V záři novinek, jako je zobrazení intenzity dopravy v mobilní aplikaci, se bez větší pozornosti odehrává také změna, která pravděpodobně nepotěší uživatele ze Slovenska (nebo ty, co s mapami na Slovensko vyjíždějí). Z vlastních podrobných datových podkladů tu totiž populární mapový portál přechází na data z OpenStreetMap stejně jako u ostatních států. Jen při letmém […]

In orbit for more than a decade, ESA’s Earth Explorer satellite SMOS has not only exceeded its planned lifespan, but also surpassed its original scientific goals. Built to demonstrate new technology in space and address gaps in our scientific understanding of how Earth works as a system, this remarkable mission is now also being used for a number of practical applications. With drought seemingly more commonplace, entrepreneurs are using information on soil moisture from SMOS and data from other satellites to generate commercial data products for the insurance market, ultimately bringing benefits to farmers.

EXTON, Pa. – June 23, 2020 – Bentley Systems, Incorporated, a leading global provider of comprehensive software and digital twin cloud services for advancing the design, construction, and operations of infrastructure, announces that Robert Mankowski, Bentley’s senior vice president of digital cities, has been named to the executive board of the World Geospatial Industry Council.
Mankowski leads Bentley’s digital cities solution area, which provides infrastructure engineering, digital twin software, and services to help cities that are going digital. He has over 20 years’ experience in software development and has co-invented several technologies now used in the OpenFlows product line. Bentley’s digital cities applications enable engineers to plan and design more efficient city infrastructure.
“I am honored to serve on the WGIC executive board and use my experience and knowledge of both the geospatial industry and the infrastructure industry to further advance WGIC’s mission and objectives,” said Mankowski.
Mankowski joined Bentley in 2004 as part of Bentley’s acquisition of Haestad Methods, a pioneer in object-oriented hydraulic analysis software, where he served as chief technology officer. He earned a Bachelor of Science degree in civil engineering from Drexel University and is a licensed professional engineer.
Mankowski replaces Ted Lamboo on the World Geospatial Industry Council board. Formerly with Bentley, Lamboo is now CEO of Digital Construction Works, a new digital automation, integration, and digital twinning services and fit-for-purpose solutions company formed as part of a joint venture between Bentley and Topcon Positioning Group.
Bentley is a co-founder of the World Geospatial Industry Council, which acts as a collaborative platform for advancing the role of the geospatial industry and strengthening its contributions to society and the world economy.
Mankowski is one of four new members the World Geospatial Industry Council named to its executive board. More information about the appointments is available here.

A Work Plan for the European Railway Traffic Management System (ERTMS), published by the European Commission in May this year, lists satellite positioning as one of the game changing technologies underpinning future evolutions of the system and a key element to be included in future Technological Specifications for Interoperability (TSI).
The ERTMS is a major industrial project that aims to make rail transport in Europe safer and more competitive. As a safety system, the ERTMS enforces train compliance with speed restrictions and signalling and consists of equipment installed both on trains and along the railway tracks.
According to the latest Work Plan, the ERTMS will become the backbone of railway digitalisation in Europe, allowing for the introduction of new technologies, including but not limited to automatic train operation, satellite positioning and other technologies capable of optimising rail performance and capacity.
“In light of the important role that GNSS positioning will play in the system, the GSA recently conducted a cost-benefit analysis for virtual balises, one of the possible technical solutions for the ERTMS,” said Daniel Lopour, Market Development manager for rail. “This analysis showed that there is a positive cost/benefit ratio, both for railway infrastructure managers and for the industry as a whole,” he said.
Read this: ITT: EGNSS-based rail safety service analysis
The GSA report found that, to make a good economic case, a rail line must be in a location that enables the deployment of a large number of virtual balises, when physical balises have not yet been deployed. The cost of balise maintenance also has an impact on the attractiveness of the project: the maintenance cost per physical balise should be high to allow for more cost savings.
One of the guiding principles for the future evolution of the ERTMS, including the revision of the Control Command and Signalling (CCS) Technological Specifications for Interoperability (TSI) planned for 2022, is to ensure that the TSI will deliver significant business case improvements for the railway sector. For this to happen, and to achieve higher capacity and better performance, the ERTMS game changers should be included in the TSI revision.
Within the framework of Horizon 2020, the GSA and the Shift2Rail Joint Undertaking have been investing to ensure that Galileo and EGNOS can support localisation objectives within the ERTMS. R&D projects such as ERSAT, STARS and X2RAIL2, for example, have helped to analyse the rail environment, define the necessary architecture of the train positioning subsystem and provide the first operational pilots, transferring early results to European tracks.
Watch this: EGNOS and Galileo for Rail
To support the ERTMS Work Plan the GSA, together with European Space Agency (ESA), is also actively supporting railway companies, infrastructure managers and the EU railway industry from the technical perspective regarding the different GNSS services needed for fail-safe train localisation.
The GSA will continue to collaborate with Shift2Rail and the European Railway Agency on the necessary changes to ERTMS and the relevant European GNSS services, with the ultimate goal of delivering GNSS-based localisation-related efficiency benefits to the future evolutions of the ERTMS.
