Read the articleThe European GNSS Agency (GSA) held a workshop at the CLGE General Assembly to complete the understanding of surveyor and reference network-provider needs with regard to EGNOS and Galileo.
In 2015, the European GNSS Agency (GSA) in cooperation with the Council of European Geodetic Surveyors
(CLGE) launched a questionnaire to better understand the unique global navigation satellite system (GNSS) needs of surveyors and reference network providers. What they found is a sector that is mostly Galileo-ready.
Of all reference network providers surveyed, nearly half are currently Galileo-ready, with 78 % of those not Galileo-equipped planning to do so by 2017. As for professional surveyors, almost 25 % from the public sector and 20 % from the private sector are using Galileo-equipped GNSS receivers. Furthermore, the majority of the surveying-related GNSS receivers now entering the market are Galileo-capable, meaning one can expect nearly full Galileo adoption in Europe within the coming years.
Mark your calendars: E-GNSS workshop at Geospatial World Forum
The results were presented and discussed with surveyors from various EU and non-EU countries during a dedicated Galileo workshop held within the CLGE General Assembly in Tirana, Albania. During the workshop, particular attention was given to the upcoming declaration of Galileo Initial Services. According to the GSA, this, along with the accelerated Galileo satellite launches, will provide immediate benefits and improvements to mapping and surveying activities already from the Initial Services phase, planned to start in late 2016. The surveyors are welcoming the advantages of multi-constellation (including better GNSS coverage in Northern latitudes) as well as Galileo’s improved performance in harsh environments. Other topics discussed included unmanned aerial systems (UASs), and such new phenomena as ‘democratisation’ of mapping/surveying and envisioning future GNSS applications.
As the surveying community demands highly accurate positioning services, it was naturally one of the early adopters of GNSS technology. The GSA is continuously tightening its connection with the European surveying community: as an example, the Surveying department of the SWECO, a Swedish manufacturer of industrial equipment (http://www.sweco.se/en/) visited the GSA Headquarters on 22 April 2016.
On 26 April , GSA Market Development team participated to the Swedish Mapping Days in Gävle, discussed the imminent upgrade to full Galileo capability with the representatives of the Swedish reference network providers (SWEPOS - Swedish Positioning RTK Network, Swedish Maritime Administration, who runs a DGNSS network).
Standing out is the partnership of GSA with the CLGE that also includes sponsorship of the CLGE Annual Young Surveyor’s Prize, participation to events (e.g., the president of CLGE, Maurice Barbieri, is an invited speaker at the E-GNSS workshop at the Geospatial World Forum).
The CLGE represents and promotes the interests of its members in both Europe’s private and public sectors, and serves as a permanent forum for European geodetic surveyors committed to European cooperation. CLGE’s activities aim to promote the exchange of technical, scientific, educational and organisational know-how among its Member States, along with providing assistance to governments, national associations and EU institutions.

Read the articleThe New Mexico Department of Public Safety has selected an integrated suite of public safety software from Hexagon Safety & Infrastructure for its state-wide incident management system. For use by the New Mexico State Police, the computer-aided dispatch (CAD), mobile and analytics solution will improve call handling and dispatching, enhance officer response and enable agency-wide reporting.
Replacing a decades-old system, the Hexagon solution will modernize the Department of Public Safety’s incident management capabilities by providing a robust platform to meet the high demands of its dispatching operations and field units. The solution will also help the agency achieve its long-term goal of expanding incident management capabilities to other agencies across the state.
“We required a configurable dispatch and mobile solution that could enhance our current operating processes and also support our efforts to create a state-wide incident management system,” said Cesario Alvillar, project management bureau chief, New Mexico Department of Public Safety. “The Hexagon solution will help us meet our goals through a modern, scalable platform built for future growth.”
“The New Mexico State Police is pleased to partner with Hexagon Safety & Infrastructure as our provider for the state-wide Intergraph CAD system,” said New Mexico State Police Chief Pete Kassetas. “My number one priority as chief is keeping our communities and officers safe. The Intergraph CAD system will enable us to improve our ability to serve the public and allow us to function overall in a more effective manner,”
The Department of Public Safety’s solution features Hexagon’s industry-leading incident management software, Intergraph Computer-Aided Dispatch (I/CAD), which will be used by the multiple New Mexico State Police dispatch centers located throughout New Mexico.

The 2016 Farming by Satellite Prize, sponsored by the European GNSS Agency (GSA), is open to students and young farmers with innovative ideas for using satellite technology to improve agricultural production, efficiency and profit.
With a cash prize of EUR 13 000, the 2016 edition of the Farming by
Satellite Prize is now open for submissions. The prize, an initiative of the European GNSS Agency (GSA), is open to students and young farmers across Europe and Africa with innovative ideas for using satellite technology to improve agricultural production, efficiency and profit, or to reduce the sector’s environmental impact. This year’s edition is sponsored by CLAAS and Bayer CropScience.
Launched in 2012, the Farming by Satellite Prize is held every 2 years. The last edition saw submissions from over 29 countries covering such topics as geo-referenced online data platforms, swarm technologies, precision seed-planting robots, selective olive harvesting and using drones for early famine warning systems in Africa. The first prize in 2014 went to Daniel Hege of Geisenheim University in Germany, whose successful project used satellite-guided steering during the cultivation of mixed vegetables to both increase productivity by reducing planting gaps and reduce time spent in the field by increasing the speed of accurate weed control.
“With this prize, we want young people to actively think about imaginative solutions that employ such satellite technologies as the European Geostationary Navigation Overlay Service (EGNOS) and Galileo, which can help farmers around the world,” says GSA Head of Market Development Gian-Gherardo Calini.
Precision agriculture is a highly effective farming strategy that allows farmers to better allocate inputs, such as seeds and fertilisers, to increase productivity, lower costs and minimise the environmental impact. Traditionally, the main obstacle to wide-scale application of precision agriculture has been the substantial investment required. EGNOS and Galileo fundamentally change the equation by offering high precision at low cost.
The main advantages of satellite technologies in agriculture include high accuracy and the repeatability of the same action year on year. These two fundamental advantages lead to valuable benefits, including:
reduced waste through the over-application of fertilisers and herbicides;
The Farming by Satellite Prize is open to both individuals and teams from universities or commercial organisations. To compete, one must submit case studies, new ideas or innovations that rely on EGNOS, Galileo or Copernicus. Registration closes 30 October 2016, with final submissions due by 15 December 2016.

Hexagon Safety & Infrastructure has released Intergraph Damage Assessment, an application that enables end-to-end automation of the entire post-storm damage assessment process. Intergraph Damage Assessment can be used for simple outage patrols, as well as in times of devastating storm damage, making it an everyday solution that maximizes return on investment for electric utility companies.
Intergraph Damage Assessment’s integrated components originate in the storm room and extend to the field and back for a complete, automated solution. Supervisors can assign assessment work and visualize and analyse up-to-date data from a web-based application. Field crews using tablets can perform assessments against GIS network facility data and send results back in real-time.
Unlike disaster documentation systems, Intergraph Damage Assessment is specific to utility workflows, and unlike other damage assessment applications, it integrates with any geographic information system (GIS) or outage management system (OMS), featuring both a field application and supervisory dashboard for end-to-end workflows.
“Intergraph Damage Assessment automates the complete damage assessment process, helping utility companies identify storm-affected areas, determine proper staffing levels and obtain feedback on physical damage in real time,” said Eric Charette, executive manager of utilities, Hexagon Safety & Infrastructure. “Dispatchers stay better informed on the extent of damage, while storm managers can track progress. With Intergraph Damage Assessment, better information from the field ultimately leads to more accurate restoration times.”
Expectations to improve customer service and reduce restoration times is at an all-time high for electric utility companies. “Sending assessors out in advance to conduct Damage Assessment helps prioritize the hardest hit areas so that we can focus the deployment of our lineman on rebuilding the grid,” said Len Socha, senior outage management engineer, Wisconsin Public Service Corp.
However, most companies’ existing processes for damage assessment involve manual, paper-based data collection using outdated, printed map books or custom, in-house applications. They provide little real-time feedback to the storm supervisor during the assessment process, and any information collected must be manually entered into the OMS.
Intergraph Damage Assessment overcomes these hurdles. Within Intergraph Damage Assessment, a web-based application displays the location of outages, field crews and network facilities and enables supervisors to assign work by geographic areas. A tablet-based mobile application uses web services to provide views of outages, crews and GIS facility information as a layer on top of commercial maps, which enables workers to collect data in the field for comprehensive damage assessment. Using the web-based application back in the storm room, supervisors can view that information and run reports and analysis to determine the extent of damage and aid in restoration strategy. Server-side event processing and industry-standard messaging enable integration with other systems for collection results, including materials required to rebuild the network, leading to real-time intelligent decision making, which is not possible when using outdated paper maps.
Extensive hands-on field testing of Intergraph Damage Assessment was conducted as part of the certification cycle. “We felt it was vital to get Intergraph Damage Assessment in the hands of users to test the application in the field under real-world conditions that you can’t simulate in the office,” Charette said.
The release of Intergraph Damage Assessment coincides with the Midwest Mutual Assistance Group Conference in Chicago, Illinois. Hexagon Safety & Infrastructure is a sponsor of the conference, which meets to discuss electric utility resource management, storm restoration techniques and damage assessment.
Hexagon Safety & Infrastructure helps utilities and communications companies achieve greater reliability, increase efficiency and fulfill the expectations of customers, shareholders and regulators. A pioneer in the development and application of location-based technology, Hexagon Safety & Infrastructure provides solutions to hundreds of utilities and communications customers around the globe, supporting network engineering, network operations, customer services, sales and marketing and physical security.

Intergraph Damage Assessment can be used for simple outage patrols, as well as in times of devastating storm damage, making it an everyday solution that maximizes return on investment for electric utility companies.
Intergraph Damage Assessment’s integrated components originate in the storm room and extend to the field and back for a complete, automated solution. Supervisors can assign assessment work and visualize and analyse up-to-date data from a web-based application. Field crews using tablets can perform assessments against GIS network facility data and send results back in real-time.
Unlike disaster documentation systems, Intergraph Damage Assessment is specific to utility workflows, and unlike other damage assessment applications, it integrates with any geographic information system (GIS) or outage management system (OMS), featuring both a field application and supervisory dashboard for end-to-end workflows.
“Intergraph Damage Assessment automates the complete damage assessment process, helping utility companies identify storm-affected areas, determine proper staffing levels and obtain feedback on physical damage in real time,” said Eric Charette, executive manager of utilities, Hexagon Safety & Infrastructure. “Dispatchers stay better informed on the extent of damage, while storm managers can track progress. With Intergraph Damage Assessment, better information from the field ultimately leads to more accurate restoration times.”
Expectations to improve customer service and reduce restoration times is at an all-time high for electric utility companies. “Sending assessors out in advance to conduct Damage Assessment helps prioritize the hardest hit areas so that we can focus the deployment of our lineman on rebuilding the grid,” said Len Socha, senior outage management engineer, Wisconsin Public Service Corp.
However, most companies’ existing processes for damage assessment involve manual, paper-based data collection using outdated, printed map books or custom, in-house applications. They provide little real-time feedback to the storm supervisor during the assessment process, and any information collected must be manually entered into the OMS.
Intergraph Damage Assessment overcomes these hurdles. Within Intergraph Damage Assessment, a web-based application displays the location of outages, field crews and network facilities and enables supervisors to assign work by geographic areas. A tablet-based mobile application uses web services to provide views of outages, crews and GIS facility information as a layer on top of commercial maps, which enables workers to collect data in the field for comprehensive damage assessment. Using the web-based application back in the storm room, supervisors can view that information and run reports and analysis to determine the extent of damage and aid in restoration strategy. Server-side event processing and industry-standard messaging enable integration with other systems for collection results, including materials required to rebuild the network, leading to real-time intelligent decision making, which is not possible when using outdated paper maps.
Extensive hands-on field testing of Intergraph Damage Assessment was conducted as part of the certification cycle. “We felt it was vital to get Intergraph Damage Assessment in the hands of users to test the application in the field under real-world conditions that you can’t simulate in the office,” Charette said.
The release of Intergraph Damage Assessment coincides with the Midwest Mutual Assistance Group Conference in Chicago, Illinois. Hexagon Safety & Infrastructure is a sponsor of the conference, which meets to discuss electric utility resource management, storm restoration techniques and damage assessment.
