GMV NSL Ltd and Thales Alenia Space have presented the results of the NAVISP EL1 034 project, ‘AI-Enabled Baseband Algorithms For High-Fidelity Measurements’ (AlnGNSS). Using selected AI-enabled algorithms, the project demonstrated some significant improvements in PVT performance compared to conventional GNSS PVT methods. However, the overall impact of AI was not substantial.

As part of its climate change policy aimed at reducing emissions by 70% by 2030, the Danish Government is rapidly moving towards the introduction of a GNSS-based road user charging (RUC) scheme for heavy goods vehicles (HGV). The intention is to introduce the new system starting in 2025, which will replace Denmark’s participation in the Eurovignette scheme, which applies to HGV weighing 12 tons or more.
