New step in development of multi-system equipment will be made in two years
“New level of development and implementation multisystem user’s equipment will be visible in a few years, after deployment of orbital constellations European Galileo system and the Chinese BeiDou” has marked Alexey Muraviev, the representative of General Designer of user’s equipment during the Conference “Development of international cooperation and application of global navigation systems solutions for improvement of transport and cargo security” which was held in the framework of the International Forum “Security and safety technologies”.

“Today application of multisystem equipment is already a reality and is a future of satellite navigation, problems that appearing in its application may be solved quite successfully. Speaking particularly about implementation of navigation technologies in the safety, it is still applied classic pair GLONASS / GPS, but there is already exists equipment based on BeiDou and Galileo, which can be recommended for professional use. In 2-3 years we will see a new level of multisystem hardware development when deployment of European and Chinese GNSS will be in the final stage, "- he added.

Unmanned trucks of Russian production with satellite navigation will appear on the roads by 2027
The first version of unmanned truck “KAMAZ” with satellite navigation systems based on GLONASS may be manufactured by 2027, according to core publications. “The works are already underway. Partner companies of the manufacture would prescribe special algorithms for recognizing video sequence, create artificial intelligence and will complement trucks by navigation systems, sensors, radars and other elements. Approximate term of unmanned trucks appearance on the market is 2025 – 2027 years. For implementation of this project is required about 17-18 billion RUB,” – said in one of the articles.

Russian-manufactured unmanned trucks with satnav will appear by 2027
The first versions of unmanned trucks KAMAZ with GLONASS-based satellite navigation systems could be manufactured by 2027, according to specialized issues.
“The work is being run already. The companies – partners of the plant will design special algorithms of video sequence recognition, create artificial intelligence and equip the trucks with navigation systems, sensors, radars and other elements. Duration guideline of unmanned trucks appearance is 2025-2027. Implementation of this project will cost towards 17-18 billion rubles”, said in one of the articles. It is checked out that up-to-date navigation technologies and control system will help the car to ride by a definitive route without a driver. First of all the system could be demanded by force structures.

Visiting Navx: An Inside View Into Auto Content Curation
Not long ago GPS Business News had the opportunity to spend two days at Navx’s “Content Factory“ in Bucharest, Romania. Navx, headquartered in France, offers content to car makers and GPS navigation vendors.The briefings at their Content Factory was an interesting experience that offered an insight view into their core business: providing verified, quality content to the auto industry: fuel prices, parking data and electric vehicle charging in tens of countries. Navx mixes automated data processing with a sizeable amount of manual verifications, i.e. between 5,000 and 8,000 phone calls are made per month to verify the data accuracy.
Best apps for navigating indoors: satnav without satellites
How to find your way around airports, shopping malls and other large indoor spaces.We all use satnavs, but they don’t work indoors. We investigate some apps and new technology that could help us find our way in airports, shopping malls and any large buildings. It’s a first-world problem, but a problem nevertheless: How do you navigate an indoor space when GPS does not work?  While it may not yet be ideal, as with everything these days, there’s an app for that – or rather several apps. President of the Royal Institute of Navigation, Dr Roger MacKinley, explained why GPS does not work for indoor navigation:
China to Join Effort on Aircraft Satnav Standards
Europe’s EGNOS augmentation system sharpens the accuracy and reliability of GPS signals so they can safely be used for landing approaches across a growing number of European airports. But aviation is a global enterprise — so the aim is to develop a seamless network of augmentation systems in future. That is the task of an international group of experts, the Satellite Based Augmentation Systems (SBAS) Interoperability Working Group (IWG), whose 27th  meeting took place in Tampa, Florida, September 8-10, hosted by the Institute of Navigation.
