2015 SATURN Road Show

SATURN - SATellite applications for URbaN mobility -

Road Show 2015

SATURN project hits the road!

SATURN is a city wide demonstrator of innovative solutions for better mobility, less congestion, more safety and security on urban roads.

An innovative geo-information platform and four demonstrator solutions underpinned by European space-technologies are set to be showcased on the 16th September.

Designed and developed by a consortium of European partners (located in France, Poland and the UK) working in collaboration with the urban local authority and other stakeholders from Bordeaux, France.

These applications and services demonstrate the use of satellite technologies and earth observation data in support of the emergence of regional geo-information platforms and new services for the mobility of citizens.

The Roadshow is organised in collaboration with the Leicester and Leicestershire Freight Quality Partnership (FQP).

Venue: David Wilson Library - First Floor Library Seminar Room
