Distinguished Lecture — Dr. Tomas Levin

IEEE ITSS Germany Chapter Distinguished Lecture Series 2026 #05

Dr. Tomas Levin (Norwegian Public Roads Administration) will give a talk entitled “Jammertest — The Why, What and How?”

Event Details

Abstract

The talk presents the Norwegian Public Roads Administration’s open vulnerability assessment program for GNSS-based positioning systems. As road transport increasingly depends on satellite navigation for everything from logistics to emergency services, threats such as jamming, spoofing, and meaconing have moved from theoretical concerns to operational risk.

The presentation is organized in three parts. The why addresses the policy and safety motivation behind transparent, government-led vulnerability testing. The what covers an evaluation methodology built around more than 150 real-world attack simulations with broad international participation. The how describes the practical organization of large-scale field experiments at Bleik, Norway, where the Jammertest exercise takes place. The talk closes with a discussion of how openly published findings inform resilient design choices for transportation infrastructure.

Topics Covered

• Open, government-led GNSS vulnerability assessment for road transport
• Threat taxonomy: jamming, spoofing, and meaconing
• Methodology for 150+ real-world attack simulations with international participation
• Field experiments at Bleik, Norway, and the Jammertest exercise
• Implications for resilient positioning, navigation, and timing (PNT) in transportation
