Saxony-Anhalt Galileo Test Bed
Laboratory for the Development of Positioning, Navigation and Communication Systems for Transportation and Logistics
Researchers from the Fraunhofer IFF, Otto von Guericke University Magdeburg and the Institut für Automation und Kommunikation ifak are collaborating at the Galileo Test Bed on the development of integrated applications for the transportation and logistics sectors and public transportation, telematics and radio communication. The Fraunhofer-IFF is focusing its research on telematics and logistics.
Telematics and Logistics
At the Galileo Test Bed, researchers from the Fraunhofer IFF are working on application that identify and track objects under widely varying ambient conditions. They are pursuing equally widely varying technical approaches to positioning and identification, from high-precision radio positioning on the harbor premises to combined video positioning and identification of load carriers and equipment indoors.
About the Saxony-Anhalt Galileo Test Bed
