Start date: 01/11/2023The Nav4FutureMobility project aims at taking advantage of the commercial opportunity arising from the new legal framework in Germany (Level-4 Law, enacted in 2022), where Level 4 automation can become viable (for the first time) within specific operational design domains (designated operating areas) if a remote supervising entity is monitoring the operation in real-time. This project focuses on…

Start date: 20/09/2020The SRX project aims to develop an industrial prototype of a multi-GNSS multi-frequency GNSS receiver module, offering high-precision positioning and heading capability in adverse signal environments like forests. The usage of Galileo E5ab and BeiDou-3 B2 ACE-BOC wide-band signals integrated with MEMS sensor measurements is considered a key here to achieve robust vector tracking based solutions…

Start date: 04/09/2019The need for high accuracy PNT in challenging environments has become obvious and, henceforth, mandatory for many applications. Currently, an accuracy target of 1 m in an urban environment seems a realistic achievement with multi-GNSS PPP or RTK capabilities. A significant R&D effort is ongoing to reach this target in operational products, using carrier phase positioning (PPP and RTK) and European…

Start date: 03/12/2019The exploitation of GNSS time as a reference source for timing and synchronisation processes is becoming fundamental for critical infrastructures like telecommunication networks, energy distribution grids, financial markets, and commercial aviation systems and networks. In the case of commercial aviation, GNSS time is used for: Positioning and timing for on-board navigation…

Start date: 03/02/2020Mass-market GNSS receivers, mostly installed in smartphones, use low cost antennas that need to be compatible with the communication antennas of these terminals. Typical antennas used in mobile phones are simple PIFAs (Planar Inverted-F Antennas) suitable for any constellation in L1 band, such as GPS/Galileo, GLONASS/Beidou. Their linear polarization (instead of circular) and low gain lead to…

Start date: 27/01/2020Until recently, RTK and PPP technologies have been developed for professional applications, the price not being affordable for mass-market users. Over the last couple of years, however, impressive breakthroughs have been witnessed for mass-market applications. While multi-band GNSS will provide an improved user experience in many consumer settings, the solution alone cannot deliver sufficiently…

Start date: 15/01/2023The world economic trade has continuously increased over the past decades. For the maritime business, this had led to larger and larger ships and denser traffic. Examples of famous waterways are the Suez Channel, the Kiel Channel, and the Malakka Strait near Singapore. The latter one is passed by 200 to 250 container ships daily that transport 25 % of the global maritime transportation…

Start date: 23/01/2023The EGNSS MATE project aims to develop a solution for the problem of localising trains in an accurate and safe manner. Positioning information enables moving block operations in the European Traffic Management System, allowing capacity increases and fixed asset reductions on exisiting lines. Within this project, map assisted sensor fusion algorithms will be developed by DLR. The algorithm…
