In this context, the set of services that will be demonstrated in 5G-VICTORI relate with the following services classes as summarised below:
UC #1.1 proposes a multi-technology infrastructure to provide connectivity to a train as it moves along a railway track. Three to four points along the tracks around the city of Patras were chosen to guarantee the coverage required to ensure seamless connectivity for the demonstrated services.
UC #1.2 focuses on real time media service delivery and prioritized communication to the Command and Control Centre (C&CC) in case of emergency situations triggered when detected by AI recognition and identification mechanisms. The required information is transmitted over 5G dedicated slices assuring real time management, E2E orchestration and QoS control.
One of the most demanding UCs for future mobile networks is the emerge of AR/VR technologies, which do not only require high throughput but also very strict latency performance. It is essential for a network to stay within such strict performance requirements, even when a handover is taking place. This UC challenges the capabilities of future 5G networks, being a representative deployment the 5G UK test network, which is being extended towards the implementation of this UC.
The Rail Critical Services at the 5G-VICTORI facility in Berlin comprise five representative type of services. To implement these services the biggest train station in Europe will be used, the Berlin Central station, which is a challenging operational environment to accommodate the 5G-VICToRI HW and SW 5G solutions to support the UC.
The main objective of this UC is to automate the monitoring process and improve inspection methods and maintenance procedures of energy utilities as Factories of the Future, both for cost/time reduction and quality improvement. The idea is to showcase how 5G technology can integrate and deliver services able to support these diverse applications simultaneously.
Content Delivery Networks (CDNs) enable a higher level of service reliability and can be designed to optimize the distribution of network loads and transmission costs.
The demonstration and performance evaluation of Media Services over various 5G network deployments tailored to the railway environment is in the focus of 5G-VICTORI in the context of two attractive and yet realistic scenarios of service provisioning not only statically at the train station but also in conditions of mobility while the train is on the move; a number of media service streams will be offered, potentially adding up to Gb data rates for 200-300 passengers boarding a train in real environment.
This UC focuses on future Energy services/applications related to real time gathering of energy consumption and load data (recovery of energy fed back during braking) in the Railway Management System (RMS) and Energy Management System (EMS) platforms.
Smart energy metering is one of 5G-VICTORI’s use cases, as extension of 5G-EVE (ICT 17) capabilities hosted in Alba Iulia Municipality (AIM). This energy metering use case pursues the provision of smart energy metering services for public buildings and street lighting in the Alba Iulia Smart City environment in Romania.
This project has been funded by the European Commission as part of the H2020 program, under the grant agreement 857201.
