GOEASY will improve state of the art in several aspects of technology, in particular:
1. has realized a mobile gateway able to deliver authenticated position information, once the Galileo ICD containing the authentication schemes will be delivered
2. analyses the best practices and recommendations defined both for the hardware design of mobile devices and for the design and development of mobile applications. Then, it will contribute to define new best practices based on the lessons learned developing the GOEASY applications.
3. studies and implements solutions to build a secure communication channel between the mobile devices and the cloud platform.
4. we are extening the ALMANAC scalability infrastructure to handle air pollution data together with spirometers’ data and combine it with fog computing principles where relevant parts of the calculations are pre-processed in the mobile sensing nodes as well edge analytics in the users smart phones for the advice calculations.
5. GNSS security features can be used to provide current LBS frameworks a robust, standardized, out-of-the-box anti-location-spoofing capability.
6. will adopt existing platform federation techniques developed by ALMANAC in the area of Smart City / IoT platforms federation, extending the scope of such platform to provide interoperability with CAPs and platforms providing Location-based services.
7. certifies validity and trustworthiness of data provided via gamification applications solving issues such as trust, privacy and general data uncertainty
8. will innovate existing LBS approaches by introducing privacy aware features, thus increasing the protection and acceptance for the end user.
GOEASY directly addresses, and then impacts, mass-market Galileo applications.
1. GOEASY will demonstrate Galileo added value developing and testing two mass-market applications.
2. The GOEASY project will ultimately give to the consortium partners the final elements to decide on the best way to market GOEASY solutions jointly and/or individually.
3. GOEASY will in general benefit the whole GNSS eco-systems – also promoting a more widespread adoption of Galileo-enabled devices.
4. GOEASY tackles interoperability between location-based systems and IoT platforms, directly generating new opportunities for providers of connected devices based on Machine to Machine communication capabilities and transceivers for IoT applications.
5. GOEASY is an enabling infrastructure for the development of downstream applications, helping to maximize adoption of Galileo and EGNOS, but and also to stimulate the EU GNSS downstream industry competitiveness, while capturing public benefits.
6. GOEASY features two innovative SMEs as new players entering for the first time in contact with the sector of GNSS applications.
7. More in general, the increased trust on positioning and data protection, together with privacy protection, will ease croud-sourcing of mobility data by public authorities, that might be used for promoting specific mobility behaviours or to define mobility strategies.
