Car-lileo optimises the processes and digitises the customer communication of car dealerships, detailers,  service providers and the mobility sector through novel services based on real-time localisation of cars, keys  and assets. Car-lileo is a modern, open, GDPR-compliant, trustful European PaaS/SaaS platform based on  GNSS/Galileo, innovative indoor localisation, its own service store and modern cloud architecture.

Water resources in snow, defined by the snow water equivalent (SWE), are of key importance to supply  renewable energy production through hydropower. Information of the spatial distribution and temporal  evolution in SWE are essential to forecast and manage reservoir water levels and electricity production. SnowPower provides this information based on recent advances in snow remote sensing techniques.

The global events market is valued at ~$900bn in revenue / year. These events purchase insurance to cover the potential for a cancellation and subsequent loss of income and incurred expenses. 

However, the insurance market providing this cover faces a problem. Natural disasters and extreme weather events are the leading cause of event cancellations. 

BirdsEyeView’s RAPTOR™ technology provides underwriters with the analytics they required to correctly assess their exposure to these extreme weather events when providing cover, events which are increasing in frequency and severity due to climate change. 

SWÖM is developing a self-inflating rashguard for kids which aims at addressing the numerous fatal  and non-fatal drowning accidents that occur each year. ”SWÖM with GPS” project is exploring  opportunities to integrate a satellite-based alarm and tracking system to allow for higher safety and  enhanced peace of mind for users but also for quicker emergency action in case of drowning.

The Pemberton Biodiversity Portal leverages a time series of UAV, aerial, and satellite data, alongside derived data which is ground-truthed and then compiled into a federated biodiversity metrics dataset to provide data consumers with accredited automated remote measurement and tracking of biodiversity.
 

GHOST-4V brings satcom broadband connectivity to humanitarian vehicles, enabling  new security and navigation applications.

The “Be a verifiable photojournalist!” project is about a possible application of GALILEO/OSNMA service. The authentic location and date/time data of OSNMA – embedded in EXIF tag of photos or videos – can be important help in fighting against fake news and disinformation.

Provide a brief description of the project in less than 60 words.

The project aims to develop a service for monitoring, reporting and verification (MRV) of agricultural measures to bind CO2 in the soil as a part of “Carbon Farming”. The tool will be able to monitor catch crops, report on farming practices for higher carbon sequestration and verify organic carbon build-up in the soil. 

The fusion of positioning, inertial and subsurface data sets at a singular point. 

A consortium of Europe’s leading ground penetrating radar and electronic developers have teamed up with the UKs most high-profile horizontal drilling operations to create the world’s leading terrain compensating subsurface inspection system capable of creating 3D data sets for analysing buried assets below challenging terrain.

Project LUCI aims to assess land use around railway infrastructure and detect changes that could be hazardous to the safe running of the railway.  The project aims to give trackside managers crucial information to enhance the decision making process and ultimately make the railways a safer place to work and travel.

The World Health Organization (WHO) has reported that 7.6% of patients in high-income countries acquire a healthcare-associated infection (HCAI).

Recent studies show that more than 650,000 patients a year in England acquire HCAIs, which cost the NHS over £1 billion annually. It is reported that airborne transport is responsible for up to 10% of all HCAIs. As ESA/NHS Future Hospital Initiative Programme, the project PASTA aims to improve indoor air quality and to minimise the risk of airborne pathogen infection in future hospital environments using low-temperature plasma technology that is oriented from in-situ resource unitisation in long-duration space missions and space propulsion (Pulsed plasma thruster).

This new technology can prevent HCAIs in the future NHS hospital environment by providing better infection control for airborne pathogens. In addition, the PASTA technology ambitions to reduce the carbon footprint of future NHS hospitals by improving the energy efficiency of an HVAC system and plastic waste generated from current filter-based HVAC system.

AI-enabled services for private companies responsible for roads surveillance and monitoring, for Municipalities responsible for safety and comfort aspects towards the roads’ users but, at the same time, also needing to safeguard the municipality cash balance.
MALIBU leverages on the most up to date technologies (from satellites to AI) to provide users with agile, flexible, effective and economically advantageous solutions for road defects detection, both through an own web platform, or to be integrated in already available user’s systems (e.g., GIS).

The MALIBU on-board unit, thought and designed for the monitoring of asphalt’ s defects, can be installed on cars, vans or, for the mapping of a large part of the urban road fabric, on local buses fleet; that means an adaptive and functional solution that can provide an overall view and always updated status information of roads travelled daily by equipped vehicles.

All the information can be easily accessed on a web platform that allows users to search and filter the data, download it and visualize it as plots, in a tabular format and/or in GIS (directly on the map). Additionally, the platform provides periodic reports, in CSV or PDF format, concerning the data produced by the main services. 

In addition to the defects’ detection service, also a set of other sub-services is provided.

The EpiWise Platform is a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) platform for epidemic risk mapping. It provides spatially-explicit and time-sensitive risk assessments of environment-sensitive emerging epidemic threats to industry and public health decision makers. This is achieved by deploying cloud-native, highly scalable, secure analytics combining AI-powered geospatial big-data intelligence with the latest epidemiological models.

A collaborative effort to gather data for  insights, knowledge,  and evaluation  based on moving bicycles u nlocking the potential of bicycle data to revolutionise infrastructure and management decisions for active and micro-mobility.

Space-data surveillance service for effective vessel management, enabling greater efficiencies in the planning of construction and the maintenance of offshore wind farms.

MyoCaid is a novel treatment for advanced heart failure which assists the failing heart, encouraging its recovery, rather than bypassing it. This unique mechanism of action has the potential to alleviate the symptoms and prolong the life of people with this disease.

The universal virtual flight data recorder (UVFDR) is a vendor-agnostic, non-exclusive data repository, providing flight data including Global Aeronautic Distress and Safety System (GADSS) functions from day-to-day aviation operations to users in near real time.
