5G-VICTORI: eMBB under high speed mobility in Rail environmnents

The UC proposes a multi-technology infrastructure to provide connectivity to a train as it moves along a railway track around the city of Patras. Three to four points are chosen to guarantee the coverage required to ensure seamless connectivity.

The services are provided while the moving train crosses the Patras city centre through heterogeneous technologies, establishing high capacity low latency connections. High capacity is needed for the former services to provide a high quality of service to passengers, whereas for the latter low latency / ultra-reliable connections are needed to support the transmission of real-time data obtained from various sources to the train operations, driver and control centre.

The infrastructure provides three types of services: “Business services” (infotainment, digital mobility, travel information services); “Performance services”, including non-critical services related to train operation and infrastructure monitoring and maintenance services; and “Critical services”, where Mission-Critical Push-to-Talk (MCPTT) and Mission Critical Data (e.g. between the controller(s) at the train/ operations centre and the driver/onboard staff, etc.) are used as indicative applications of this type in the context of this UC.
