Encyclopedia
GADEROS is a study sponsored by the European Commission
. The purpose is to make use of the Galileo Global Navigation Satellite System
(GNNS) when it becomes functional in 2008.
Current terrestrial railroad tracking systems require huge distances as safety margins. This leads to lower freight and passenger throughput

Throughput
In communication networks, such as Ethernet or packet radio, throughput or network throughput is the average rate of successful message delivery over a communication channel. This data may be delivered over a physical or logical link, or pass through a certain network node...
