Global Navigation Satellite Systems Engineering, Policy, and Design
The Trimble GuidEx Machine Guidance System uses an integrated GNSS and inertial navigation system (INS) to compute a virtual reference point and precise heading, pitch and roll. This provides quick and efficient navigation along route corridors or to specific target areas,

“Trains were born in Europe,” opens a recent report on European energy policy from the Jacques Delors Institute in Paris. So also, in some senses, were the Green movement and increased awareness of personal mobility options and potential. For the continent and the European Union community to maintain their world leadership in these two areas, the rail sector must play a greater role than it does presently, argues report author Matthias Ruete. He sees Galileo and EGNOS, the two European GNSS, as essential to this strategy.

The European Union has not done enough to harness the full potential of its space programs, according to a special report published April 21 by the European Court of Auditors (ECA). While the satellite-based programs Galileo and Copernicus provide valuable services and data, more efforts are needed to capitalize on the significant investment made — around €18 billion so far — and to optimize the benefits they bring to citizens and the economy.
