Athens 5G mobility-efficient city workshop
2022-02-25 09:30 - 15:00
The Athens 5G mobility-efficient city workshop will take place on February 25, 2022, from 09.30 to 15.00 CEST.
The mobility-efficient city aims at presenting a set of use cases that improve the tourism and tourism-related experiences from various perspectives. The use cases described below depict how airport processes can be improved leveraging the offering of 5G both from the side of the visitors and of the airport management. To this end, (i) smart sensor- and AI-based parking management, (ii) personalised evacuation procedure, (iii) follow-me vehicles enhanced with high-quality video streaming capabilities use cases are foreseen. iv) On top of the above, 5G-TOURS presents efficient ways of entertaining/educating travellers – in this case, students going on an excursion – on a smart bus. The Athens-node use case take place on the way to the Athens International Airport and at the airport itself as well.
5G-TOURS will also leverage 5G technology to devise novel solutions for transportation-related applications, which rely on the capabilities of 5G so as to aggregate transportation-related information and communicate between different transportation agents:

Smart parking management: This is a solution that relies on the mMTC functionality provided by 5G. A large number of sensors installed at each individual parking position will help keep track of available and occupied spots in real time, facilitating the parking process within an airport as well as in any other controlled parking area. As a result, this will also add to the travelling efficiency of tourists through targeted parking spot suggestions.
Airport evacuation application: This application will monitor the location of the different users and provide them instructions for evacuation. It will rely on 5G capabilities so as to instantly notify travelers and identify the exact position of the crowds. Based on this, it will devise an evacuation plan and send individual messages to each user with personalised instructions.
Video-enhanced follow-me cars: Follow-me vehicles, which lead aircrafts to parking positions, monitor and oversee the activity at the Airport Airside area, and attend incidents, emergencies and critical events. In 5G-TOURS will develop a solution to equip mobile units of the airport with high definition cameras, sending multiple live feeds to the Airport Operations Centers (AOCs) and other stakeholders. This solution will leverage 5G to enable live streaming of high-resolution video feeds, thus allowing for instant situation awareness and more efficient guidance towards parking locations.
AR/VR-enhanced school bus: Students usually spend a lot of idle time on route, while being transferred to or from the school premises. Applications based on AR or VR that can easily attract students’ attention and help them focus on valuable informative sessions on the road which were not feasible before 5G. 5G-TOURS will demonstrate how 5G and these advanced technologies can work together towards turning students’ idle time on a bus to constructive experiences.

5GCroCo Lunchtime Webinar 11: Precise positioning for Connected and Automated Mobility Services
2022-04-04 12:00 - 13:00 | Online Event, WEBINAR
Lunchtime Webinar Nr.11
Welcome to the 11th in a planned series of 5GCroco Lunchtime Webinars. These webinars will address different aspects of the technical work of the 5GCroco project in detail with some time for questions and discussions on the work presented.
TITLE: 5GCroCo Lunchtime Webinar 11: Precise positioning for Connected and Automated Mobility Services

Overview: Enhanced precise positioning is a key feature to enable advanced CCAM services where lane accuracy is needed to provide an accurate situational awareness to the vehicles. Although a combination of Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS), Inertial Navigation Systems (INS) and vehicle sensors can satisfy most of the minimum requirements of different use cases, in some locations where satellites cannot be easily tracked, like urban or rugged areas, it could lead to inaccuracies of several meters and significant latencies.
5GCroCo has analyzed three positioning solutions to enhance vehicle’s location, 5G NR side-link, 3GPP GPS Real Time Kinematic (GNSS-RTK) and Ultra-WideBand (UWB); following the terminology described in TS 38.305, these three technologies illustrate RAT-dependent, hybrid and RAT-independent approaches, respectively. This webinar introduces the main characteristics, benefits and challenges of these three technologies in CCAM scenarios, as described on Deliverable D3.2 on “Intermediate E2E, MEC & Positioning Architecture”. Moreover, it presents experimental results of the 3GPP GNSS-RTK and UWB solutions, which have been demonstrated in 5GCroCo within the context of the Anticipated Cooperative Collision Avoidance (ACCA) Use Case trials conducted on a motorway (at the border between Luxembourg and Germany) and on a urban scenario (at the 22@ district in Barcelona). The evaluation of the obtained results shows that both technologies can provide centimeter-level accurate positioning.

8th Walk & Talk Webinar "Emerging DLT Standards - Connecting the networks"
2022-05-05 11:00 - 13:00
The StandICT .eu 2023 project organises the 8th Walk & Talk Webinar “Emerging DLT Standards – Connecting the networks”, on May 5th, from 11:00 to 13:00 CET
Scope of the event
Blockchains and DLTs are foundational architectures emerging in both technical interoperability and global enterprise contexts. The expectation that distributed ledger technology can deliver peer-to-peer, trust-based services in the low-trust environment of disintermediated global digital trade is ambitious. The added expectation that DLTs also meet oversight, regulation and compliance requirements relating to multiple trade territories, nation state and federated contexts is game-changing. This is the context in which technical standards are being written.
The global perspectives presented here, lend depth and insight into the success, opportunities and barriers to blockchain and DLT acceptance. We discuss where we are on the roadmap to global, ubiquitous adoption. Are DLTs fundamental to the world wide web of global trade? Does applied game theory work in cooperative multi-party enterprise? Or is the Metaverse the Tragedy of the Commons write large?

5G-SMART webinar on “Architecture Integration of 5G-enabled Industrial Networks with Edge Computing for Smart Manufacturing”
2022-05-05 15:00 - 16:30
The EU project 5G-SMART, led by Ericsson, is organizing a webinar on “Architecture Integration of 5G-enabled Industrial Networks with Edge Computing for Smart Manufacturing” with János Harmatos (Ericsson) and Markosz Maliosz (Budapest University of Technology and Economic) as presenter on 5th May, 2022 at 3 pm CEST with 75 minutes duration.

Registration to the event is required here.

Abstract:
Edge computing provides an ecosystem, which brings the execution environment and technology resources (e.g., compute, storage infrastructure) closer to the end points where the data is generated. Leveraging the 3GPP ultra-reliable low latency communication (URLLC) and different non-public network (NPN) options, Edge computing will be able to play an important role in the support of wide-range of time-critical Industry 4.0 use cases, which requires end-to-end robustness with ultra-low latency. The webinar present architectural and system aspects on how the different edge computing deployment options (e.g., on-premise private, 3rd party operator provided) can be integrated with 3GPP 5G-enabled NPNs and/or legacy wired Industrial Ethernet/TSN networks. One specific area, which is deeply discussed is the enhanced reliability, where interworking between the reliability toolset of the TSN and the edge computing domains is showcased. Beyond the architectural integration aspects, as an example realization of edge computing, the investigation on the capabilities of the Kubernetes container orchestration platform is presented together with the gap analysis for smart manufacturing requirements
