Intelligent transport systems – using satellite applications and other information technologies – could help resolve some of Europe’s many transport challenges, from congestion to climate change, European Commission Vice President Siim Kallas told the Vienna ITS

An idea to help vision impaired people navigate using sound cues and augmented satellite navigation signals has won the GSA Special Topic Prize at the ninth European Satellite Navigation Competition that took place in Munich on 25 October. The technology could also help the emergency services cope with low visibility environments.

The market for applications and services in Europe’s satellite navigation system is picking up fast as businesses latch on to its many benefits, Carlo des Dorides, Executive Director of the European GNSS Agency (GSA) told at the Intergeo Conference

Amid the bustle of the massive Intergeo trade fair and conference in Hannover, EGNOS made its presence felt.

As both a conference and a trade fair, European Space Solutions will enable public officials and business leaders to debate the space challenges of the years ahead. The three-day event in London this December will also feature the European Space Expo, the showcase for satellite applications.

Work has started to define the requirements and implementation options to extend the benefits of EGNOS to southern Africa. A joint Task Force led by the European GNSS Agency (GSA) met for the first time in early October with an ambitious timetable and objectives.

Europe’s efforts to build its global navigation satellite system (GNSS) include measures to collaborate with other countries on space programmes and satellite applications. In Brussels, key stakeholders met recently to discuss their GNSS outreach to Asia

Agriculture is a major sector for the European economy and farmers are increasingly seeking technological solutions to boost productivity. With EGNOS now freely available across the whole country the European GNSS Agency (GSA) was, for the first time, at Europe’s biggest outdoor agricultural exhibition near Poznan in September to promote the benefits of satellite assisted precision agriculture.

You have already seen how EGNOS is used on the Road, in Agriculture and in the Aviation industry. Now it's time to take a closer look at how EGNOS is used for Mapping
