In the future, sensors, cameras, and other automatic devices will be a significant source of information for public safety and other professional users. Information from IoT will also become important for developing a full picture and thus providing better support – before and during incidents. Public safety organizations will have significantly more information on which to base decisions. This could help critical operations be more active, for example, moving from extinguishing fires to preventing fires in advance. The UC’s goal is to improve event identification and characterization, operation and disaster relief. To achieve this, the IMAGINE-B5 platform will leverage B5G features for reliable and efficient information collection (from UAVs and other sensors) and data processing to provide smooth real-time reporting, critical updates, and actionable
intelligence, as timing and reliability can be the difference between life-or-death disasters. Furthermore, the platform relies on the computing continuum to overcome the complex decision-making process throughout the cycle.

This use case is being tested and validated through OC#1 project: F-Extension.

Safety and protection are considered as major aspects that must be integrated into the port-logistic chain connected with daily activity of maritime ports and terminals. In this domain, surveillance and inspection activities are fundamental to minimize the risks that are intrinsic to the activities carried out at berthing areas, port accesses and terminal yards. In the last years, the use of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) in
surveillance and infrastructure inspection activities has grown rapidly, since UAV enable safer, faster and more accurate operation than traditional surveillance and inspection methods. Some potential applications of UAVs are maritime rescue support (e.g., man overboard situations), anchoring area inspection, oil spill detection, dangerous goods tracking, etc. This use case aims at enabling critical surveillance and inspection
with UAVs in maritime ports and terminals thanks to the use of 5G Rel.16 capabilities, which will allow to meet the stringent URLLC requirements related to real-time inspection and surveillance activities.
Additionally, optimal coverage will be achieved by exploiting a seamless combination of 5G private and public network services. These functionalities will be combined with traditional 5G Rel.15 broadband capabilities to transmit real-time video streams with high-definition resolutions from different inland and coastal locations.

The use of Unmanned Surface Vehicles (USVs) for surveillance, bathymetry, environmental monitoring and facilities inspection is
becoming more relevant in maritime ports. The automation of many of these tasks that currently are executed manually by on-site operators
make these tasks very tedious and resources consuming. This use case (UC) aims to demonstrate that the use of 5G commercial or private
networks in the Port areas of Valencia and Sagunto has many advantages to improve the port area security.

At present, the efficiency of command-and-control posts within Public Protection and Disaster Relief (PPDR) organisations and their operations is directly related to their scale, due to the intricate processes that necessitate interaction among numerous individuals from diverse expertise areas. Different units spread over a large disaster area needs to be able to be fast and efficient to establish a dispersed command and
control post to facilitate the operations in disaster area. The objective of this Use Case (UC) is to facilitate the segmentation and distribution of the traditional single command post model, to enhance the efficiency of the operations during disaster scenarios. Simultaneously, it also aims to mitigate any reduction in efficiency by incorporating Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR) technologies to ensure adequate
interaction between humans.

This use case is being tested and validated through OC#1 project: Neptune.

IMAGINE-B5G will provide an IoT platform for the management of all emergency cycles. Focused on Emergency Management, this platform manages risks for communities, the environment and infrastructure.
It is the core business of the Emergency Services, but every individual and organisation have a role to play.
In addition, this platform uses IoT sensors and telecommunications infrastructure to increase the ability to collect data and make informed decisions. This solution helps companies to be better prepared, respond more quickly, and to send vital information to those who need it.
