The G-MOTIT project has been completed during this 2nd period. The final meeting took place successfully on May 22nd – 23rd at GSA premises (Prague).
As presented in detail in this final report, the G-MOTIT project activities took place mostly as initially planned in the DoA. The project successfully demonstrated that Galileo, combined with GPS and other satellite navigation systems, can provide a reliable solution for mobility services operating in urban environment, providing a more reliable positioning solution even in narrow streets of the old suburbs.
During the project 1st period, the technical work went through the requirements definition, system-level design, positioning unit sub-component design and development. The technical developments were finalised at the beginning of the 2nd period, consisting on a unit developed on a market ready HW platform compliant with automotive requirements. This unit was tested intensively through operational pilots with e-scooters (Barcelona), e-bikes (Paris and Barcelona) and a fire-fighters truck.
In terms of communication, the project combined overall communication of the project through the channels established during the 1st period (website, twitter) and specific activities addressing user local communities where the pilots took place (Paris and Barcelona). G-MOTIT Project also participated in different key events in the EGNSS and ITS sectors, which have allowed networking opportunities with different stakeholders and created potential business opportunities for the project. As an example, the Smart City Congress 2016 and Electric Vehicle Symposium & Exhibition 2017.
In terms of assessing and improving the business potential of the solution, an in-depth market analysis and exploitation plan for the technology has been produced, addressing the potentiality of the vehicle-sharing sector. The potentiality of the G-MOTIT technology for other mobility services has been also explored through two additional pilots (e-bikes and firefighters trucks in Barcelona).
