Experience the power of Galileo & enjoy a ride to the EU Space Days
As part of EU Space Days 2026, participants will have the opportunity to learn more about PAVE-SCAN and benefit from complimentary transportation to and from the venue.
PAVE-SCAN is a Galileo-enabled EGNSS low-cost sensing system combined with AI technologies (machine learning and machine vision) for detecting, classifying, and georeferencing road pavement anomalies through participatory sensing. The system supports continuous infrastructure monitoring and contributes to improved road safety.
Due to limited bus capacity and safety considerations, only registered passengers will be permitted to board, on a first-come, first-served basis. To ensure fair access for all participants, we kindly ask those attending on the first day not to register again for the second day. Please register here:
Cyprus Public Transport assumes no responsibility for delays or for passengers who miss the bus. PAVE-SCAN is funded by the European Union under the Horizon Europe / EUSPA programme (GA No. 101131910).
