Currently train location is guaranteed by track circuits (short cut made by the axles of bogies), or still by counting of axles (counting in the input-output wheel number from the segment), more recently by beacons RFID. These trackside elements require the installation of cables (formerly cupper or newly optical fiber) all along the tracks. It is costly and thus might not be accurate and flexible…

GNSS underpins critical civilian infrastructure worldwide, yet verifying how GNSS-dependent equipment actually performs under real-world interference remains a significant challenge. Authentic open-air interference testing is tightly regulated, and there is currently no scalable, accessible way to obtain genuine, well-documented interference recordings. Testnor will address this gap by developing…

The proposed project aims to develop an odometry and localization system leveraging Sensrad’s imaging radar technology – Hugin D1. By exploiting the rich spatial and Doppler information inherent in Sensrad’s imaging radar, the system will provide highly accurate positioning with increased redundancy, particularly in challenging environments where GNSS signals are unreliable or unavailable. The…

Project Q-PNT-MAP aims to develop and validate an advanced multi-sensor navigation framework for resilient positioning in GNSS-degraded and GNSS-denied environments. The project exploits quantum magnetic sensing, inertial navigation, AI-assisted magnetic anomaly detection, and magnetic map-building to investigate robust localisation where satellite navigation is unavailable or unreliable. A…

The objective of 5G-SCRAL "5G for Safety-Critical Railway Advanced Localization" project is to analyse if 5G / FRMCS based positioning could be an alternative and complementary source of PNT for safety-critical rail applications. For this purpose, positioning solutions using the public 5G networks are to be tested in the rail environment.

GIASONE -2 he development of an enhanced GNSS monitoring infrastructure to provide GNSS users with the tools to safeguard its operational status, starting from the prototype developed in GIASONE project. The proposed solution would be an enabling system to open the way towards safer and more pervasive usage of GNSS also in those fields where, nowadays, it is not of primary interest, such as…

Under an ESA NAVISP co-funded project, a new fully digital TW modem interoperable with the legacy one was developed by Eltvor (CZ), two prototypes were manufactured, and a preliminary test campaign has confirmed the targeted performance. The objectives of the proposed Experimentation Plan are to extend the verification and validation of the newly developed fully digital modem, including long-term…

Global Navigation Satellite Systems like Galileo and GPS are the backbone for position and timing in many industries today. For development and verification of GNSS chipsets GNSS signal simulators are widely used. The currently existing Rohde & Schwarz GNSS simulators are well accepted by customers nonetheless with evolving requirements and upcoming technical improvements in the field of GNSS new…
