Start date: 11/09/2024Duration: 12 MonthsReliable Integer Ambiguity Resolution (IAR) of carrier-phase measurements is critical for Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) high accuracy positioning. State-of-the-art IAR strategies employ well-established processes (float estimation, decorrelation and searching) which, however, cannot deem efficient for real-time kinematic applications. Analytically, by virtue of weak models, biases…Prime contractor

The GNSS-R Technology for Water Leaks Detection project aims to engineer an instrument, which can be installed in any vehicle, capable of pre-localizing water losses using the technique of scatterometry. This technique involves driving a vehicle over the water pipe, identifying the sections with different moisture content than the average measurements. In this way, operators can avoid the… -
Start date: 01/09/2024Duration: 18 MonthsThis project aims to develop a novel white-box GNSS receiver with a unique capability: achieving faster-than-real-time operation. This innovation will significantly accelerate development and testing cycles. The project will leverage the high-throughput capabilities of an AMD/Xilinx Versal board to realize this functionality. Furthermore, the project will culminate in the creation of a…Prime contractor

Integer Ambiguity Resolution (IAR) concerns the successful resolution of unknown integer ambiguities present in carrier-phase measurements, which exhibit millimeter-level precision. In the context of Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) precise positioning and navigation, the IAR process is fundamental, as once ambiguities are correctly resolved, the phase data acts as ultra-precise…Subcontractors

The management of rail logistics heavily relies on digital tools, where transport management systems (TMS) are pivotal. Despite the widespread use of TMS in road and ocean freight, rail freight lags by two decades. Addressing this discrepancy, Rail-Flow introduces a Rail TMS that integrates diverse data sources, including the Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS), and collaborates with kasasi…Subcontractors
