COMPETITION AIMS
Design, develop, test and commercially launch a mobile application able to provide a position and/or time fix by using Galileo-enabled smartphone. Submissions are now closed.
The app should operate in both Android and IOS environments.
Smartphone GNSS apps in this area contribute to the reduction of congestion while implementing faster, greener and more efficient transportation options, providing real-time data on time schedules, traffic conditions, optimised routes, social events and touristic data.
The integration of positioning with virtual information allows the development of pinpoint services, which can be used for gaming, commerce, archaeology, construction and education.
Consumer preferences are combined with positioning data to provide exceptionally personalised offers to potential customers.
Fitness and mHealth applications rely on GNSS - in addition to other sensors - to monitor users’ physical performance.
GNSS-based tracking solutions contribute to improving productivity and safety of workers through mobile workforce management solutions.
The location of people is a relevant information around which develop specific services in social networks.
The enhanced processing power of modern smartphones, their portability and the location capabilities make them very suitable to develop Geographic Information System (GIS) applications, to geotag photos and to create crowd-sourced maps.
GNSS supports safe implementation of automated mobility in cooperative/connected cars, short-sea shipping and inland waterways vessels, goods transportation, air taxis and light rail systems in urban public transport.
Pilot information applications can use GNSS position to deliver custom weather reports, interactive maps, logging flight data or waypoints, and tracking the flight for professional, leisure or training purposes.
In addition to flight control applications, mobile apps for drones can use GNSS to plan, record and track the flight, provide fly/no-fly area maps and support geo awareness, weather reporting in the flight area, and facilitate communication with other drone pilots and drone integration in the airspace.
GNSS data can be used for time-stamping functions to log and validate events including mobile payments, bank transactions and stock exchanges trades.
