European Rotors - Mission Management System’s Capabilities for Law Enforcemen...Leonardo
Leonardo attended at European Rotors the Police Aviation Conference illustrating its Mission Management System’s capabilities for Law Enforcement Operators
This document discusses ADS-B (Automatic Dependent Surveillance - Broadcast), a technology that will replace radar as the primary means for air traffic controllers to track aircraft. It operates using two modes: ADS-B Out broadcasts data from aircraft, while ADS-B In receives data in the aircraft. By 2020, all aircraft will be required to have ADS-B Out equipment installed. ADS-B uses GPS and broadcasts aircraft's location, speed, and other data to any aircraft or ground station equipped to receive it. This allows pilots and controllers to see the same information simultaneously.
The document discusses CAP 1122, which is a Civil Aviation Authority policy for approving instrument approach procedures (IAPs) to runways that do not meet instrument criteria or at aerodromes without approach control. A working group evaluated issues with approving IAPs where infrastructure or air traffic services were previously lacking. The goal is to recommend expanding IAP deployment at UK aerodromes safely while using existing policies. The availability of satellite navigation now allows IAPs at smaller aerodromes, but UK regulations currently only permit a small number; this policy aims to improve safety by a risk-based approach to satellite-based approaches.

The document discusses the regulatory perspective on adopting GNSS (global navigation satellite systems) in rail systems. It notes that rail needs to innovate to remain competitive and that GNSS can help decrease costs and increase efficiency by providing train positioning without the need for trackside infrastructure. However, it also discusses technical challenges for GNSS in rail like signal interference and obscured signals. The document emphasizes that innovation and interoperability are not contradictory in rail, and that a compatible evolution of onboard systems is needed while ensuring safety throughout the innovation process.
The document summarizes a project by Rail Cargo Group to outfit rail cargo wagons with GPS and Galileo devices by the end of 2020, calling the wagons "smart things." The first GPS device was mounted on March 15, 2019. An IoT platform will integrate location data to enable use cases like tracking cargo locations, optimizing maintenance schedules, and providing customers with more information. Improving positioning accuracy in challenging rail environments can help boost efficiency in rail logistics.
The document discusses digital mapping and tracking technologies for rail transport. It describes how detailed digital maps of railways can help enforce safety rules and how tracking assets digitally can alert authorities if anything exits unauthorized. It also discusses how movement and coupling optimization can minimize accident risks and costs through predictive maintenance and automated train driving. The technologies aim to remove human error from logistics operations and reduce rail incident risks.
The document discusses coordinating R&D efforts towards including European GNSS signals within ERTMS rail signalling to: 1) satisfy end users by providing an interoperable and stable solution; 2) reduce ERTMS capital and operational costs; and 3) improve flexibility and attractiveness of ERTMS. It also describes gathering user requirements to feed into Galileo and EGNOS evolutions and promoting the use of E-GNSS for non-safety applications like cargo tracking and predictive maintenance.
The document discusses antitrust guidelines for a meeting between rail industry competitors on the X2Rail-2 and other Shift2Rail projects. It notes that while some collaboration is legal and beneficial, agreements between competitors that restrict competition are prohibited. It provides guidance on avoiding inappropriate topics of discussion like prices, production levels, customer relationships, costs and other sensitive business information. Participants are advised to adhere strictly to the published agenda and not use meetings to reach agreements that impair independent business judgment or competition.
This document summarizes a system suitability study called STEMS that assessed the use of GNSS (global navigation satellite systems) for train positioning in the European Rail Traffic Management System (ERTMS). The study was led by NSL and aimed to: (1) review requirements for virtual balise detection using GNSS in ERTMS; (2) assess the suitability of current SBAS (satellite-based augmentation systems) for ERTMS with virtual balise detection; and (3) propose a methodology for a safety case for SBAS use in ERTMS virtual balise applications. The study found that SBAS can provide fault detection and improved accuracy for train positioning compared to GNSS alone.
The document describes the SIA project which aims to develop four new services to provide prognostic health information for railway assets. The services will integrate sensors on vehicles to monitor wheel-rail and pantograph-catenary interaction, a data hub for positioning and communications, degradation models, and a visualization platform. This will allow early detection of issues like wheel flats or broken rails to support maintenance planning by infrastructure managers and train operating companies.
The ERSAT project aims to develop and certify an ERTMS solution using GNSS technology for low-density rail lines in Italy. The goals are to reduce maintenance costs by 30% by replacing older signaling systems with ERTMS, and deploy ERTMS nationwide by 2035. ERSAT has developed and tested satellite-based ERTMS technologies and defined a 2017-2023 master plan to activate a first commercial line by 2020 using public augmentation services, upgrade an existing line, and standardize solutions through European cooperation. Certification guidelines have been established and experts are involved to certify the satellite-based ERTMS solution for commercial operations.
The STARS project aimed to characterize railway environments to allow full implementation of GNSS in safety critical rail applications. It developed a methodology for field measurements, conducted an unprecedented measurement campaign at diverse locations, and created tools to analyze environmental factors impacting GNSS performance. The project also investigated economic impacts, ERTMS requirements, and the potential for evolved EGNOS services to fully support safety critical rail applications. STARS provided conclusions and recommendations to support further GNSS development in rail.

CHINA’S GEO-ECONOMIC OUTREACH IN CENTRAL ASIAN COUNTRIES AND FUTURE PROSPECTjpsjournal1
The rivalry between prominent international actors for dominance over Central Asia's hydrocarbon
reserves and the ancient silk trade route, along with China's diplomatic endeavours in the area, has been
referred to as the "New Great Game." This research centres on the power struggle, considering
geopolitical, geostrategic, and geoeconomic variables. Topics including trade, political hegemony, oil
politics, and conventional and nontraditional security are all explored and explained by the researcher.
Using Mackinder's Heartland, Spykman Rimland, and Hegemonic Stability theories, examines China's role
in Central Asia. This study adheres to the empirical epistemological method and has taken care of
objectivity. This study analyze primary and secondary research documents critically to elaborate role of
china’s geo economic outreach in central Asian countries and its future prospect. China is thriving in trade,
pipeline politics, and winning states, according to this study, thanks to important instruments like the
Shanghai Cooperation Organisation and the Belt and Road Economic Initiative. According to this study,
China is seeing significant success in commerce, pipeline politics, and gaining influence on other
governments. This success may be attributed to the effective utilisation of key tools such as the Shanghai
Cooperation Organisation and the Belt and Road Economic Initiative.

Electric vehicle and photovoltaic advanced roles in enhancing the financial p...IJECEIAES
Climate change's impact on the planet forced the United Nations and governments to promote green energies and electric transportation. The deployments of photovoltaic (PV) and electric vehicle (EV) systems gained stronger momentum due to their numerous advantages over fossil fuel types. The advantages go beyond sustainability to reach financial support and stability. The work in this paper introduces the hybrid system between PV and EV to support industrial and commercial plants. This paper covers the theoretical framework of the proposed hybrid system including the required equation to complete the cost analysis when PV and EV are present. In addition, the proposed design diagram which sets the priorities and requirements of the system is presented. The proposed approach allows setup to advance their power stability, especially during power outages. The presented information supports researchers and plant owners to complete the necessary analysis while promoting the deployment of clean energy. The result of a case study that represents a dairy milk farmer supports the theoretical works and highlights its advanced benefits to existing plants. The short return on investment of the proposed approach supports the paper's novelty approach for the sustainable electrical system. In addition, the proposed system allows for an isolated power setup without the need for a transmission line which enhances the safety of the electrical network

Comparative analysis between traditional aquaponics and reconstructed aquapon...bijceesjournal
The aquaponic system of planting is a method that does not require soil usage. It is a method that only needs water, fish, lava rocks (a substitute for soil), and plants. Aquaponic systems are sustainable and environmentally friendly. Its use not only helps to plant in small spaces but also helps reduce artificial chemical use and minimizes excess water use, as aquaponics consumes 90% less water than soil-based gardening. The study applied a descriptive and experimental design to assess and compare conventional and reconstructed aquaponic methods for reproducing tomatoes. The researchers created an observation checklist to determine the significant factors of the study. The study aims to determine the significant difference between traditional aquaponics and reconstructed aquaponics systems propagating tomatoes in terms of height, weight, girth, and number of fruits. The reconstructed aquaponics system’s higher growth yield results in a much more nourished crop than the traditional aquaponics system. It is superior in its number of fruits, height, weight, and girth measurement. Moreover, the reconstructed aquaponics system is proven to eliminate all the hindrances present in the traditional aquaponics system, which are overcrowding of fish, algae growth, pest problems, contaminated water, and dead fish.

No need for ground infrastructure
Decision heights can be reduced to:
‒ NPA: 450ft
‒ LPV: 200ft (As of September
2015)
Procedures can be implemented for all
runways, both ends, at little or no extra
cost
Can be extended to other user, such as
for helicopters
Business case improved when upgrades
are combined with datalink and ADS-B
requirements
Example of Decision Height Minimum
LPV = Localiser Performance with Vertical guidance
