Since GPS has reached full operational capability in 1993, the system has been taken up by public transport applications quite slowly compared to automotive navigation devices on the road. Even today GPS is used only at some installations for traveller information for tram/bus arrival time, but mostly not for demanding tasks that affect traffic light control. The current proposal on “GSP – Galileo Signal Priority” starts right here with the application of transit signal priority (TSP) for vehicles of public transportation (PT). The project focus has been put on TSP to overcome the last obstacle for a sustainable introduction of GNSS to support and improve all functions of PT. With this step the existing infrastructure based systems (which are less flexible and more cost intensive) shall be dispensable, to save cost on equipment and maintenance and explore the full potential of onboard intelligence, where GNSS has a leading role to enable the overall application. In this regard the main aim of this proposal is: • To develop a prototype for robust positioning exploring EGNOS, EDAS or Galileo as main sensor, in order to satisfying all the requirements in PT. • To develop new traffic light control schemes, which can explore the advantages of GNSS based systems in PT and overcome the deficiencies of costly infrastructure based systems. Both steps are essential elements for a successful market entry plan to bring robust positioning into demanding PT applications. While new performance levels in positioning are achievable through the use of EGNOS, EDAS and Galileo, the migration of this innovative technology into existing systems of PT has to be solved as well. A concept will be elaborated to enable a smooth transition from state of the art systems, towards new PT schemes on the basis of innovative products. The project objectives support the development of adequate GNSS based products, including necessary steps for their integration into modern ITCS.

Location based services on mobile devices and smartphones have experienced a very significant development in the last five years. However, although 90% of phone usage is done indoors, there is no suitable technology to provide accurate positioning of these devices inside building. The demand for indoor LBS applications and associated revenues is therefore huge, but the market still needs location technologies that fulfill three key success factors: scalability, compatibility, accuracy. A number of technologies have been envisaged (UWB, RFId…) but only two arise: WiFi and indoor GNSS. WiFi is scalable and compatible but suffers from poor accuracy and a need for recurrent calibrations, which prevents this technology from being the ultimate one. Indoor GNSS offers great advantages since it ensures high accuracy, relies on chipsets already deployed in phones, and does not need any calibration. The main goal of this project is to contribute to making GNSS and in particular Galileo based pseudolite systems the best overall solution to address the challenges of positioning and navigation within large indoor infrastructures. The project addresses the following main goals: - Develop and implement software algorithms that enhance GNSS efficiency in indoor environments. - Provide the porting of these algorithms on GNSS chipsets. - Develop a Galileo pseudolite prototype leveraging its signal specificities for indoor performance - Experiment and demonstrate the full end to end system (transmitters / embedded receiver with indoor improved algorithms) on a GPS and then on the Galileo pseudolite system. - Ensure that proper regulatory authorizations are available for experimentations and finalize the regulatory framework for widespread deployment. Beyond the scope of this project, the main expected impact is to gather support of the industry for Galileo pseudolite systems and to use the project results to give momentum to a Galileo based indoor work plan at EC level.

The major requirement on gamma-TiAl feedstock materials for subsequent forging operations (forging stocks) is a fine grained microstructure which decreases the flow stresses at elevated temperatures. Novel gamma-TiAl based TNM alloys have been developed from a consortium consisting of GfE, Böhler, MTU and University of Leoben in order to increase wrought processing capability by the addition of the bcc structured beta-Ti phase into the well known alpha2/gamma microstructure of Titanium Aluminides. As a side effect, the microstructure remains fine grained due to a different solidification path of the alloy which is characterized by a complete beta-solidification mechanism. It has been demonstrated that the as-cast TNM alloy can be subsequent wrought processed without primary ingot conversion via extrusion technology. Thus, the objective of the materials conversion technology is reduced to the generation of small size parts. There is a substantial interest in improved homogeneity, high reproducibility and low overall production costs including ingot manufacturing and ingot conversion. In the project, different materials production technologies such as VAR and PAM are being evaluated. The conversion of the resulting ingots to small size forging stocks will be performed via VAR skull melting and VIM skull melting, both followed by casting in permanent moulds, HIP and machining. The objective of the project is the development of a low cost casting process for gamma-TiAl based TNM alloys which guarantees to meet all technical specifications of the products.

The scope of this project is to perform an analytical study of the geometric properties of the interafaces arising in the scalar Ginzburg-Landau-Allen-Cahn equation, with particular attention to possible 1D symmetries. Also, we would like to analyze the cases in which the operator is singular, degenrate, subelliptic or fractional and to obtain results for PDEs in manifold and in inverse overdetermined problems, since all these models share some important features with classical semilinear PDEs and possess a wide range of potential applications. To achieve our goals, we would like to build a small, mobile and specialized team of young researchers with outstanding professional skills, specialized in the above subjects, which has a long history together, new upcoming projects and a network to spread out to.

Materials chemistry is generally focused on inorganic or organic systems, and their combination is an emerging area with many exploratory experimental studies. Self-assembling hybrid organic-inorganic networks offer immense potential for functionalising material properties for a wide scope of applications including solar cells, solid-state lighting, gas sensors and transparent conductors. The flexibility of combining two distinct material classes into a single system provides an almost infinite number of chemical and structural possibilities, but there is currently no systematic approach established for designing new compositions and configurations that match the criteria required for technological applications, e.g. high chemical stability and low electrical resistivity. Modern computational chemistry approaches enable the accurate prediction of the structural and electronic properties of materials at an atomistic scale. This project will apply state-of-the-art simulation techniques to: (i) Develop design principles for forming hybrid solids and tuning their physicochemical properties; (ii) Construct and characterise prototypal material systems tailored for technological applications. The project will develop fundamental design rules for hybrid systems: the effects of functional groups and network dimensionality will be assessed in relation to the pertinent material properties. The rules can then be applied to construct prototypes for optoelectronic applications, with the candidates being tested through an established experimental collaboration. These challenging goals will require a combination of bulk, surface and excited-state calculations, using both classical and electronic structure simulation techniques, which draw directly from my previous experiences, and will utilise the existing high-performance computing infrastructure in the UK. The principal outcome of the project will be to enhance our understanding of this new field of materials science.

High aspect ratio (quasi-1D) nanostructures have potential to revolutionise the way we use, make and study molecules. This ambitious project is designed to enable characterisation and manipulation of molecules at a single-molecule level, visualisation of mechanisms of chemical reactions in real space and time, and synthesis of molecules within nano-sized containers. Understanding interactions of molecules with nanostructures of different types (nanofibres, nanotubes) and different chemical composition (carbon, bron nitride, titanium dioxide) forms a fundamental core of this project, as the 1D nanomaterials will serve as structural and functional bridges between the molecular world and the macro world. This project opens up new broad horizon for molecular disciplines, such as organic chemistry, molecular physics and the science of nanomaterials. Molecules possessing optical (polyaromatic hydrocarbons, complexes of transition metals and lanthanides), magnetic (single-molecule magnets, free radicals) or redox (metallocenes, molecular wires, tetrathiafulvalene) properties wired to 1D nanostructures will be delivered for next generation of electronic devices, harnessing functional properties of individual molecules for a variety of applications ranging from ultrasensors to quantum information processors. This project will help to establish a precise control of geometries and orientations of extended molecular arrays urgently needed for nano-device applications. Understanding of how molecules interact with 1D nanostructures and how they react with each other when confined within nano-reactors will give a new powerful set of tools to control the direction, selectivity and kinetics of chemical reactions. Methodology of molecular confinement at the nanoscale developed in this project will offer new opportunities for preparative synthetic chemistry of the XXI century leading to high-value isomerically and enantiomerically pure products that cannot be synthesised otherwise.

On the basis of recent PI’s findings, this project aims to take advantage of the Cu(I)/Cu(III) redox pair chemistry to perform a wide range of copper catalyzed organic transformations under very mild conditions, i.e. aryl-heteroatom cross coupling, aryl-halide exchange, aryl fluorination, and direct C-H functionalization reactions. The development of new sustainable methodologies alternative to Pd-based ones will make a tremendous impact into routine organic synthesis procedures and into selective late-stage modification of pharmaceuticals. Pd is the metal of choice in most of aryl-heteroatom coupling reactions but toxicity and intrinsic cost are serious drawbacks for production of drugs. Cu has become a real alternative to Pd due to low cost, low toxicity and continuously increasing efficiencies of Cu-catalyzed coupling reactions. However, the mechanistic details for Cu-based processes are still poorly understood and experimental conditions are far from sustainable. Fundamental Cu(I)/Cu(III) oxidative addition and reductive elimination steps are often invoked but remained unobserved until the recent well-defined aryl-Cu(III)-halide key species reported by the PI. An initial goal consists in the in-depth mechanistic comprehension of Cu(I)/Cu(III) redox steps in a series of electronically and structurally tuned aryl-halide model systems. A subsequent goal will be the exploration of tridentate pincer-like systems in aryl-heteroatom coupling reactions with simple aryl-halides, aiming to find milder and efficient catalysts by redirecting mechanistic pathways towards the stabilization of aryl-Cu(III) species. Exploitation of Cu(I)/Cu(III) redox chemistry in direct C-H functionalization will also be undertaken. Exploration of analogous M(I)/M(III) redox chemistry with Au and Ag will be performed in order to gain a complete mechanistic picture of these reactions mediated by coinage metals, building on the necessary knowledge to design future generations of catalysts.

For truck applications the increasing demand for electrical power when the vehicle stands still has lead to an increasing need for an on-board electric power generator which operates with high efficiency and very low emissions. A fuel cell based auxiliary power unit (APU), with a diesel fuel processor is regarded as one of the most interesting options since it combines high efficiency, low emissions and the use of the same fuel as the main engine. The overall objectives of FCGEN wer to develop and demonstrate a proof-of-concept complete fuel cell auxiliary power unit in a real application, onboard a truck. However, the vehicle demonstration objective was changed to laboratory demonstration as the project partner, CRF, who was responsible for the vehicle demonstration work package and providing the demonstration truck has left the project after 24 months and it was not possible for the FCGEN consortium to find a suitable replacement for CRF. The APU system consisting of a low-temperature PEM fuel cell, a diesel fuel processor and necessary balance of plant components will be designed to meet automotive requirements regarding e.g. size, mechanical tolerances, durability etc. High targets are set for energy efficiency and therefore this will significantly lead to emissions reductions and greener transport solutions in line with EU targets. A key point in the project is the development of a fuel processing system that can handle logistic fuels. A fuel processor consisting of autothermal reformer, desulphurization unit, water-gas-shift reactor, reactor for the preferential oxidation of CO, will be developed. The fuel processor will be developed for and tested on standard available low sulphur diesel fuel both for the European and US fuel qualities. Another key point is the development of an efficient and reliable control system for the APU, systems, including both hardware and software modules. In the final demonstration, the fuel cell based APU will be tested in laboratory environment as the first step in a defined plan towards Vehicle demonstration.

We want to use selective laser melting to pattern a substrate with different solid micro particles at a density of 1 million spots per cm2. First, a homogeneous particle layer is deposited on a substrate and a pattern of micro spots of melted matrix is generated by laser radiation. Then, non-melted particles are blown away. Embedded within the particles are different chemically reactive amino acid derivatives that will start coupling to very small synthesis sites upon melting the particle pattern in an oven. This is done once all of the 20 different amino acid particles have been glued by laser patterning to the surface. Washing away uncoupled material, removing Fmoc protecting group, and repeating the patterning steps according to standard Merrifield synthesis, leads to the combinatorial synthesis of very high-density peptide arrays. The main objective of this proposal is to develop this method up to the level of a semi-automated synthesis machine. In addition, we will use the manufactured very high-density peptide arrays to readout the information that is deposited in the immune system, i.e. find a peptide binder for every one of the 200-500 antibody species that patrol the serum of an individual in elevated levels. These experiments might lead to novel tools to find out the causes of hitherto enigmatic diseases because then we might be able to correlate antibody patterns with disease status without knowing in advance the disease-specific antibodies. Beyond the life sciences, we want to embed 10.000 peptides per cm2 within an insulating layer of alkane thiols, each on a different gold pad of a specially designed screening chip. Then, we could readout I/V characteristics of individual peptide species, and eventually find peptide-based diodes. These could be modified in their sequence and screened again for better performance. This evolution-inspired screening approach might lead to novel materials that could be used in fuel cells.
