Multi-frequency satellite receivers using various satellite systems, mainly Galileo in addition to GPS, will help to refine the position of Prague trams. Thanks to this, their accuracy even in the dense development of the centre of Prague is very high, showing deviations of no more than 2 metres. They should be installed in all trams in regular service by the end of next year. The project with the Transport Company of the Capital City of Prague (DPP) is being worked on.
