Abstract Positioning and navigation systems for applications with SoL features require the development of solutions that can ensure the integrity of the provided position information. The concept of integrity must be conjugated together with the concepts of continuity, accuracy and availability. This chapter is intended to briefly introduce these concepts, which will be dealt with more details in the following chapters. The chapter also outlines the main accuracy requirements of railway signalling systems, and the needs of innovative cost-effective railway signalling solutions and anticipates the peculiarities of the railway environment, with respect to the well-known aviation environment. Finally, this chapter summarizes the objectives of the book.
