GNSS-based Collaborative Positioning for Networked receivers

• Conseguimento del 3° posto nella ESA/JRC Summer School on GNSS per il progetto studentesco S.H.I.E.L.D. (Safety Hub In Event Location Data) sull'utilizzo delle tecnologie di navigazione GNSS e di rete cellulare per il crowd monitoring & management per grandi eventi. (2018)
• Regional Prize at the European Competition "Galileo Masters". The Galileo Masters, is a European initiative promoting the innovation and technology transfer in the field of Satellite Navigation. it promotes satellite navigation with a focus on the Galileo system and all the advanced applications based on its technology, such as services, products, and business innovations that use satellite navigation in everyday life. The competition has a worldwide outlook with a strong focus on Europe. Several prizes are promoted by European Regions and institutions. In 2019 prizes were awarded by some of the most relevant satellite navigation stakeholders in Europe, such as the European GNSS Agency (GSA), the European Space Agency (ESA), the German Aerospace Center (DLR), the Italian Space Agency (ASI) and by more than 20 European Regions. The Italy Challenge is managed by the Italian Space Agency and co-financed by the European Commission’s DG Grow. The team has been officially awarded on 4 December, at the Space Oscars – Awards Ceremony of the Galileo Masters and Copernicus Masters held in Helsinki, Finland in the framework of the EU Space Week 2019, an event that gathered together all the major satellite navigation and earth observation stakeholders In Europe. The idea and the proof-of-concept of CAPS.loc demonstrated how exchanging among connected users the measurements of the distance of the user from each satellite of the GNSS constellation and combining them in a proper way, it is possible to improve the accuracy, precision and robustness of the estimated position.

• Conseguimento del "Francesco Carassa Award 2018", assegnato a Bari nel corso della Riunione Annuale del GTTI (Gruppo nazionale Telecomunicazioni e Tecnologie dell’Informazione) che si è svolta dal 25 al 27 di giugno. La ricerca premiata concerne i sistemi di posizionamento cooperativo basati sull'ibridizzazione delle tecnologie di navigazione satellitare GNSS e di misure cooperative ottenute attraverso le reti a bassa latenza 5G. Il prestigioso premio, che porta il nome del Prof. Francesco Carassa, tra i primi ingegneri italiani ad occuparsi di ponti radio, viene annualmente assegnato agli studenti di dottorato che si sono particolarmente distinti nelle attività di ricerca nell’ambito delle telecomunicazioni.
