The planned European navigation system Galileo which will make metre-exactly detectable from 2011 positions on the earth should be utilised after the traffic use.

The centrum for satellite navigation Hessen (Cesah) has introduced in addition on Thursday in the Darmstadt Esa-satellite controlling centre the first promising uses. If a satellite-supported flood warning, an interactive guide belongs to it for documenta in Kassel as well as a software platform to the capture and to the exchange of geodata on mobile final devices. The uses some to itself to benefit that the Galileo system is more exact around a multiple than the American Worldwide Positioning currently usable system (GPS). Die Anwendungen manchen sich zu Nutze, dass das Galileo-System um ein Vielfaches genauer ist als das derzeit nutzbare amerikanische Global Positioning System (GPS).

Thus the Darmstadt company Eeta_max space to the prototypes of the so-called "g WaLe system" (Galileo Supported Measurement of Water has introduced level) which should warn in flood to threatened areas about rising water level recorders. The system disposes of a row of mobile, swimming Galileo receivers with whom divergences of the water level recorder can be grasped. As soon as the water level recorder becomes critical, the system alarms the responsible places and can warn even affected local residents directly. Sobald der Wasserpegel kritisch wird, alarmiert das System die zuständigen Stellen und kann sogar betroffene Anwohner direkt warnen.

The first feedbacks of Giove-A have symbolic character, Ralf Willenbrock, Project finds manager the IT service provider Gedas. „Now Galileo is finally more than only an idea“, according to Willenbrock which deals for four years with the technology. Especially: Now in January the European syndicate Galileo Industries of the European space agency Esa got finally green light for the financing of the first project phase at the rate of 1, 5 milliard euros. Zumal: Im Januar bekam das europäische Konsortium Galileo Industries von der europäischen Weltraumagentur Esa nun endgültig grünes Licht für die Finanzierung der ersten Projektphase in Höhe von 1, 5 Milliarden Euro.

Now should be worked busily on Galileo uses. However, this year the subject still takes place in relatively modest magnitudes on the Cebit. On a 60 square metre communal state seven companies and institutions present themselves to draw the attention to her Galileo competence – under it Gedas. The IT enterprise, till recently subsidiary of Volkswagen, is a component of a network from Lower Saxony which wants to bundle up the competence in the matter of Galileo uses in the triangle between Hannover, Brunswick and Wolfsburg. Thus security-critical uses should be certificated near of the research airport of Brunswick. Auf einem 60 Quadratmeter großen Gemeinschaftsstand präsentieren sich sieben Firmen und Institutionen, um auf ihre Galileo-Kompetenzen aufmerksam zu machen – darunter Gedas. Das IT-Unternehmen, bis vor kurzem Tochtergesellschaft von Volkswagen, ist Bestandteil eines niedersächsischen Netzwerkes, das im Dreieck zwischen Hannover, Braunschweig und Wolfsburg die Kompetenz in Sachen Galileo-Anwendungen bündeln will. So sollen nahe des Forschungsflughafens Braunschweig sicherheitskritische Anwendungen zertifiziert werden.
