The ERSEC Project: Enhanced Road Safety by Integrating Egnos-Galileo Data with On-Board Control System

The general objective of the ERSEC project is concerned with the broadening of the scope of application to road transport of the EGNOS/GNSS (and later Galileo) through an appropriate integration and data fusion with measurement data coming from other measuring instruments. More specifically, the S&T objective of the project is to develop a measuring system to be used on board of vehicles able to output the position on the road map of the equipped vehicle and of all the obstacles (such as other vehicles, peoples and any kind of fixed or mobile objects) around it with a measurement accuracy of the order of 0.1 metre at a sampling rate of 100 Hz.
