1 SIXTH FRAMEWORK PROGRAMME - PRIORITY FP IST-1/ IST Mobile and wireless systems beyond 3G Future European Information and Communication System for Public Safety: Answering to the users needs. Project WIDENS 14th IST Mobile & Wireless Communications Summit: WIDENS The Future of Public Safety Wireless Communications June 2005, Dresden Delia Berrouard / HUT

2 Outline Overview How user studies fit in Why conduct them WIDEN user studies Methods Results Conclusions Missing Links User Studies today 2

3 Wireless Deployable Network System, WIDENS WIDENS Purpose: design, prototype and validate a vertically integrated rapidly deployable and scalable communication system for future public safety emergency and disaster applications 3

4 Strategy: High Level System Studies 4 User Studies Ref. scenarios large small/medium Reference scenarios models/ user group Large size scenarios models Performance studies System performance studies, impact of -Toplogy control -Reliability - Relaying nodes 1st year 2nd year

5 Why conduct user studies? Help to identify the demand for BroadBand applications Allow to match operational requirements with the system architecture, network management and protocols Crucial for the success of developing new technology Essential to know what users require Avoid developing non-useable technology Involving users in early stage gives a more realistic view of their needs and every-day work 5

6 WIDENS user studies Questionnaire available on the WIDENS web page ( Easy access, reach many Discussions Based on the questionnaire Face to face increases motivation, contribution In-depth and detailed information Possibility to discuss information, recheck input Number of participants limited Dynamic Scenario modeling Rural, suburban, urban, indoor Hierarchy strong feature (future work) 6

7 Fire fighter Scenario modeling example Topology/Mobility/Applications L Traffic pattern L

8 Fire fighter Scenario modeling example Topology/Traffic flow 8

9 Communication pattern for Fire fighters Applications/Information flow/operational scenario- hierarchy Paramedics R: Voice, medical data of victim T: Voice, medical data R and T: Voice, live video or IR, sensor information, database information FO Rescue center R: Voice, sensor information, image T: Voice, access to environmental database, available resources, weather and radiation reports FF SO R: Voice, live video or IR, sensor information T: Voice, live color video or IR, building structure sensor information FF R: Voice, building structure T: Voice, live color video or IR, sensor information 9

10 Results for user groups User group Data Sensors Video Comments Fire fighters Maps Building plans Available resources Biometrical Oxygen level Temperature Live colour video IR (Inside and outside building) Prioritization Encryption Recording of communication Police Maps Criminal records Finger prints Medical data Traffic information Biometrical Movement detection Live video Prioritization Encryption Recording of communication Real time use of recorded material Telemedicine Maps Coordination information Patient information Video conferencing Encryption Property surveillance Maps Security key information Biometrical Movement Seismic Acoustic Video monitoring Encryption Possibility for data exchange with authorities 10 Peace keeping Maps Location information Identification information Biometrical Live video Encryption

11 Conclusions Strong need for a communication system supporting video image transmission Interoperability with existing/other communication systems crucial Cost effective solutions Sensor information for the safety of the personnel Large file transmission facilitating key information Preferably enabling the use of old devices by up-dating them 11

12 Diversity in participants Missing links EU representation various users e.g. police, telemedicine example: Pisa Relief Quantity Improve results with higher participation Details e.g. scenarios, hierarchy, complex networks Results timing challenge 12

13 Methods and timeline Present September 2005 (13 weeks) Preparation Modify questionnaire Extensive contact list 2-part discussions, phone interviews Contact participants, introduction, interest Distribute questionnaire ( ) Second level discussions, phone Compile data, report 13

14 Work ahead with users Dialogue with users is extremely important WIDENS is open to: invite users to participate in field trial, user studies, discussion sessions partcipate in discussion for system technical requirements derivation The discussions with users and ETSI are very important and will support future research and coordination activities 14

15 Beyond the research - towards European harmonization Authorities, users Regulators Industry, R&D organizations, operators Harmonization of standards Cross standard system architecture and network management European cross-standard test bed ties, technologies and applications User studies on new applications 15 User studies on requirements

16 We invite all actors within the Public Safety domain to take part in the user studies Thank you for your attention! 16
