Fulfilling enhanced location accuracy in the mass market through Initial Galileo Services
H2020 Project 776436
1 Nov. 2017 - 31 May 2020
GOALS
-
Satellite Navigation (GNSS) positioning on your smartphone is, at best, to an accuracy of 5-10m dependent on your environment. Imagine a time when your smartphone can deliver better than 50cm accuracy. With thanks to Google opening up a GNSS raw measurement API on the Android Nougat/N OS, that time is now.
-
FLAMINGO shall facilitate and demonstrate the future of positioning in mass-market devices by producing a mechanism for high accuracy and reliable positioning and navigation, by exploiting the European satellite navigation Galileo system (E-GNSS) in consumer applications.
-
The overarching objectives of FLAMINGO are to develop and deliver high accuracy positioning and navigation services for mass market uptake, to demonstrate the potential by developing and showcasing ready to market applications on both smartphone and IoT devices within major European cities supporting European ambitions on Smart Cities and Communities, and to foster a new community of E-GNSS consumers and applications.
We will:
Build the enabling infrastructure and services for high accuracy positioning
Demonstrate applications on smartphones and IoT devices
Teach, and assist with, the development of your applications that will be created by, or benefit from, FLAMINGO
