeden SBAS są w trakcie budowy. W artykule udzielono odpowiedzi na kilka pytań: w jakiej gałęzi transportu w/w systemy są najczęściej stosowane i dlaczego oraz który system jest preferowany w poszczególnych gałęziach i rejonach świata. Dla każdej z czterech gałęzi porównano także zastosowania GNSS, możliwości odbiorników GNSS i wykorzystywanie przez nich satelitów różnych systemów, a dodatkowo przedstawiono wyniki analizy porównawczej odbiorników GNSS przeznaczonych dla poszczególnych gałęzi transportu.
