Gallant is a pilot project devoted to the application of the future Galileo for road transport safety and mobility. The project has addressed studies for the integration of Galileo with advanced driver assistant systems (ADAS) aiming the demonstration of the benefits coming from the integration of the satellite localisation system performances (e.g. increased availability, higher continuity level, possibility to have integrity information etc.).
Car manufactures, automotive and technology suppliers are cooperating since years for the development of ADAS systems at European level. Nevertheless, until the lunch of the Gallant project, the experience has been led to the awareness of a more precise localisation service. With the next generation localisation system, the additional possibility to have a certified and reliable vehicle position (i.e. the system warns the user when the localisation service fails) will allow the ADAS application to reach the requested reliability as well as to resolve those cases which are not detectable by the on-board sensors.
Most of the ADAS applications considered in the Gallant project involve the safety of the vehicle occupants and are considered belonging to the cluster of the safety of life applications which require high degree of accuracy, integrity and reliability/availability. Certification and guarantee of the service are mandatory to set a suitable level of liability from the service provider and for all the legal and institutional implications of this type of services. Safety of life applications will also take benefits from a precise localisation of the vehicle on the road network and into the road boundaries. Furthermore the association with high quality digital maps, in terms of accurate road geometry, allows a precise and reliable scenario reconstruction that is the prerequisite for all automatic actions. Mainly, the performances have been considered for the project are related to the accuracy, the integrity, the certification, the update rate, the continuity and the availability.
Anyway only for part of them it has been possible to test their potentiality in terms of benefits they could provide to the in-vehicle application. Those performances are related to the ones available and obtainable by the EGNOS system. For instance since November 2003 the EGNOS test bed has switched to the west European IOR satellite notifying, as it is reported within the test results deliverable, an accuracy degradation.
Important inputs for the Gallant project have been provided by the Fourth Framework Program In-arte and Nextmap projects. The main focus of In-arte was to integrate the in-car navigation system with ADAS to demonstrate the benefits of the integration of such application with the GPS localisation system and digital road map. The project has provided all the requirements for the localisation system and for the digital maps towards which the research has to investigate in terms of technical and technological aspects. Nextmap has addressed the technical and economical feasibility of the enhanced digital road map for ADAS.
During the project requirements for the Galileo system have been readjusted thanks to the experience matured by some of the consortium partners with Galilei project have been involved for the specification of the Galileo road local element.
Within Gallant project an important further step has been represented by the improvement to the localisation module of the integrated ADAS function. Galileo will help and facilitate the process for the development and spin-off of the ADAS mainly because will provide the performances above reported.
Among the main results of the Gallant project are:
- Modular architecture for simulation of positioning performances in ADAS applications. The architecture of Gallant simulator allows to have a high modularity where the different features and capabilities of the simulator are manageable independently. This has allowed the simulation of predictive cruise control (PCC) but is able to envisage the simulation of other ADAS functions (with the proper modules development).
- Customisable scenarios for simulation purposes. Any generic scenario can be defined for simulation purposes. The inclusion of curves, obstacles and urban canyons is possible. The result is available as a software module and the source code is considered as confidential.
- Models of inertial sensors (odometer and gyroscope) performances. The simulator defines the models of the performances of an odometer and a gyroscope (that can be used together with satellite navigation for scenarios with reduced satellite visibility). The model has been defined in terms of sensors error. The result is available as a software module and the source code is considered a confidential.
- Integration of positioning performances of satellite navigation and inertial sensors. The implementation of a very simple Kalman filter allows the calculation of global positioning performances of a system that integrates the defined satellite navigation together with the defined inertial sensors. The result is available as a software module and the source code is considered as confidential.
- Simulation of PCC ADAS application. The integration of the PCC dll (delivered by CRF) with the rest of the simulation tool modules allows the simulation of PCC in different types of scenarios and considering different parameters.
- User-friendly graphical user interface (GUI). The simulation tool allows a very easy management thanks to its GUI, where the functionalities available in any windows-based tool are present. Incorporation of a toolbar to select the different simulation options to manage the functionalities of the simulator. Visualisation of results according to a colour scale. Incorporation of a PCC monitoring window to allow the monitoring of the main variables associated to PCC simulation.
- Models of the test track scenario (CRF safety center). CRF safety test centre has been modeled according to the format required by the simulator for the introduction of scenario information.
- Definition of simulation test cases. The combination the different parameters affecting the simulation has been defined. This takes into account both the scenario and the simulation parameters such as initial speed of the vehicle, PCC speed, parameters of the inertial sensors etc.
- PCC simulation results. The different simulation test cases have been run and the results of the simulations have been provided for further analysis of the PCC behaviour in each of the test cases.
- A versatile simulation tool allowing the simulation of PCC performances. It can be used as an analysis tool or even a validation tool (depending on the kind of applications where it is to be used). The result is available as a software product and the source code is considered as confidential.
Project objectives have been reached. In particular:
- a real pilot on Galileo has been realised for road transport sector starting from the general specification performed during the Galileo overall architecture definition (GALA) studies;
- EGNOS system has been integrated with the in-vehicle road transport application at simulation and prototype level; the integration represents a further step with respect the studies done by CRF and ESA shown during the ITS World Congress 2000;
- Galileo like system (EGNOS) and GPS have been compared and evaluated in terms of benefits obtained by an on-board ADAS application;
- large scale results dissemination has been performed by each partners of the In order to complete the project the following activities have been performed in the first three months of the 2004;
- complete and deliver the pending deliverable taking into account of the customer recommendations;
- prepare the project final report and the cost statement related to the second year project;
- continue in dissemination activities (e.g. dispatching Gallant brochure and video).
