ExpectedOutcome:
Projects are expected to contribute to the following outcomes:
Broaden the reach of EGNSS, by supporting its adoption in mature, regulated long lead markets, including rail, maritime inland waterways, fisheries and aquaculture, road and automotive, aviation;
Development of industry-accepted certification and standardization schemes that exploit the use of EGNSS and its differentiators for operational services.
Scope:
Standardization and certification for the use of GNSS in regulated markets is a costly and time-consuming process. The topic aims to gaps in mature, regulated and long lead markets and deliver concrete pathways to standardization and certification towards broader EGNSS adoption. Proposals may be submitted in any of the following areas:
Closing the related standardization and certification gaps for rail safety critical applications that support the rail network efficiency and cost reduction, converging towards a pan-European EGNSS-based solution adoption, within the European Rail Traffic Management System (ERTMS) evolution or adoption within railway lines that do not require a full interoperability with ERTMS. Proposals may contribute to pilot projects and tests (e.g. large-scale demonstrators within Europe´s Rail JU projects) supporting the approval of the EGNSS-based solutions by relevant safety authorities. Relevant activities to be addressed include the amendment of the ERTMS technical specifications for interoperability to support the use of EGNSS for train localization and, possible synergies with Copernicus and/or GOVSATCOM, including also the integration with other sensors for the infrastructure monitoring;
EGNSS-supported safe and efficient operations in coastal areas, harbour areas and other maritime areas (including for energy production e.g. off-shore wind farms), inland waterways, fisheries and aquaculture, addressing potential standardization and certification bottlenecks and assisting a diverse pool of stakeholders, ranging from vessel operators and recreational boaters. Proposals may explore the regulatory and compliance certification conditions for the use of EGNSS and its differentiators (e.g. OSNMA, HAS, RLS, EWS etc.) to support port operations, efficient and secure navigation in inland waterways or areas previously considered too dangerous or inaccessible such as new maritime routes or shallow inland waters. Exploration of relevant synergies with Copernicus and/or GOVSATCOM could be included, addressing the certification and regulatory aspects that their use might bring;
Addressing potential standardization and certification bottlenecks for the use of EGNSS for road and automotive market safety-related applications in scenarios of potential harm to humans or damage to a system/environment (e.g. connected and autonomous cars, emergency assistance), liability applications (e.g. insurance telematics) and fleet management systems, in particular the management of priority goods by electronic freight transport information (eFTI). EGNSS-based systems that contribute to reducing congestion and associated emissions, improving the safety and efficiency of road transportation. Examples of areas requiring further consolidation include standardization and certification aspects for the implementation of the Galileo Emergency Warning System (EWS) in automotive applications leveraging the interoperability via digital maps, the Galileo HAS in the deployment of 5G high accuracy networks for automotive applications, reduction of congestion charging in urban areas, maintenance of roads and enhanced driving comfort. Exploration of relevant synergies with Copernicus and/or GOVSATCOM could be included, addressing the certification and regulatory aspects that their use might bring;
Applications for the aviation market that require further consolidation include aircraft operations and planning for more efficient and green operations supported by EGNSS and its differentiators, EGNSS timing for 4D trajectory operations, EGNSS timing for System Wide Information Management (SWIM), integration of Dual Frequency Multi-constellation (DFMC) SBAS in avionics/aircraft and integration of Copernicus data into current aviation systems, on-board or on-the-ground supporting airport operations and validation of operations via DFMC and the Galileo ARAIM. Proposals may also include applications for drones’ urban air mobility including urban air deliveries trough EGNSS data and services for the navigation operations, supported by EO data with provision of meteorological data, terrain and obstacle information. Exploration of relevant synergies with Copernicus and/or GOVSATCOM could be included, addressing the certification and regulatory aspects that their use might bring.
The Proposals shall:
present a solid preliminary overview of the standardization and certification gaps and propose clear steps to address and close them;
seek the participation of standardization and certification entities or authorities concerned with the regulatory requirements of the sectors that they address.
Applications may also consider the interconnection and integration of future GOVSATCOM and/or Copernicus services into the regulatory environment, if applicable.
Applicants are advised to exploit, if applicable, possible synergies with other specific actions funded under the work programmes of Cluster 4 “Digital, Industry and Space”, Cluster 5 “Climate, Energy and Mobility”, Cluster 6 “Food, Bioeconomy, Natural Resources, Agriculture and Environment” and the EU Mission on Climate neutral and smart cities.
In this topic the integration of the gender dimension (sex and gender analysis) in research and innovation content is not a mandatory requirement.
Specific Topic Conditions:
Activities are expected to achieve TRL 7-9 by the end of the project – The reference TRL definition is the ISO 16290:2013 applicable to the space sector.
