GENEVA – Galileo / EGNOS Enhanced Driver Assistance

Galileo / EGNOS enhanced driver assistance

The objective of the GENEVA project is to develop an innovative application within the context of advanced driver assistance for high precision, reliable and certifiable use. The application will contribute to the adoption of EGNOS/EDAS and the introduction of Galileo in one of the most important market segments i.e. the European automotive industry.

The application "Urban Assist" is targeted to road telematics applications. Urban Assist will bring benefits e.g. increased road safety to all European citizens and has a broad social and public dimension. For the implementation of the application sophisticated technology is needed with high level of innovation. The output of GENEVA will be an application with clear market implementation focus using GNSS as primary positioning technology.

Urban Assist mainly aims to significantly reduce the number of urban road accidents and consequently the number of injured and killed people in road traffic. Besides this main target, collision avoidance has also positive influence on other aspects important for the community. It helps to reduce traffic jams, resource consumption, air pollution and CO2 – emissions.

The GENEVA project is coordinated by OECON GmbH.

The research leading to the results of the GENEVA project has received funding from the European Union Seventh Framework Programme (FP7-GALILEO-2008-GSA-1; cordis.europa.eu/fp7) under grant agreement no° 248198 of the European GNSS Agency (www.gsa.europa.eu)
