Introducing the SPATRA Project
Facing the challenges of congestion, environmental impacts, and the goals of the European Green Deal, the SPATRA project steps in to innovate road and rail transport. Led by a coalition including OHB Digital Services, University of Niš, Zentrix Lab OU, Nelt, and Twist Robotics Ukraine, SPATRA leverages satellite technology to transform transport systems.
Central to SPATRA is the use of EGNSS and Copernicus satellites to improve traffic management and monitor infrastructure. The project develops applications for logistics optimization and temperature monitoring to reduce carbon emissions and enhance the movement of goods and people.
SPATRA represents a commitment to international collaboration, pushing forward the capabilities of space-based transport solutions to ensure sustainability, safety, and reliability across Europe’s transport systems. In advancing towards the future, SPATRA aims to establish new benchmarks for transport management, merging innovative technology with strategic partnerships to tackle transport challenges with advanced, space-based solutions.
