SafeTRIP

The SafeTRIP project’s general objective is to improve the use of road transport infrastructures and to optimize the alert chain (information / prevention / intervention) in case of incidents, by offering an integrated system, from data collection to service provision. In this way, SafeTRIP directly contributes to the achievement of the EC objectives regarding road transport safety enhancement, road mortality reduction and environment protection.

SAMURAI

SAMURAI (Sensor Array Processing for Multipath and Radio Interference Identification and Suppression). For safety-critical applications based on global satellite navigation systems (GNSS) not only a highly accurate, but also a highly reliable time-delay estimation of the received signal needs to be ensured. Therefore, it is extremely important to develop and explore powerful innovative methods for highly accurate synchronization of navigation receivers, even under difficult reception conditions.

SANDRA - Seamless Aeronautical Networking through integration of Data links Radios and Antennas

The overall air transportation sector is currently under significant stress. With the demand in aircraft operations expected at least to double by the 2025 timeframe, there are well-founded concerns that current air transportation systems will not be able to accommodate this growth. Existing systems are unable to process and provide flight information in real time, and current processes and procedures do not provide the flexibility needed to meet the growing demand.

SatNEx

SatNEx is a Network of Experts for satellite communications, coordinated by DLR KN. The first two phases of SatNEx have been funded by the EU from 2004 to 2009. Now ESA is interested in continuing the funding (SatNEx III). DLR KN will further coordinate the network and act as contractor to ESA. A core team consisting of DLR, University Surrey, and University Bologna will coordinate the research activities. Specific research tasks will be contracted to suitable network partners in the frame of annual “Call-off Orders”. The network comprises 17 partners in total.

sISI

sISI is a support action (SA) intended to stimulate the participation in future Community ICT research of a large number of actors through facilitating their involvement into the Integral Satcom Initiative (ISI), the Technology Platform for Satellite Communications within FP7. To this purpose, sISI will provide all necessary support to ISI to make it an efficient platform, able to provide plenty of opportunities for all of its participants.

SOCIETIES - Self Orchestrating CommunIty ambiEnT IntelligEnce Spaces

Die Vision von SOCIETIES ist es, ausgehend von isolierten persönlichen Smart Spaces (z. B. intelligente Häuser, oder alle vernetzten persönlichen Computer) integriere "Community Smart Spaces" (CSSs) zu entwickeln. Diese sind eine Weiterentwicklung von Pervasive-Computing Systemen und erlauben es, die Dynamik von Gruppen von Menschen abzubilden. CSSs stellen somit eine Brücke von Pervasive-Computing Systemen zum Social-Computing her und ermöglichen so neue Arten von gemeinsamem Arbeiten und Kommunizieren.

	TOPGAL Total Performance System for GBAS based Automatic Landings. TOPGAL is an internal DLR project which investigates GBAS based navigation in conjunction with flight management and autopilot systems. A socalled Ground Based Augmentation System enables aircraft to use satellite navigation for guidance on a precision approach.

TRANSMIT

Training Research and Applications Network to Support the Mitigation of Ionospheric Threats. The establishment of an Ionospheric Perturbation Detection and Monitoring (IPDM, http://ipdm.nottingham.ac.uk/) network was proposed and recognised by major European experts as the way forward to deliver the state of the art to protect the range of essential systems vulnerable to ionospheric threats.

VABENE

Ereignisse, seien es Großveranstaltungen, Großschadenslagen oder Katastrophensituationen, gefährden die Funktionsfähigkeit des Verkehrssystems. Gleichzeitig kommt dem Verkehrssystem während und nach diesen Ereignissen eine wesentliche Rolle zu: Einsatzkräfte nutzen die Verkehrsinfrastruktur, um Transport und Einsatzlogistik zu gewährleisten. Ebenso gilt es, die Mobilität der Bevölkerung so weit wie möglich aufrecht zu erhalten.
