Test Infrastructure & Pilot Projects for Autonomous Shipping

Precise Vehicle Navigation not affected by the atmosphere

Accucom will develop a ‘Ground Based’ Positioning system, enabling 'Navigation Anywhere', with guaranteed accuracy, unaffected by atmosphere, in the fractions of metres. This will be achieved through a low-cost stand-alone Ground Infrastructure, and a mobile radio ranging system using trilateration to calculate a position.

Navigation accuracy and timely operations for critical situations

There exist a number of applications requiring reliable and accurate navigation services in environments difficult to access where available commercial products struggle to satisfy the variety of user demands. Such applications include very deep indoor applications, for which navigation accuracy and timely operations are critical to users, as for example in emergencies or underwater/urban-canyon situations.

Reducing environmental impact through autonomus shipping

Maritime transport is currently facing new challenges such as significant increases in transport volumes, more stringent environmental requirements and a shortage of seafarers in the future. One of the many new concepts having the potential to overcome these challenges is autonomous ship navigation. In particular, the concept is expected to allow for more efficient and competitive ship operations while reducing the vessels’ environmental impact.

Real-time indoor and outdoor precise tracking

GEONAV is a THALES innovative IoT solution, allowing real-time Indoor/Outdoor precise (<1m) tracking at PNT and User Ground Segments level and available worldwide. GEONAV positioning algorithms take advantage of two existing positioning technologies that have already proven themselves: E-GNSS (European Global Navigation Satellite System) and Ultra-Wide Band (UWB).
