The GSA aims to help cities emerge stronger from the COVID-19 pandemic by leveraging EGNSS (Galileo and EGNOS) and Copernicus synergies to make urban mobility more sustainable, as well as boost innovation and economic growth. To do this, the GSA is creating a network of cities that have decided to build better, more sustainable and efficient transport systems to support the recovery phase. With this in mind, a survey has been launched to understand the needs and develop tailored awareness raising and support actions on space for cities. The Horizon 2020 Ariadna project will take it further with dedicated support to facilitate the use of space for sustainable cities and its integration into new urban mobility schemes.
Transport represents almost a quarter of Europe's greenhouse gas emissions and is the main cause of air pollution in cities1. While Europe recovers from the COVID-19 crisis and lockdown measures are lifted, the demand for mobility is cautiously increasing. In this context, some cities have decided not to ‘return to normal’, but to take the opportunity to build a better, more sustainable and efficient transport system to support the recovery phase2.
Urban mobility is undergoing a profound transformation, with new mobility services and innovations allowing people to easily mix and match different modes of transportation. Space services are playing a key role in the modernisation of cities and urban transport, opening new possibilities to exploit the synergies of Galileo and Copernicus to go green. However, urban areas are obstacle-rich environments generating a “multipath effect” that results in reduced positioning accuracy.
Read this: European GNSS supports smarter mobility
But, by using Galileo capabilities in multi-frequency solutions the accuracy and time to fix a position is significantly improved. This is translated into a better location for vehicles, which is key to optimising network planning. Copernicus services can support emissions monitoring by validating the measurements from existing sensors and extrapolating data to areas not covered otherwise. They also provide advanced imagery to support urban planning and monitoring of activities in a city.
The H2020 Ariadna project will support all urban mobility stakeholders in ensuring that public transport delivers urban mobility in its broadest sense, which includes shared mobility and disruptive schemes such as Mobility as a Service (MaaS) using EGNSS and Copernicus. Together with Ariadna, the GSA is launching an initiative to bring cities that want to go greener and are looking for answers from space data together in the Space4Cities network.
And this: Satellites and the City
To facilitate this process, the European GNSS Agency (GSA) and Ariadna have launched a survey to identify which cities would like to engage with the initiative, assess their needs and how EGNSS and Copernicus services and data can best help them to achieve their sustainable mobility goals. The survey will only take five minutes to complete – you can find it here.
Ariadna aims to engage with a comprehensive range of stakeholders, covering cities and the entire urban mobility value chain. These include public transport authorities, cities, research centres, technology providers, SMEs and start-ups and end users. Following the results of the survey and the interest from the partner cities, the project will provide dedicated support through tailored workshops to increase awareness on the use of Galileo and Copernicus to improve urban transport. Specifically, awareness will be raised on Galileo’s enhanced features for accurate and authenticated positioning, as well as synergies with Copernicus, to monitor the relevant indicators that can support the development of new sustainable urban mobility plans.

Ariadna aims to engage with a comprehensive range of stakeholders, covering cities and the entire urban mobility value chain. These include public transport authorities, cities, research centres, technology providers, SMEs and start-ups and end users. Following the results of the survey and the interest from the partner cities, the project will provide dedicated support through tailored workshops to increase awareness on the use of Galileo and Copernicus to improve urban transport. Specifically, awareness will be raised on Galileo’s enhanced features for accurate and authenticated positioning, as well as synergies with Copernicus, to monitor the relevant indicators that can support the development of new sustainable urban mobility plans.

The GSA aims to help cities emerge stronger from the COVID-19 pandemic by leveraging EGNSS (Galileo and EGNOS) and Copernicus synergies to make urban mobility more sustainable, as well as boost innovation and economic growth. To do this, the GSA is creating a network of cities that have decided to build better, more sustainable and efficient transport systems to support the recovery phase. With this in mind, a survey has been launched to understand the needs and develop tailored awareness raising and support actions on space for cities. The Horizon 2020 Ariadna project will take it further with dedicated support to facilitate the use of space for sustainable cities and its integration into new urban mobility schemes.
Transport represents almost a quarter of Europe's greenhouse gas emissions and is the main cause of air pollution in cities1. While Europe recovers from the COVID-19 crisis and lockdown measures are lifted, the demand for mobility is cautiously increasing. In this context, some cities have decided not to ‘return to normal’, but to take the opportunity to build a better, more sustainable and efficient transport system to support the recovery phase2.
Urban mobility is undergoing a profound transformation, with new mobility services and innovations allowing people to easily mix and match different modes of transportation. Space services are playing a key role in the modernisation of cities and urban transport, opening new possibilities to exploit the synergies of Galileo and Copernicus to go green. However, urban areas are obstacle-rich environments generating a “multipath effect” that results in reduced positioning accuracy.
Read this: European GNSS supports smarter mobility
But, by using Galileo capabilities in multi-frequency solutions the accuracy and time to fix a position is significantly improved. This is translated into a better location for vehicles, which is key to optimising network planning. Copernicus services can support emissions monitoring by validating the measurements from existing sensors and extrapolating data to areas not covered otherwise. They also provide advanced imagery to support urban planning and monitoring of activities in a city.
The H2020 Ariadna project will support all urban mobility stakeholders in ensuring that public transport delivers urban mobility in its broadest sense, which includes shared mobility and disruptive schemes such as Mobility as a Service (MaaS) using EGNSS and Copernicus. Together with Ariadna, the GSA is launching an initiative to bring cities that want to go greener and are looking for answers from space data together in the Space4Cities network.

Space services are playing a key role in the modernisation of cities and urban transport, opening new possibilities to exploit the synergies of Galileo and Copernicus to go green. However, urban areas are obstacle-rich environments generating a “multipath effect” that results in reduced positioning accuracy.

But, by using Galileo capabilities in multi-frequency solutions the accuracy and time to fix a position is significantly improved. This is translated into a better location for vehicles, which is key to optimising network planning. Copernicus services can support emissions monitoring by validating the measurements from existing sensors and extrapolating data to areas not covered otherwise. They also provide advanced imagery to support urban planning and monitoring of activities in a city.
The H2020 Ariadna project will support all urban mobility stakeholders in ensuring that public transport delivers urban mobility in its broadest sense, which includes shared mobility and disruptive schemes such as Mobility as a Service (MaaS) using EGNSS and Copernicus. Together with Ariadna, the GSA is launching an initiative to bring cities that want to go greener and are looking for answers from space data together in the Space4Cities network.
And this: Satellites and the City
To facilitate this process, the European GNSS Agency (GSA) and Ariadna have launched a survey to identify which cities would like to engage with the initiative, assess their needs and how EGNSS and Copernicus services and data can best help them to achieve their sustainable mobility goals. The survey will only take five minutes to complete – you can find it here.
Ariadna aims to engage with a comprehensive range of stakeholders, covering cities and the entire urban mobility value chain. These include public transport authorities, cities, research centres, technology providers, SMEs and start-ups and end users. Following the results of the survey and the interest from the partner cities, the project will provide dedicated support through tailored workshops to increase awareness on the use of Galileo and Copernicus to improve urban transport. Specifically, awareness will be raised on Galileo’s enhanced features for accurate and authenticated positioning, as well as synergies with Copernicus, to monitor the relevant indicators that can support the development of new sustainable urban mobility plans.

The GSA aims to help cities emerge stronger from the COVID-19 pandemic by leveraging EGNSS (Galileo and EGNOS) and Copernicus synergies to make urban mobility more sustainable, as well as boost innovation and economic growth. To do this, the GSA is creating a network of cities that have decided to build better, more sustainable and efficient transport systems to support the recovery phase. With this in mind, a survey has been launched to understand the needs and develop tailored awareness raising and support actions on space for cities. The Horizon 2020 Ariadna project will take it further with dedicated support to facilitate the use of space for sustainable cities and its integration into new urban mobility schemes.
Transport represents almost a quarter of Europe's greenhouse gas emissions and is the main cause of air pollution in cities1. While Europe recovers from the COVID-19 crisis and lockdown measures are lifted, the demand for mobility is cautiously increasing. In this context, some cities have decided not to ‘return to normal’, but to take the opportunity to build a better, more sustainable and efficient transport system to support the recovery phase2.

The GSA aims to help cities emerge stronger from the COVID-19 pandemic by leveraging EGNSS (Galileo and EGNOS) and Copernicus synergies to make urban mobility more sustainable, as well as boost innovation and economic growth. To do this, the GSA is creating a network of cities that have decided to build better, more sustainable and efficient transport systems to support the recovery phase. With this in mind, a survey has been launched to understand the needs and develop tailored awareness raising and support actions on space for cities. The Horizon 2020 Ariadna project will take it further with dedicated support to facilitate the use of space for sustainable cities and its integration into new urban mobility schemes.
Transport represents almost a quarter of Europe's greenhouse gas emissions and is the main cause of air pollution in cities1. While Europe recovers from the COVID-19 crisis and lockdown measures are lifted, the demand for mobility is cautiously increasing. In this context, some cities have decided not to ‘return to normal’, but to take the opportunity to build a better, more sustainable and efficient transport system to support the recovery phase2.
Urban mobility is undergoing a profound transformation, with new mobility services and innovations allowing people to easily mix and match different modes of transportation. Space services are playing a key role in the modernisation of cities and urban transport, opening new possibilities to exploit the synergies of Galileo and Copernicus to go green. However, urban areas are obstacle-rich environments generating a “multipath effect” that results in reduced positioning accuracy.

But, by using Galileo capabilities in multi-frequency solutions the accuracy and time to fix a position is significantly improved. This is translated into a better location for vehicles, which is key to optimising network planning. Copernicus services can support emissions monitoring by validating the measurements from existing sensors and extrapolating data to areas not covered otherwise. They also provide advanced imagery to support urban planning and monitoring of activities in a city.
The H2020 Ariadna project will support all urban mobility stakeholders in ensuring that public transport delivers urban mobility in its broadest sense, which includes shared mobility and disruptive schemes such as Mobility as a Service (MaaS) using EGNSS and Copernicus. Together with Ariadna, the GSA is launching an initiative to bring cities that want to go greener and are looking for answers from space data together in the Space4Cities network.
And this: Satellites and the City
To facilitate this process, the European GNSS Agency (GSA) and Ariadna have launched a survey to identify which cities would like to engage with the initiative, assess their needs and how EGNSS and Copernicus services and data can best help them to achieve their sustainable mobility goals. The survey will only take five minutes to complete – you can find it here.
Ariadna aims to engage with a comprehensive range of stakeholders, covering cities and the entire urban mobility value chain. These include public transport authorities, cities, research centres, technology providers, SMEs and start-ups and end users. Following the results of the survey and the interest from the partner cities, the project will provide dedicated support through tailored workshops to increase awareness on the use of Galileo and Copernicus to improve urban transport. Specifically, awareness will be raised on Galileo’s enhanced features for accurate and authenticated positioning, as well as synergies with Copernicus, to monitor the relevant indicators that can support the development of new sustainable urban mobility plans.

Together with Ariadna, the GSA is launching an initiative to bring cities that want to go greener and are looking for answers from space data together in the Space4Cities network.
And this: Satellites and the City
To facilitate this process, the European GNSS Agency (GSA) and Ariadna have launched a survey to identify which cities would like to engage with the initiative, assess their needs and how EGNSS and Copernicus services and data can best help them to achieve their sustainable mobility goals. The survey will only take five minutes to complete – you can find it here.
Ariadna aims to engage with a comprehensive range of stakeholders, covering cities and the entire urban mobility value chain. These include public transport authorities, cities, research centres, technology providers, SMEs and start-ups and end users. Following the results of the survey and the interest from the partner cities, the project will provide dedicated support through tailored workshops to increase awareness on the use of Galileo and Copernicus to improve urban transport. Specifically, awareness will be raised on Galileo’s enhanced features for accurate and authenticated positioning, as well as synergies with Copernicus, to monitor the relevant indicators that can support the development of new sustainable urban mobility plans.

The GSA aims to help cities emerge stronger from the COVID-19 pandemic by leveraging EGNSS (Galileo and EGNOS) and Copernicus synergies to make urban mobility more sustainable, as well as boost innovation and economic growth. To do this, the GSA is creating a network of cities that have decided to build better, more sustainable and efficient transport systems to support the recovery phase. With this in mind, a survey has been launched to understand the needs and develop tailored awareness raising and support actions on space for cities. The Horizon 2020 Ariadna project will take it further with dedicated support to facilitate the use of space for sustainable cities and its integration into new urban mobility schemes.
Transport represents almost a quarter of Europe's greenhouse gas emissions and is the main cause of air pollution in cities1. While Europe recovers from the COVID-19 crisis and lockdown measures are lifted, the demand for mobility is cautiously increasing. In this context, some cities have decided not to ‘return to normal’, but to take the opportunity to build a better, more sustainable and efficient transport system to support the recovery phase2.
Urban mobility is undergoing a profound transformation, with new mobility services and innovations allowing people to easily mix and match different modes of transportation. Space services are playing a key role in the modernisation of cities and urban transport, opening new possibilities to exploit the synergies of Galileo and Copernicus to go green. However, urban areas are obstacle-rich environments generating a “multipath effect” that results in reduced positioning accuracy.

But, by using Galileo capabilities in multi-frequency solutions the accuracy and time to fix a position is significantly improved. This is translated into a better location for vehicles, which is key to optimising network planning. Copernicus services can support emissions monitoring by validating the measurements from existing sensors and extrapolating data to areas not covered otherwise. They also provide advanced imagery to support urban planning and monitoring of activities in a city.

While Europe recovers from the COVID-19 crisis and lockdown measures are lifted, the demand for mobility is cautiously increasing. In this context, some cities have decided not to ‘return to normal’, but to take the opportunity to build a better, more sustainable and efficient transport system to support the recovery phase2.
Urban mobility is undergoing a profound transformation, with new mobility services and innovations allowing people to easily mix and match different modes of transportation. Space services are playing a key role in the modernisation of cities and urban transport, opening new possibilities to exploit the synergies of Galileo and Copernicus to go green. However, urban areas are obstacle-rich environments generating a “multipath effect” that results in reduced positioning accuracy.

But, by using Galileo capabilities in multi-frequency solutions the accuracy and time to fix a position is significantly improved. This is translated into a better location for vehicles, which is key to optimising network planning. Copernicus services can support emissions monitoring by validating the measurements from existing sensors and extrapolating data to areas not covered otherwise. They also provide advanced imagery to support urban planning and monitoring of activities in a city.
The H2020 Ariadna project will support all urban mobility stakeholders in ensuring that public transport delivers urban mobility in its broadest sense, which includes shared mobility and disruptive schemes such as Mobility as a Service (MaaS) using EGNSS and Copernicus. Together with Ariadna, the GSA is launching an initiative to bring cities that want to go greener and are looking for answers from space data together in the Space4Cities network.
And this: Satellites and the City
To facilitate this process, the European GNSS Agency (GSA) and Ariadna have launched a survey to identify which cities would like to engage with the initiative, assess their needs and how EGNSS and Copernicus services and data can best help them to achieve their sustainable mobility goals. The survey will only take five minutes to complete – you can find it here.
Ariadna aims to engage with a comprehensive range of stakeholders, covering cities and the entire urban mobility value chain. These include public transport authorities, cities, research centres, technology providers, SMEs and start-ups and end users. Following the results of the survey and the interest from the partner cities, the project will provide dedicated support through tailored workshops to increase awareness on the use of Galileo and Copernicus to improve urban transport. Specifically, awareness will be raised on Galileo’s enhanced features for accurate and authenticated positioning, as well as synergies with Copernicus, to monitor the relevant indicators that can support the development of new sustainable urban mobility plans.

Specifically, awareness will be raised on Galileo’s enhanced features for accurate and authenticated positioning, as well as synergies with Copernicus, to monitor the relevant indicators that can support the development of new sustainable urban mobility plans.

The GSA aims to help cities emerge stronger from the COVID-19 pandemic by leveraging EGNSS (Galileo and EGNOS) and Copernicus synergies to make urban mobility more sustainable, as well as boost innovation and economic growth. To do this, the GSA is creating a network of cities that have decided to build better, more sustainable and efficient transport systems to support the recovery phase. With this in mind, a survey has been launched to understand the needs and develop tailored awareness raising and support actions on space for cities. The Horizon 2020 Ariadna project will take it further with dedicated support to facilitate the use of space for sustainable cities and its integration into new urban mobility schemes.
Transport represents almost a quarter of Europe's greenhouse gas emissions and is the main cause of air pollution in cities1. While Europe recovers from the COVID-19 crisis and lockdown measures are lifted, the demand for mobility is cautiously increasing. In this context, some cities have decided not to ‘return to normal’, but to take the opportunity to build a better, more sustainable and efficient transport system to support the recovery phase2.
Urban mobility is undergoing a profound transformation, with new mobility services and innovations allowing people to easily mix and match different modes of transportation. Space services are playing a key role in the modernisation of cities and urban transport, opening new possibilities to exploit the synergies of Galileo and Copernicus to go green. However, urban areas are obstacle-rich environments generating a “multipath effect” that results in reduced positioning accuracy.

But, by using Galileo capabilities in multi-frequency solutions the accuracy and time to fix a position is significantly improved. This is translated into a better location for vehicles, which is key to optimising network planning. Copernicus services can support emissions monitoring by validating the measurements from existing sensors and extrapolating data to areas not covered otherwise. They also provide advanced imagery to support urban planning and monitoring of activities in a city.
The H2020 Ariadna project will support all urban mobility stakeholders in ensuring that public transport delivers urban mobility in its broadest sense, which includes shared mobility and disruptive schemes such as Mobility as a Service (MaaS) using EGNSS and Copernicus. Together with Ariadna, the GSA is launching an initiative to bring cities that want to go greener and are looking for answers from space data together in the Space4Cities network.
And this: Satellites and the City
To facilitate this process, the European GNSS Agency (GSA) and Ariadna have launched a survey to identify which cities would like to engage with the initiative, assess their needs and how EGNSS and Copernicus services and data can best help them to achieve their sustainable mobility goals. The survey will only take five minutes to complete – you can find it here.
Ariadna aims to engage with a comprehensive range of stakeholders, covering cities and the entire urban mobility value chain. These include public transport authorities, cities, research centres, technology providers, SMEs and start-ups and end users. Following the results of the survey and the interest from the partner cities, the project will provide dedicated support through tailored workshops to increase awareness on the use of Galileo and Copernicus to improve urban transport.

Copernicus services can support emissions monitoring by validating the measurements from existing sensors and extrapolating data to areas not covered otherwise. They also provide advanced imagery to support urban planning and monitoring of activities in a city.
The H2020 Ariadna project will support all urban mobility stakeholders in ensuring that public transport delivers urban mobility in its broadest sense, which includes shared mobility and disruptive schemes such as Mobility as a Service (MaaS) using EGNSS and Copernicus. Together with Ariadna, the GSA is launching an initiative to bring cities that want to go greener and are looking for answers from space data together in the Space4Cities network.
And this: Satellites and the City
To facilitate this process, the European GNSS Agency (GSA) and Ariadna have launched a survey to identify which cities would like to engage with the initiative, assess their needs and how EGNSS and Copernicus services and data can best help them to achieve their sustainable mobility goals. The survey will only take five minutes to complete – you can find it here.
Ariadna aims to engage with a comprehensive range of stakeholders, covering cities and the entire urban mobility value chain. These include public transport authorities, cities, research centres, technology providers, SMEs and start-ups and end users. Following the results of the survey and the interest from the partner cities, the project will provide dedicated support through tailored workshops to increase awareness on the use of Galileo and Copernicus to improve urban transport. Specifically, awareness will be raised on Galileo’s enhanced features for accurate and authenticated positioning, as well as synergies with Copernicus, to monitor the relevant indicators that can support the development of new sustainable urban mobility plans.

The GSA aims to help cities emerge stronger from the COVID-19 pandemic by leveraging EGNSS (Galileo and EGNOS) and Copernicus synergies to make urban mobility more sustainable, as well as boost innovation and economic growth. To do this, the GSA is creating a network of cities that have decided to build better, more sustainable and efficient transport systems to support the recovery phase. With this in mind, a survey has been launched to understand the needs and develop tailored awareness raising and support actions on space for cities. The Horizon 2020 Ariadna project will take it further with dedicated support to facilitate the use of space for sustainable cities and its integration into new urban mobility schemes.
Transport represents almost a quarter of Europe's greenhouse gas emissions and is the main cause of air pollution in cities1. While Europe recovers from the COVID-19 crisis and lockdown measures are lifted, the demand for mobility is cautiously increasing. In this context, some cities have decided not to ‘return to normal’, but to take the opportunity to build a better, more sustainable and efficient transport system to support the recovery phase2.
Urban mobility is undergoing a profound transformation, with new mobility services and innovations allowing people to easily mix and match different modes of transportation. Space services are playing a key role in the modernisation of cities and urban transport, opening new possibilities to exploit the synergies of Galileo and Copernicus to go green. However, urban areas are obstacle-rich environments generating a “multipath effect” that results in reduced positioning accuracy.

With this in mind, a survey has been launched to understand the needs and develop tailored awareness raising and support actions on space for cities. The Horizon 2020 Ariadna project will take it further with dedicated support to facilitate the use of space for sustainable cities and its integration into new urban mobility schemes.
Transport represents almost a quarter of Europe's greenhouse gas emissions and is the main cause of air pollution in cities1. While Europe recovers from the COVID-19 crisis and lockdown measures are lifted, the demand for mobility is cautiously increasing. In this context, some cities have decided not to ‘return to normal’, but to take the opportunity to build a better, more sustainable and efficient transport system to support the recovery phase2.
Urban mobility is undergoing a profound transformation, with new mobility services and innovations allowing people to easily mix and match different modes of transportation. Space services are playing a key role in the modernisation of cities and urban transport, opening new possibilities to exploit the synergies of Galileo and Copernicus to go green. However, urban areas are obstacle-rich environments generating a “multipath effect” that results in reduced positioning accuracy.
Read this: European GNSS supports smarter mobility
But, by using Galileo capabilities in multi-frequency solutions the accuracy and time to fix a position is significantly improved. This is translated into a better location for vehicles, which is key to optimising network planning. Copernicus services can support emissions monitoring by validating the measurements from existing sensors and extrapolating data to areas not covered otherwise. They also provide advanced imagery to support urban planning and monitoring of activities in a city.
The H2020 Ariadna project will support all urban mobility stakeholders in ensuring that public transport delivers urban mobility in its broadest sense, which includes shared mobility and disruptive schemes such as Mobility as a Service (MaaS) using EGNSS and Copernicus. Together with Ariadna, the GSA is launching an initiative to bring cities that want to go greener and are looking for answers from space data together in the Space4Cities network.
And this: Satellites and the City
To facilitate this process, the European GNSS Agency (GSA) and Ariadna have launched a survey to identify which cities would like to engage with the initiative, assess their needs and how EGNSS and Copernicus services and data can best help them to achieve their sustainable mobility goals. The survey will only take five minutes to complete – you can find it here.
Ariadna aims to engage with a comprehensive range of stakeholders, covering cities and the entire urban mobility value chain. These include public transport authorities, cities, research centres, technology providers, SMEs and start-ups and end users. Following the results of the survey and the interest from the partner cities, the project will provide dedicated support through tailored workshops to increase awareness on the use of Galileo and Copernicus to improve urban transport. Specifically, awareness will be raised on Galileo’s enhanced features for accurate and authenticated positioning, as well as synergies with Copernicus, to monitor the relevant indicators that can support the development of new sustainable urban mobility plans.

Ariadna aims to engage with a comprehensive range of stakeholders, covering cities and the entire urban mobility value chain. These include public transport authorities, cities, research centres, technology providers, SMEs and start-ups and end users. Following the results of the survey and the interest from the partner cities, the project will provide dedicated support through tailored workshops to increase awareness on the use of Galileo and Copernicus to improve urban transport. Specifically, awareness will be raised on Galileo’s enhanced features for accurate and authenticated positioning, as well as synergies with Copernicus, to monitor the relevant indicators that can support the development of new sustainable urban mobility plans.

The GSA aims to help cities emerge stronger from the COVID-19 pandemic by leveraging EGNSS (Galileo and EGNOS) and Copernicus synergies to make urban mobility more sustainable, as well as boost innovation and economic growth. To do this, the GSA is creating a network of cities that have decided to build better, more sustainable and efficient transport systems to support the recovery phase. With this in mind, a survey has been launched to understand the needs and develop tailored awareness raising and support actions on space for cities. The Horizon 2020 Ariadna project will take it further with dedicated support to facilitate the use of space for sustainable cities and its integration into new urban mobility schemes.
Transport represents almost a quarter of Europe's greenhouse gas emissions and is the main cause of air pollution in cities1. While Europe recovers from the COVID-19 crisis and lockdown measures are lifted, the demand for mobility is cautiously increasing. In this context, some cities have decided not to ‘return to normal’, but to take the opportunity to build a better, more sustainable and efficient transport system to support the recovery phase2.
Urban mobility is undergoing a profound transformation, with new mobility services and innovations allowing people to easily mix and match different modes of transportation. Space services are playing a key role in the modernisation of cities and urban transport, opening new possibilities to exploit the synergies of Galileo and Copernicus to go green. However, urban areas are obstacle-rich environments generating a “multipath effect” that results in reduced positioning accuracy.
Read this: European GNSS supports smarter mobility
But, by using Galileo capabilities in multi-frequency solutions the accuracy and time to fix a position is significantly improved. This is translated into a better location for vehicles, which is key to optimising network planning. Copernicus services can support emissions monitoring by validating the measurements from existing sensors and extrapolating data to areas not covered otherwise. They also provide advanced imagery to support urban planning and monitoring of activities in a city.
The H2020 Ariadna project will support all urban mobility stakeholders in ensuring that public transport delivers urban mobility in its broadest sense, which includes shared mobility and disruptive schemes such as Mobility as a Service (MaaS) using EGNSS and Copernicus. Together with Ariadna, the GSA is launching an initiative to bring cities that want to go greener and are looking for answers from space data together in the Space4Cities network.

Space services are playing a key role in the modernisation of cities and urban transport, opening new possibilities to exploit the synergies of Galileo and Copernicus to go green. However, urban areas are obstacle-rich environments generating a “multipath effect” that results in reduced positioning accuracy.

But, by using Galileo capabilities in multi-frequency solutions the accuracy and time to fix a position is significantly improved. This is translated into a better location for vehicles, which is key to optimising network planning. Copernicus services can support emissions monitoring by validating the measurements from existing sensors and extrapolating data to areas not covered otherwise. They also provide advanced imagery to support urban planning and monitoring of activities in a city.
The H2020 Ariadna project will support all urban mobility stakeholders in ensuring that public transport delivers urban mobility in its broadest sense, which includes shared mobility and disruptive schemes such as Mobility as a Service (MaaS) using EGNSS and Copernicus. Together with Ariadna, the GSA is launching an initiative to bring cities that want to go greener and are looking for answers from space data together in the Space4Cities network.
And this: Satellites and the City
To facilitate this process, the European GNSS Agency (GSA) and Ariadna have launched a survey to identify which cities would like to engage with the initiative, assess their needs and how EGNSS and Copernicus services and data can best help them to achieve their sustainable mobility goals. The survey will only take five minutes to complete – you can find it here.
Ariadna aims to engage with a comprehensive range of stakeholders, covering cities and the entire urban mobility value chain. These include public transport authorities, cities, research centres, technology providers, SMEs and start-ups and end users. Following the results of the survey and the interest from the partner cities, the project will provide dedicated support through tailored workshops to increase awareness on the use of Galileo and Copernicus to improve urban transport. Specifically, awareness will be raised on Galileo’s enhanced features for accurate and authenticated positioning, as well as synergies with Copernicus, to monitor the relevant indicators that can support the development of new sustainable urban mobility plans.

The GSA aims to help cities emerge stronger from the COVID-19 pandemic by leveraging EGNSS (Galileo and EGNOS) and Copernicus synergies to make urban mobility more sustainable, as well as boost innovation and economic growth. To do this, the GSA is creating a network of cities that have decided to build better, more sustainable and efficient transport systems to support the recovery phase. With this in mind, a survey has been launched to understand the needs and develop tailored awareness raising and support actions on space for cities. The Horizon 2020 Ariadna project will take it further with dedicated support to facilitate the use of space for sustainable cities and its integration into new urban mobility schemes.
Transport represents almost a quarter of Europe's greenhouse gas emissions and is the main cause of air pollution in cities1. While Europe recovers from the COVID-19 crisis and lockdown measures are lifted, the demand for mobility is cautiously increasing. In this context, some cities have decided not to ‘return to normal’, but to take the opportunity to build a better, more sustainable and efficient transport system to support the recovery phase2.

The colossus iceberg that split from Antarctica’s Larsen C ice shelf on 12 July 2017 is now in the open waters of the South Atlantic near the South Orkney Islands, about 1050 km from its birthplace. Having lost two chunks of ice, this record berg is a little less huge than it once was – and now that it is in rougher waters, it may break up further.
