The modernisation, integration and expansion of rail networks in the European Union is opening exciting new possibilities for Europe’s global navigation satellite systems (E-GNSS), Galileo and EGNOS. Already used to offer non-safety services such as asset management and passenger information, an augmented GNSS linked to a range of sensors could provide signalling and train control services that meet stringent European safety standards.

The second Horizon 2020 (H2020) call for Applications in Satellite Navigation, managed by the European GNSS Agency, is officially open. With a budget of EUR 25 million for the 2015 call, the deadline for submitting proposals is 8 April 2015.

To accelerate EU space policy, the second Horizon 2020 call focuses on growth and impact across all market segments, including transport (road, rail, maritime, aviation), high precision surveying, location based services (LBS), agriculture and emergency services. Priority is also placed on raising productivity and competitiveness while reducing adverse environmental impact Read more…

Farmers, bankers, captains, conductors, firefighters, pilots and European citizens will soon rely on EGNOS and Galileo to power services that enhance efficiency and safety, increase protection and fuel economic growth. Precision agriculture, rescue services or tracking of hazardous goods are just a few examples of how GNSS improves our live. Learn more about how EGNOS and soon Galileo provide. Read more…
