European Rail Traffic Management System (ERTMS) takes a step forward towards the future as the European Commission, the Europe's Rail Joint Undertaking (EURail), the European Union Agency for Railways (ERA), and the European Union Agency for the Space Programme (EUSPA) jointly host an event that showcases the integration of European satellite technology into the rail [...]
Q: How can GNSS augmentation services be combined to simultaneously support multiple user classes with demanding but varied requirements? A: Many augmentations of GNSS satellite navigation have been developed and fielded since the GPS constellation was completed and declared fully operational in 1995. The best known of these are satellite-based and ground-based augmentation systems (SBAS [...]

The test campaign took place from 11 to 13 April as part of the HELMET project (High integrity GNSS Layer for Multimodal Eco-friendly Transportation) funded by EU H2020 - EUSPA and coordinated by Radiolabs. HELMET's objective is the development of innovative applications for the safe localization of vehicles, using the data of the EGNOS-Galileo satellite [...]
HELMET is an innovative project to realize an open standard and interoperable GNSS augmentation solution for Train control systems based on the ERTMS standard and the Connected and autonomous cars for high accuracy-integrity positioning. Yet, Drones can benefit from this augmentation network to ensure the highest safety levels when flying over roads and rails. HELMET [...]
One of the main tasks of the HELMET project is the identification of the requirements for the identified target users. The focus of the project is on rail and automotive considering also the UAV applications intended as support for the rail and road applications. The first step is linked to the test case identification. Particularly, [...]
The HELMET project kick-off meeting was held in Prague on January 9, 2020. Daniel Lopour, Project Officer of HELMET from GSA side, presented the European GNSS Agency’s expectations regarding the project, contractual and administrative issues. Prof. Alessandro Neri (Radiolabs), the Project Coordinator, illustrated the HELMET project goals, its activities, and relationship with the [...]
