BROWSE PROJECTS
Based on user needs and industry skills, the evolution of customized solutions and the establishment of innovative services is accomplished through project activities. Focusing on various thematic areas, relevant information on the project activities is provided below.
GeoSHM
Status date: 17 June 2015
GeoSHM (GNSS and Earth Observation for Structural Health Monitoring) is a Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) system that integrates GNSS and Earth Observation technologies to offer an integrated solution for the maintenance of different types of asset.
ICWM for MED
Status date: 04 June 2015
ICWM for MED solution provides water quality monitoring and surveillance of coastal areas by integrating information from: Earth Observation, Navigation and Communication satellite assets; in situ measurements; crowdsourcing information. It intends to address the current limitations from both Earth Observation based and traditional at sea measurements methods in order to support the duties of environmental agencies and coastguard authorities.
PROTECT
Status date: 28 September 2016
The PROTECT project aims to exploit existing systems and infrastructure in conjunction with applicable space based assets to provide cost-effective added-value technology centred services that provide improved situational awareness to both on-board and shore based stakeholders, based on real-time innovative integration of piracy and sensor information/data.
I-PORT
Status date: 07 September 2016
The I-PORT demonstration project involves creation and demonstration of IT services for optimisation of inter-modal container transport in Ports. The project is a collaboration between AIMES, Avanti Communications Group plc, ContainerPort, exactEarth and Atlantic Containers Ltd and involves deployment of systems within the UK and also in Germany, in collaboration with The Institute of Shipping Economics and Logistics (ISL) and DBH.
PIMSIS
Status date: 01 September 2016
To demonstrate the added value of space assets for the monitoring of the integrity and safety of gas & oil transmission pipelines.
Electronic Offender Monitoring
Status date: 27 April 2016
Electronic Monitoring (EM) is used by several judicial government bodies worldwide to track offenders on probation or subjected to other forms of legal liberty constraints. This Feasibility Study analysed the technical feasibility and economic viability of an EM system/service featuring Galileo, the European Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) and using enhanced cartography and imagery obtained through Earth Observation (EO).
TRISS
Status date: 20 July 2016
Humans spend energy and money to plant and manage trees in their habitat. Tree information is essential to enable rational management: Tree numbers, their position, height, crown size, health, habitat condition and species are relevant to professionals managing both urban and rural environments. This feasibility study focused on satellite based services providing or updating tree information.
HAMS
Status date: 01 July 2016
Using Satellite applications in conjunction with terrestrial sensors to better monitor and understand heritage assets. The nature of maintaining a large portfolio of heritage assets provides a large opportunity to use remote sensing techniques to deliver a more efficient method for monitoring distributed assets.
BIOSCOPE
Status date: 05 July 2016
Agriculture is becoming more and more data driven and farmers are in demand of relevant, fresh information about their crops for location specific treatment. BIOSCOPE sets up a unique service based on satellite imagery when possible and drone imagery as backup when clouds prevent an undisturbed view.
