• Activity Exploiting the full potential
• Area Safety-of-Life applications
• Description of topic Galileo-2008-1.4-1 (b)

3
Past projects proved EGNOS benefits for Rail
Maritime need to be further developed

• Rail Maritime remain two important user
  communities
• SoL regulated applications have long lead times
  (e.g. certification)

This project is addressing EGNOS SoL use and
preparation to Galileo

• Main objectives are
• To advance on past work and tackle roadblocks,
  propose solutions
• Finalize a roadmap for SoL service introduction
• Have real life demo proving concepts
• Other objectives
• Analyse cost and benefits of EGNOS/Galileo
• Preliminary business cases from public/private
  perspective

FAQ 1/3

• Where do you see the RD value of this project ?
• Tackling the unresolved issues highlighted in
  past projects by propose innovative technical
  solutions
• Is it a continuation of past projects, like
  GRAIL/MARUSE (i.e. same concept) ?
• Questions/issues raised by previous research
  should be reviewed and solutions provided. New
  approaches are welcome, if proved to be more
  effective (e.g., to tackle open issues along the
  whole value chain, including regulatory ones)
• Do you expect a well-written report ?
• Yes but also real-life demos as proof of
  concepts/solutions proposed
• Project specifications
• Duration up to 24 months
• Collaborative project (youll have to match 50
  of the total budget)

FAQ 2/3

• I run past FP Rail and/or Maritime related
  project, do I have an advantage here ?
• Selection will be strictly based on the merits
  of the proposal and capability of the consortium,
  independently of past participation on similar
  research
• Do you focus more on rail or maritime ?
• The two are relevant. Most innovative/impactful
  proposal will win
• Who would be the ideal consortiums members ?
• Public and private organization that can tackle
  all the open issues along the entire chain of
  operations

FAQ 3/3

• Is there any geographical focus ?
• Pan-European trials (i.e., cross-border)
  will be most welcome
• Is it a continuation of past projects, like
  GRAIL/MARUSE (i.e. can I repackage past work -)
  ?
• We do not want to duplicate/replicate past work,
  though we shall build on the knowledge created by
  past investments
• Do I need a business plan in my proposal?
  Yes,we do not intend to finance proposals
  with no perspectives
• I didnt quite get what do you expect out of
  spending this money
• List of SoL Rail or Maritime applications that
  can be realistically pursued (having tested
  feasibility) and a program plan on how to get
  them adopted

Final remarks

• Coordination with other projects
• EC/GSA encourages collaboration among FP7
  projects
• Be ready to participate in meetings and organise
  workshops
• Use all the new media available to maximize
  dissemination
