TRANSPORTATIONUPDATE GHOST Project Makes Public Transporation Smart The use of Galileo and its integration with other sensors is key to developing smart city solutions for Europe according to the European GNSS Agency GSA The Horizon 2020 funded GHOST Galileo Enhancement as Booster of the Smart Cities project has developed and validated an intelligent system for vehicles that equips public transport fleets with a Galileo enabled camera that connects to a web portal The system automatically takes pictures of predefined points of interest based on the position of the vehicle Images are sent to a processing server capable of detecting anomalies such as potholes or a burnt out street light The system then uses the web portal to report these findings to the relevant authorities GHOST is designed primarily for reporting street lighting anomalies and road deteriorations monitoring public garbage collection and detecting double parking infractions or disabled parking spots occupied by unauthorized vehicles More advanced services such as spotting bus lane and congestion charging area violations will be implemented later A free smartphone application enables citizens to help by collecting snapshots The GHOST project began in January 2015 and held a demonstration in November 2016 Next is a business plan for using the GHOST system in the most promising markets Citizens can participate with a free smartphone application AIR LAND SEA The Leading Innovator in Embedded Navigation Solutions VectorNav sets the standards for high performance inertial navigation solutions Our range of products provide industry leading performance and best in class size weight and power Visit VectorNav at XPONENTIAL 2017 on May 9 11 in Dallas TX to learn more about the VectorNav range of sensors and how we can solve your inertial navigation requirements INDUSTRIAL SERIES TACTICAL SERIES Embedded Navigation Solutions www vectornav com sales@ vectornav com Booth 1515 XPONENTIAL 2017 5 7 hr in run gyro bias stability 03 RMS heading 01 RMS pitch roll 30 g ITAR FREE 1 hr in run gyro bias stability 01 RMS heading 003 RMS pitch roll IP 68 rated enclosure ITAR FREE INDUSTRY LEADING PRICE PERFORMANCE BEST IN CLASS SIZE WEIGHT POWER SHORT LEAD TIMES UNRIVALED ENGINEERING SUPPORT APRIL 2017 WWW GPSWORLD COM GPS WORLD 39
