	LSGI Scholar Shares Relevance of Global Navigation Satellite Systems to Our Lives In the last few decades, Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSSs) have made tremendous impacts on technological innovations. GNSSs have become a global Positioning, Navigation and Timing (PNT) infrastructure to support diversified economic activities, such as transportation, construction, mobile communication, power grids, space explorations, and scientific research.

Research Achievements / ACTIVITIES

National Observation and Research Station of Ministry of Transport of PRC Jointly Established with CEE Research Team

The Ministry of Transport (MOT) of the People’s Republic of China recently gave its approval for the establishment of a collaborative research platform known as the National Observation and Research Station of Transport Industry for the Structural Safety of Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge (HZMB) in Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area.

Smart City Tree Management System Adopted by HK Government

In the 2020 Policy Address of the Chief Executive of the Hong Kong Government, it was announced that the Development Bureau would commence a three-year study to collect and analyse data from tilt sensors to test their effectiveness in identifying trees at risk of collapse.

Lunar Sample-Return Mission Accomplished

China’s first lunar mission to collect samples from the moon has returned to Earth. The sampling process was generally smooth, except the surface sampling and packing system had once dug too deep and collected more samples than expected, but the research team at PolyU had prepared for such situations and successfully removed the excess soil to complete the task.

Users Wanted to Test App for Tracking Covid-19

A group of researchers from the Department of Land Surveying and Geo-Informatics (LSGI) has developed a mobile application known as “Safety Guarder” for app users to learn if they have visited a venue where a COVID-19 confirmed case was discovered in the past 14 days.
