Start date: 21/02/2018Current IMO work on guidelines for shipborne PNT data processing will define a high level framework for the processing and combination of data of multiple systems and sensors in a maritime PNT receiver. The definition of IMO guidelines are expected to significantly progress in the course of 2017. Therefore, it is considered of paramount importance to complement this work with further studies on…Subcontractors

Start date: 23/01/2018The Galileo System Time (GST) timescale is the cornerstone for the operations and performance of the Galileo System. It should be stable, traceable and always available. The current system time is provided via a physical on-ground clock which limits the performance. A time scale built with pulsar measurements, i.e. measurements from celestial objects emitting radiation in pulses, would typically…Subcontractors

Start date: 15/01/2019The current evolution of the Internet of Things (IoT) and Smart Cities, together with the proliferation in the last years of cloud platforms where storage and processing of data can, ideally, be handled on demand, has boosted the appearance of new applications and services in the positioning domain of potential interest for specific use cases. In particular, the processing in the cloud of GNSS… -
Start date: 30/11/2024Some of the greatest challenges that connected and automated ground vehicles face are safe path planning, navigation, self-localisation and positioning. This includes the system being able to reason about its environment and decide which path to take or being able to re-plan should the initial path present obstacles or traffic. JLR aims to develop a testbed capable of testing a Factor Graph…Prime contractor

Start date: 01/06/2019Precise relative positioning in MEO (Medium Earth Orbit, at altitudes ranging between 2,000 and 36,000 km) exploiting GNSS is a subject that has been little explored while having high potential for enabling an interesting set of applications based on space-to-space interferometry. Establishing accurate inter-satellite baselines based on GNSS measurements would open the door to new missions at… -
Start date: 05/07/2019DDK Positioning will develop and deliver a Precise Positioning Service that will be delivered on the Iridium Communication Satellite Service. As a new global positioning service, new and unique characteristics of the service will be developed, with the aim of delivering a service for large volume markets, these characterises will be: • Network robust • Instantaneous start up…Prime contractor

Start date: 16/09/2019There are an increasing number of IoT applications, and projections show that global Low Power Wide Area (LPWA) connections will increase by almost one order of magnitude in the next five years. Terrestrial networks are continuously targeting evolutions of the IoT markets. For example, the latest release of 3GPP standards has introduced modifications to their standard (e.g. NB-IoT) to comply with… -
Start date: 04/01/2021The fast evolution of the Internet of Things (IoT), commercial Cloud platforms, and the future 5G standards are boosting development of new applications and technologies in the PNT field. Devices are expected to be increasingly connected to Internet in the next few years, storage and processing of data in the Cloud is already a reality, with 5G expected to bring very soon higher data rates and… -
Start date: 05/03/2021The project aims to develop a Cloud-based Snapshot GNSS solution that provides augmented levels of sensitivity, potentially extending the use of GNSS PNT services to degraded, or even currently denied scenarios, such as urban canyons or mild indoor facilities. Within the project, Albora is developing a disruptive technology, ALCORE, based on the combination of high sensitivity techniques and… -
Start date: 07/01/2022The following specific objectives have been identified for the INSPIRe project: Investigate, develop and bench-test techniques and algorithms for autonomous user-level integrity monitoring, based on: ◾Dual-frequency multi-constellation GNSS ◾EGNOS (as a source of error characterisation of GNSS) ◾Dead Reckoning systems (inertial) Investigate, develop and bench-test equipment…Prime contractor
