Key role of Galileo in sustainable development

• What is sustainable development?Sustainable development is a pattern of economic growth in which resource use aims to meet human needs while

preserving the environment so that these needs can be met not only in the present, but also for generations to come.

• What is the role of Galileo/EGNOS in ensuring sustainable development?Aviation-Decrease in delays and diversions due to EGNOS use in landings reduce fuel burn, CO2 emissions and noiseRoad-Road tolling systems based on GNSS reduce congestion and pollution-Route planning ensures getting to destination faster, with fuel consumption, CO2 emission and noise reduction-eCall service increases safety on the roads, faster response to dangerous situation limits environmental impact-Precise tracking of dangerous goods transportation minimizes the risk of environmental damagesAgriculture-Precision agriculture ensures a better use of the limited arable area by providing higher yields per hectare-Precise spraying of pesticides and fertilizers reduces their environmental impact-Tracking of animal movement by tagging them with receivers (helping not only in agriculture but in wildlife)Maritime-Collision avoidance minimizes the risk of spillages of dangerous substances-Tracking of fishery vessels protects the fish population by avoiding illegal catches

Examples of R&D with environmental focus- Dangerous goods transportation (Scutum)- Extending the lifetime of highways by precise construction of road layers (ATLAS)- Precise salt spraying (GoldenIce)- Tracking of CO2 emissions in vehicles (OpenCarData project)- Prediction of earthquakes (I2GPS project)- Rescue operations with GNSS (CloseSearch)

What sustainable development really is?

“Pattern of economic growth in which resource use aims to meet human needs while preserving the environment so that these needs can be met not only in the present, but also for generations to come.„

The word sustainable has been used in too many situations today. Everything contributes to Sustainability!

Galileo-EGNOS benefits in aviation

Decrease in delays and diversions in landings:

EGNOS provides significant benefits for passengers, airports, airlines and the environment

- Fuel burn - CO2 emissions - Noise

Aviation represents 2% of global CO2 emissions*

However, the increasing number of flights routes each year, as well as the frequent traffic collapse, have led Europe to take measures, such as the recent inclusion of airlines in the EU Emissions Trading System (ETS)

Development of road tolling systems reduces congestion

Route planning ensures getting to destination faster

eCall service increases road safety and ensures fast response to dangerous situations

Precise tracking of dangerous goods

Road transport represents about 20% of EU's total emissions of CO2*

Galileo provides significant benefits in terms of costs, speed and effectiveness

Collision avoidance minimizes spillages of substances

Tracking of fishery vessels protects the fish population

Galileo benefits in maritime transport

- Fuel consumption - Environmental

accidents- Illegal catches- Life-threats

Galileo provides significant benefits in terms of costs, security and environmental impact

Manage meteo-forecasting and nowcasting information

Decrease of security risks:

Examples of R&D projects with focus on sustainability

SMART-WAY: Galileo based navigation in public transport systems with passenger interaction.

COSMEMOS: Galileo added value to commercial fleets (Corsicaferries) and leisure boats

SMART-WAY was awarded in Sustainable Transportation (2012)

COSMEMOS: Galileo’s meteo-forecasting to reduce Marine fuel consumption & risks

SMART-WAY: Position accuracy & confidence Guarantee for tracking & tracing services

GOLDEN-ICE: The large quantities of salt required has environmental impacts and high economical costs

SCUTUM: Galileo/EGNOS benefits for dangerous goods transports

GOLDEN-ICE: Galileo’s accuracy in precise salt spreading for road safety

ENI is now tracking +200 operating vehicles in Italy, France and Austria

A new green solution for highway companies and municipalities

daily involved in winter maintenance operations

Examples of R&D projects on sustainability
