X-MOTION

Project summary

The objective of xMOTION is to enhance citizen safety & security by demonstration of the interoperability of diverse wireless technologies (2.5-3G) and their mutual support for a better response in emergency scenarios. Three trial set-ups will be used for testing: Teleambulance, Emergency Management, and Transport Surveillance. Although the scenarios are thematically different, they are similar in structure and in their technical requirements. They need e.g. interoperability between networks, high bandwidth during peak phases, location accuracy, and short response times. In all scenarios, empirical data will be gathered on the performance and real-world adequacy of the wireless technologies to be established in the near future. The data from the three scenarios will contribute to an integrated view on the suitability of mobile technology in safety and security related areas. Within the trials Location Based Services and Mobile Middleware will be used. The adoption of this innovative service in the trial applications of Teleambulance, Emergency Management and Transport

Surveillance shows the usability and benefit to the end-users involved in xMotion. The scenarios in Teleambulance, Emergency Management and Transport Surveillance will be set up in an experimental 3G environment to make a contribution of the awareness for the need of this communication technology.
