EU Space plays a big role in the road transportation and automotive sectors – including improving safety and sustainability. Galileo enables Europe’s eCall emergency service and is used to track the transport of dangerous goods, implement road user charging schemes and reduce traffic congestion. Copernicus is used to monitor emissions and, when combined with Galileo’s accurate positioning, such critical infrastructure as tunnels, motorways and bridges. EU Space technology also enables a range of smart mobility solutions.
