💎 The Vision: Transforming Outdoor Exploration

The modern adventurer faces a dilemma: how to embrace the wild without leaving a trace? Current tools fail them. They lack real-time insight into critical environmental risks like landslides or fire danger, and they have no objective way to measure their true ecological footprint. This leads to preventable accidents and "high-trace" travel.

EcoRover is the definitive answer. We introduce a predictive, triple-layer travel planner, leveraging the unparalleled accuracy of the European Union's Space Programme to transform uncertainty into assurance.

✨ The Triple-Score Analysis: Objective Validation for Every Path

For any route you plan, EcoRover generates three scientifically validated scores, turning abstract data into actionable choices:

• 🛡️ Safety Score (Assurance):

  • Description: Predicts risk based on live environmental conditions.

  • Focus: Processing Copernicus Sentinel data to assess Landslide Potential, Flood Risk, and Fire Danger.

  • Value: Ensures you start your journey with confidence.

• 🌱 Sustainability Score (Ethics):

  • Description: Calculates and suggests routes to minimize carbon and ecological impact, guiding you toward "Zero Trace" travel.

  • Focus: Utilizing Copernicus Land Use/Land Cover (LULC) data to identify the lowest-impact route.

  • Value: Empowers you to align your journey with your ethical values.

• ♿ Accessibility Score (Inclusion):

  • Description: Objectively validates path usability for all needs, ensuring universal design.

  • Focus: Leveraging the centimetre-level precision of Galileo to check maximum slope and path width against requirements.

  • Value: Drives universal inclusion for the magnificent outdoors.

🛰️ Power from Space: Our Technological Foundation

EcoRover’s reliability is built upon the precision and integrity of EU Space assets:

1. Copernicus 🌍

• Data Used: Land Use/Land Cover (LULC), Soil Moisture, and Land Surface Temperature (LST) via Sentinel satellites.

• Value to You: This lets us predict Fire Risk (LST + low Soil Moisture) and identify ecologically sensitive zones for sustainable route generation.

2. Galileo 🛰️

• Data Used: High-Accuracy Positioning Service (HAPS) and multi-frequency signals.

• Value to You: This guarantees centimetre-level accuracy for validating accessibility requirements (slope, width) and ensures immediate, trusted location for emergency (SAR) response.

3. EGNOS 📡

• Data Used: Signal Correction Service for enhanced signal integrity.

• Value to You: Provides integrity and reliability checks, ensuring that even in remote, challenging terrain, our critical Safety Score alerts are trustworthy.

🌟 Enhancing Consumer Experience: Safety and Ethics First

EcoRover directly solves the challenge of "EU Space for Sustainable & Responsible Consumer Experiences."

We elevate the planning process beyond simple navigation:

• From Guesswork to Guarantee: You are no longer reliant on static, outdated maps. EcoRover provides a scientifically validated Safety Score, transforming planning anxiety into data-driven security.

• Empowering Ethical Choices: By quantifying the environmental cost of a route, we equip you to choose the path that aligns with your values, making a positive difference with every step toward a "Zero Trace" journey.

• True Universal Access: We use the unmatched precision of Galileo to break down barriers, ensuring that our Accessibility rating makes the magnificent outdoors truly available and safe for everyone.

EcoRover is the future of exploration—secure, sustainable, and inclusive.
