Session Title: European Satellite Navigation empowering next ITS generation
Session description: This session will present results of projects from finished Galileo R&D projects funded by the 7th Framework Programme which are providing Galileo/EGNOS benefits to the ITS and road transportation domains. Moreover, still running R&D projects will also present ideas, innovations or problems detected aiming to network with other experts and colleagues. The session will be very dynamic, with 3 different groups of small presentations followed by an open discussion with the audience.

Today we received message of the European Commission to meet for negotiations in the FP7 Programme. FP7 is the short name for the Seventh Framework Programme for Research and Technological Development. This is the EU's main instrument for funding research in Europe and it will run from 2007-2013. FP7 is also designed to respond to Europe's employment needs, competitiveness and quality of life.

The overall about of the negotiation process is to agree on the scientific-technical details of the project and to collect financial and legal information needed for preparing a Grant Agreement as well as for the project management and reporting on the project execution.

Our partners in the consortium are:
NavCert, Germany who will lead the certification process
Nottingham Science Ltd, UK who will offer their Matchbox Road matching technology & EGNOS experience
DKE, LUX who will offer business development & project management &
doss BV who will be product strategical lead and project coordinator.

Today the Living Lab reality check kicked off in Oberpfaffenhofen, Germany. The trial contract has been granted to GAIA Spain who will test our innovation with 60-100 vehicles in their Mobility Lab in San Sebastian, Gipuzkoa (in the Basque Country, North of Spain).

The two objectives of the trial are:
1. calibration & validation of our emission calculations
2. demonstrate that the innovation has a positive effect on a drivers behavior

During the State of Social Media Summit a drastic reduction of a vehicles emission have been proven to be possible. Our competition showed that a same car, driven over the same city track, packed in a competitive "good driver - bad driver" game, can make a 65% difference in emissions.

From the 18 drivers, sourced from the public, the winner steered the Volkswagen Polo toward a perfect 166gCO2/km | D label, while the least efficient driver scored a meager 274gCO2/km | G label. An absolute difference of 108gCO2/km or 65%.

OpenCarData will be presenting at the State of Social Media Summit. The Summit explores the state of social innovation on the Internet on 28-29 October 2010 in Trouw Amsterdam (Wibautstraat 127, Amsterdam), organized and hosted by the ever excellent Digital Pioniers.

While you're there don't miss the opportunity to test your personal EmissionProfile on the OCD Test Circuit and compete with all the other Stig's out there.
