Deliverable D5.1 5G-enabled solutions for safe cities
Description
In the 5G-TOURS vision, the Safe city use case family demonstrates the ability of 5G to provide services enabling a (possibly fragile) person to have a safe trip (e.g., for touristic purposes). A typical scenario is a person (under-age or adult), suffering from a chronic disease implying some risk of health complication. The goal is to provide travellers (but also citizens) with the warranty that, even in case of trouble, they will recover thanks to the proper management of an emergency situation. This deliverable provides description of all applicative aspects on the use cases (UCs) being developed in the Safe City use cases implementation Work Package (WP5) of the 5G-TOURS project. The document provides a description of the specific use cases addressed for the safe city of the project and the associated trials, which are based on the Rennes node of 5G-TOURS. The following use cases for safe cities will be covered in this document: • Use case 6 - Remote health monitoring and emergency situation notification. This use case addresses solutions for remote health monitoring of people, especially when already diagnosed with a critical disease; such a solution includes consultation with remote medical attendants, collaboration between remote and local medical personnel and leveraging advanced technology to detect medical conditions that require immediate attention. • Use case 7 - Teleguidance for diagnostics and intervention support. This use case aims to improve the quality of first intervention on site in emergency care; to this end, 5G technology is leveraged to provide teleguidance, enabling the on-the-spot, direct treatment of the patient under the guidance of a remote expert so as to prevent further, and potentially irreversible, deterioration of the condition of the patient. • Use case 8 - Wireless operating room. This use case provides a more flexible and effective operating room (OR) that leverages wireless communications based on 5G to provide the following enhanced medical equipment: i) converstion to and from DICOM-RTV, ii) Mosaic display, iii) AR application, iv) distribution application, and v) tele-mentoring application. • Use case 9 - Optimal ambulance routing. This use case shows how city sources can be exploited towards real-time vehicle navigation taking into consideration the live status of the city, especially a touristic one with lots of cultural events being organized – potentially in public locations and streets. For each of the above use cases, this document provides: (i) a use case description from the user perspective, (ii) the application components, i.e., the prototypes, elements that are needed to implement and validate the use cases, (iii) the network component/functions, involving the network elements that need to be supported by the underlying platform, (iv) the trial description, including the setup of the trial, persons and the equipment needed for the trial, (v) the timeline plan and evaluation methodology. This deliverable further presents an analysis of the requirements that need to be satisfied from the network side in order to enable the realisation of these use cases. This analysis shows that these use cases pose very stringent requirements on the underlying network which could not be possibly met with the legacy 4G technology and can only be satisfied with 5G. The work performed in this deliverable serves the following purposes: i) it describes all the use cases in detail, motivating their need and the benefits that it brings to the respective vertical players, ii) it identifies the different components that need to be developed by WP5 in order to implement these use cases, including the application and the network level components, iii) it provides a plan for the tasks that need to be performed and their timing, towards the implementation of all the required components, iv) it identifies the required network deployment, to be performed jointly with the 5G-EVE project, and the corresponding 5G architecture, being addressed by WP3, and v) it provides the basis for the testing and the validation of the use cases, which will be aligned with the evaluation methodology being designed by WP7
