User:Ferec2025/GAMMS (Galileo/GNSS-based Autonomous Mobile Mapping System)
GAMMS (Galileo/GNSS-based Autonomous Mobile Mapping System) is a European research and innovation project funded by the Horizon 2020 programme. The project aims to develop an autonomous mobile mapping system (AMMS) for terrestrial use by integrating satellite-based positioning technologies, artificial intelligence (AI), and autonomous vehicle platforms. GAMMS is coordinated by an international consortium and supported by the European Union Agency for the Space Programme (EUSPA).
Objetives
[edit]The main goal of GAMMS is to create a prototype of an autonomous terrestrial mobile mapping system with a Technology Readiness Level (TRL) of 6 to 7. The system combines centimeter-level accurate positioning based on Galileo GNSS, advanced real-time geolocation, and automated map generation using AI techniques.
Technical approach
[edit]The GAMMS system is composed of two main elements:
- A terrestrial mobile mapping robot based on an existing Level 4 automation vehicle platform.
- An AI-powered software engine capable of processing geospatial data and generating high-definition (HD) maps from multiple sensor inputs.
This integration enables automated data acquisition and near real-time HD map production with minimal human intervention.
Applications
[edit]GAMMS is designed to support several practical use cases, including:
- Urban infrastructure and road condition monitoring.
- Navigation assistance for autonomous vehicles.
- Environmental mapping and spatial analysis.
- Support for smart city development and digital twins.
Consortium
[edit]The project is carried out by a consortium of eight organizations from five European countries:
- GEOSAT (Portugal): Project coordinator responsible for the mobile mapping system and AI-based map generation tools.
- GeoNumerics (Spain): Technical coordinator with expertise in trajectory estimation and multisensor navigation.
- DEIMOS Engenharia (Portugal): Provides GNSS receiver technology with spoofing mitigation via Navigation Message Authentication (NMA).
- ENIDE Solutions (Spain): Responsible for business modeling and market strategy.
- EPFL – École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (Switzerland): Contributes expertise in vehicle dynamics modeling.
- Pildo Labs (Spain): Specializes in risk assessment for autonomous mission planning.
- Virtual Vehicle Research GmbH (Austria): Focuses on simulation and virtual validation in transportation systems.
- Solid Potato (Netherlands): Offers knowledge in multispectral LiDAR technologies.
Collaborations
[edit]GAMMS seeks synergies with other European initiatives to share knowledge and align with ethical, regulatory, and technical standards. Collaborating projects include:
- ALICE – A European Technology Platform on logistics innovation.
- ARCADE – A support action for connected and automated driving in Europe.
- Other projects within the EUSPA portfolio.
Funding
[edit]GAMMS is funded by the European Union under the Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme through grant agreement No. 101004255. The total EU contribution exceeds €1.9 million.
