Project Title
Development of 5G systems for the protection of life and public health in Riga - 5G4Lives
ID No. 101133716
Description
In an era of as technology advances at an unprecedented pace, the project takes center stage as an initiative committed to harnessing innovation for the greater good. This project reveals its transformative vision in two different geographical sets – Latvia and Italy. It strategically combines 5G connectivity with cutting-edge technologies such as enabled monitoring of drones (UAVs or drones) and of alternative hydrogen charging overturns. With the dual task of improving public safety and environmental health, the project is exploring data-driven forecasting and understanding of the real-time aerial situation as the backbone of a safer, more efficient, and sustainable future.
The main objective of the Project is to ensure optimal emergency management and data-driven forecasting covering the safety of the public. With 5G connectivity and UAV dynamic fusion, the goal is to provide real-time air situational awareness and automatic vulnerability assessment in the risk areas. The scope of the project goes beyond traditional bailouts, strengthening innovations to protect both human lives and the environment.
Project in Latvia is related to the use of drones and 5G technology in monitoring and rescue work, especially at Vecāķu Beach and Ķīšezers lake, in different seasons. The project also includes studies in Riga on safety protocols and procedures for the operation of drones in urban airspace for and flight methodology beyond vision limits (BVLOS) covering the whole EU. With the use of 5G and drones, the project promises faster and more effective emergency response, addressing staffing shortages in law enforcement and expanding their competences. In Turin, the focus is on developing a 5G-enabled service to identify the situation and assess vulnerabilities to combat the threat of natural disasters. This includes testing anti-drone hacking technology, integrating satellite data and improving the pilot-drone team to improve emergency response s.. In Italy, the project will mitigate the threat of natural disasters and test innovative anti-drone hacking technologies, which will result in rescue teams receiving operational information and providing an effective reactionary in emergencies. . In addition, the development of safety protocols and procedures for urban drone flights and validation of THE BVLOS flight methodology will set new standards for public safety and security.
The project underlines Community engagement and knowledge sharing, ensuring that the benefits of these technological advances go beyond immediate emergency management to promote a more resilient and informed society.
