Project Title: SMARTBUS PROJECT
Financial Scheme:
Description: GALILEO CALL.
Potential Coordinator: Leading Greek Telematics and Fleet Management Solutions provider specializing in both software and hardware for Public Transport providers and private transport companies.
ABSTRACT: The SMARTBUS project will concentrate on research required so as to upgrade a Fleet Management and Telematics System currently using the GPS constellation and operating in a real world environment through a Public Bus Transport Provider, to using the Galileo constellation having the ability to not only receive, but to also transmit using Galileo and the EGNOS signal.
TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION: The SMARTBUS project will concentrate on research required so as to upgrade a Fleet Management and Telematics System currently using the GPS constellation and operating in a real world environment through a Public Bus Transport Provider, to using the Galileo constellation having the ability to not only receive, but to also transmit using Galileo and the EGNOS signal. Research and development into upgrading existing Fleet Management software will need to be undertaken so as to be able to take full advantage of the Galileo’s 3rd layer capabilities for use in communication and steer away from current GSM/GPRS data transfer methods. Research and development into new hardware with EGNOS capabilities will also have to be undertaken.
The system itself will concentrate on the reception of the EGNOS signal by each vehicle in the fleet via the onboard Telematics device fitted with an EGNOS receiver/transmitter. From the received signal, geographical location data will be extrapolated along with precise time, speed and altitude. The processed data will then be forwarded to the control centre via the Galileo constellation through a satellite service provider.
Currently, this data is collected by the Telematics device using the GPS constellation and then forwarded to the control centre using the GSM/GPRS network available as GPS is only able to send to a device and not receive. This limitation will be overcome when the EGNOS system comes online.
Additional data such as whether the engine is operating, the air conditioning unit is operating, fuel reserves and tire pressures etc will be collected, along with connectivity to ticket validation devices and the route allocation sign in the front of the vehicle. It will also have the option to manage the driver’s allocated shift by using a smartcard that will be issued to every driver with their serial number and will connect to the ERP payroll system.
The system also connects to the Audio and Visual Notification system located inside the bus. By harnessing the Galileo signal and processing the exact location of the vehicle, the software will process, via an algorithm, where the next stop is and announce that stop via the loudspeakers installed in each bus. A visual notification will also be displayed via an LED display sign inside the vehicle.
The 3rd phase of the project involves converting existing “Smart Bus Stops” to operate using the EGNOS signal. Currently there are LED display signs installed at bus stops showing the route number of the next approaching bus, its destination and the estimated time of arrival to that stop. The Telematics device currently installed within these signs makes use of the GPS constellation to receive its current geographical location in relation to the
geographical location of the vehicle and sends and receives this data via the GPS/GPRS network. Research and development into a new Telematics device harnessing the EGNOS signal must be undertaken for these signs to work using the Galileo constellation.
A horizontal activity associated with this project will be to analyze the difference in statistical data received by using the EGNOS system compared to the GPS system and for the development of new services based on Galileo’s 3rd layer capabilities.

Il bando in oggetto, pur incentrato nel settore ICT, presenta ottime opportunità di finanziamento per proponenti con interesse nel tema Energy. In particolare la Challenge 6 “ICT for Mobility, Environment Sustainability and Energy Efficiency” favorisce un vantaggioso link tra il settore ICT e il settore Energy.
L´evento è organizzato dall´ APRE, per conto del Ministero dell´Università e della Ricerca e in collaborazione con
l´ ASTER di Bologna, ed avrà luogo a Bologna il 31 Ottobre 2008, presso “Area di Ricerca CNR”, Via Gobetti, sala 105.
Sarà un funzionario della Commissione Europea ad illustrare le opportunità del bando e fornire suggerimenti individuali per la presentazione di idee progettuali.
La giornata sarà scandita dall´intervento sia dei delegati e degli esperti nazionali sia di attori che operano nel settore ICT con l´obiettivo di fornire interessanti stimoli, riflessioni e suggerimenti relativamente alla presentazione di proposte a forte impatto qualitativo in tema ICT.
http://www.apre.it/Eventi/iscrizione.asp?id=869
L´incontro con la Commissione Europea e con i delegati ed esperti nazionali sarà possibile previa compilazione ed invio della scheda di colloquio disponibile al link che segue:
http://www.apre.it/attach/Scheda_Incontri%20CE.doc
Le schede dovranno pervenire entro e non oltre il 20 ottobre 2008 ai seguenti indirizzi mail deangelis@apre.it , borgna@apre.it .
Per limiti di tempo potrà essere accettato un numero ristretto di richieste in base all´ordine di ricezione delle schede. La durata del colloquio con il funzionario della Commissione sarà adeguata al numero di richieste pervenute e comunque non potrà superare i 10 minuti.
Per ogni altra informazione o chiarimento:

<Project Title: Chlewiska Project>
<Financial Scheme: Progetti in collaborazione – Large>
<Description: Chlewiska is a rural community in the central part of Poland. Area of Chlewiska is of 12.400 ha. It is occupied by 6.500 inhabitants. About 50% of the area is covered with forest. The community has already undertaken some activities directed towards development of the sustainable energy system based on thermo-modernization and installation of new boilers in schools, community buildings and health center.
The aim of the project is to organize a self-sufficient heat generation system for rural community based on local biomass resources (especially from forestry), taking into account the improvement of local community´s quality of life. The project will concentrate both on public and private buildings (integrated central and individual systems). It will concern existing buildings and infrastructure:
– public utility buildings in the center of the community with central heating system,
– groups of private houses – linked into central heating system,
– individual independent units (farmers).
It is assumed that the space of around 8.000-12.000 m2 will be modernized up to the best Polish building standards.
Additionally a new planned Community administration building will be designed and constructed according to the top innovative approaches.
It is envisioned that the biomass supply system will be exclusively based on local sources of biomass including agricultural wastes, forestry low grade wood and wastes from wood processing. Additionally the biomass will be produced from multi purposed oriented cultivations e.g. vegetation buffer zones of roads, rivers, fields.
There will be demonstrated the following technical solutions in the project: boilers for biomass (equipped with filters), thermo-modernization of buildings, innovative methods of accommodations´ ventilation, techniques of biomass production and processing, energy efficiency solutions, solar panels, integration of all these energy sources and utilities within the system.
Organisational and legal measures are proposed in the local community to support the sustainability of the planned approach.
