GALILEONAUT is a mobile application that helps sailors to find their way inside a port or a marina. The solution provides a link between the harbour master's office of a port or marina and sailors. It allows the harbour master's office to assign a docking place to a boat entering the harbour, and the sailor to be guided to that place without requiring any assistance from the harbour master’s office. As soon as a request for an available docking place is sent by a sailor, the harbour master’s office can select an available place. GALILEONAUT will be interfaced with the harbour master’s office in order to have access to the available places.
LetMeAut
Fitness, sport and mHealth
LetMeAut leverages Galileo high accuracy to make everyday tasks easier for people with autism. The app aims at supporting both the subject and the family by giving proper instructions for outdoor daily-life movements. Already available applications are not integrated with signals, such as the localisation; this integration would let the family feel safer. The app will be divided into two UIs: one designed for the family and the other one for the autistic person.
PanPan - possible assistance needed
Fitness, sport and mHealth
The App is intended to serve as backup safety solution for when you are doing any kind of activity that might be dangerous and leave you in need of assistance. The App will come into action when you are not able to send a distress signal yourself. The user will activate the App before starting their activity. The App will update this data with location information in a configurable time interval. Once the user has reached their destination or aborts their activity the App will notify the server and the collected data is erased.
Ready Park
Smart navigation and infotainment
The ReadyPark app makes it possible to exchange parking spots in real-time (users leaving a spot are paired with users looking for one. You can also gain reputation tokens that can be spent in the app to gain parking priority over other drivers, and in a later phase be used to access deals provided by sponsors and B2B clients. Hence, ReadyPark is a market-creating innovation because it gives life to a new local marketplace, connecting drivers with local businesses. Moreover, it can boost the turnover of retailers located in areas with bad parking conditions.
STPR
Augmented reality and games
STPR is a Location Based Augmented Reality Game. A twist on traditional location-based games, its gameplay combines a virtual environment with game-related, physical experiences in the real world and vice versa. Players act in both worlds. This allows them to transform the physical space into the game world as a symbiosis of hybrid intuitive spaces. The essential element is the fluidity between physical and virtual stages of gameplay, hence the use of Augmented Reality. The game aims to provide high level educational and storytelling value to its users, who will embark on a journey, visiting places where they have never been and discovering historical secrets.
Tractor Navigator
Mapping, GIS and Agriculture
Tractor Navigator provides guidance for farmers driving tractors. It is a navigation app (like a car GPS) that enables users to visualise their current position and trajectory on an open field (no road). Using the app, farmers can also accurately follow a predefined trajectory with live feedback to correct deviations and record and load saved trajectories to pick up work from where they left off, thereby avoiding covering the same area twice.
Trukatu
Social networking with Smart navigation and infotainment
Trukatu is a mobile C2C platform app that connects renters who want to rent and owners who want to rent-out items. Based on the sharing-economy, Trukatu users can rent and lend anything that they are not using frequently. Trukatu also provides insurance - renters and lenders don’t need to worry because insurance is already included when they list or rent their items inside Trukatu. By renting items, we are indirectly supporting the sustainability of our energy and our resources as fewer products have to be produced. In this app, renters can get their items in three steps: search, rent, and meet. The app includes filters based on the renter's criteria such as meeting place, price range, and lender’s review.
uMaze
Augmented reality and games
uMaze creates mazes on specific outdoor areas and allows players to play in the produced mazes. To achieve this goal the application supports the maze creator and the players. The maze creator launches the uMaze app, and selects “creating a Maze”. The first step is to create the local cartography. This is done by the maze creator, which will specify the points needed to calculate the area needed for the maze. It is only now, thanks to the accuracy of Galileo, that it is possible to create and play small-scale virtual mazes utilising GNSS. The current GNSS accuracy makes it possible to create virtual paths in one’s backyard, opening a wide set of possibilities for new experiences for entertainment and learning.
30 teams selected
3PGo
Mapping, GIS and Agriculture
The 3PGo will embed Spaceopal's Precise Point Positioning engine on the smartphones, capable of calculating a high accuracy position by using the raw data of the smartphone’s integrated GNSS receiver combined with the correction data stream received from the NAVCAST server. 3PGo will allow users to record highly accurate 3D positions to measure outdoor distances and absolute/relative height with decimetre accuracy. These highly accurate measurements can either be used directly or exported in kml format and further processed.
AgroSpace
Mapping, GIS and Agriculture
After registering on our app, a farmer will be able to identify his fields through the coordinates provided by Galileo. The farmer can decide whether to define the type of cultivation in progress. The app, by comparing the latest normalised difference vegetation index (NDVI) maps, will provide an alarm to the farmer (by push notification) when a worsening of the NDVI index will be detected in his fields. In addition, the farmer will be able to register different cultivation operations (irrigation, fertilisation, phytosanitary treatments) in order to verify the correlation with the health of the crop (in term of the NDVI index trend).

COMPASS Mapping
GIS and Agriculture
COMPASS is a Computation Onboard Module for Positioning ASSistance. The role of the app will be to access the raw measurements of the GNSS and INS sensors, record them and compute a position with them. To that we add the possibility for our app to take pictures at regular intervals, logging them with a specific time and a precise position obtained from our sensors. This will allow both real-time rendering of the terrain, but also post-processing by users if they wish to apply a different computation model.
Delate
Geo-marketing and Advertising
Every day, millions of commuters suffer constant delays during their journeys by train, accumulating a considerable amount of lost minutes. This type of travel (relatively short and with a relatively low cost) is the most common but the least protected in terms of quality of service and refunds. Depending on the regulation in force in the various European countries, below a certain threshold, trains are not considered late, even if a few minutes can cause the loss of a connection with the next train/bus or in any case an inconvenience to the user. For the single commuter, the annual sum of this time translates into thousands of minutes lost. Delate turns commuters' minutes of delay into points that they can spend on physical and digital purchases.
DroneSAR
Drones
The DroneSAR app will facilitate the introduction of a crowdsourcing capability for search and rescue (SAR) by enabling end-users to appraise the drone data retrieved. These “virtual search managers” will be able to track the drone flight path, view live/archived drone video/images retrieved from the search area and interact with these images by using a variety of interactive tools to highlight regions of interest (ROI’s), tag a comment and relay findings back to incident commanders. This capability will help inform the SAR coordinators and responding team members so that full situation awareness is achieved leading to a more effective and efficient response.

RoadEO
Mapping, GIS and Agriculture
Road authorities spend billions of Euros every year to maintain our roads and these costs are expected to rise dramatically due to climate change and heavier traffic. This means new solutions are needed which move away from the current scheduled maintenance systems towards a predictive model that saves time and money. RoadEO makes use of a smartphone’s accelerometer, gyroscope, microphone, camera and of course GNSS module to record its environment while driving in a car, truck, bike or other mode of transport, and combines this with Earth observation data. These insights are used for predictive analytics and to advise road authorities when and where the next road segment needs to be maintained.
Sawcer
GIS and Agriculture, Geo marketing and advertising, Social networking
Sawcer is a mobile application and website that makes products in local shops and markets as easily searchable and discoverable as they are in online shops. Sawcer solves the pain point for customers wanting/needing to buy something when they don’t know where to get it. Local is the easiest, most convenient and often most cost-effective method, but it’s also currently the most difficult to know what is available and where. With Sawcer, the customer can search for a specific product and see a list of nearby shops that stock that product, as well as other key information such as what brands are stocked, photographs of the product, and so on.
