Galileo for Interactive Driving the GAIN Project
The aim of the GAIN project is to develop and finalize the Enhanced Active Green Driving (EAGD) system for real time optimization and reduction of carbon dioxide (CO2) emission and fuel consumption. The proposed solution is based on an already existing prototype called Active Green Driving (AGD) which needs to be extended and optimized. Due to erroneous positioning solutions, the AGD prototype often proposes inappropriate manoeuvres to the driver. For preparing a successful market entry to this green driving application, this limitation has to be removed. Within the GAIN project, a refined positioning algorithm based on Galileo/GPS multi-constellation Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) and EGNOS/EDAS data will be developed. Further, the concept of position integrity is introduced and used to innovatively detect multipath in urban areas through a GNSS/INS tightly coupled approach and 3D modelling of the environment. Furthermore, communication through Vehicle-to-Vehicle standards will be used to extend the Electronic Horizon to provide dynamic information about other vehicles present on the road. This paper gives an overview about the project objectives and introduces the technical approach.
