5G: City. Country. Save lives

Improving the rescue chain using 5G mobile technology

5G: City. Country. Saving Lives is a BMDV-sponsored funding project that focuses on further improving the rescue chain with the help of the new 5G mobile communications technology. From emergency calls to first aid to the work of the emergency services. The potential users are the citizens who benefit from a more effective rescue operation. More effective means more targeted and faster. After all, the emergency services that are alerted also benefit from an improved supply of information.

Analysis

how the rescue chain can be improved using 5G mobile technology

Optimization

various use cases from emergency calls to first aid to the work of the emergency services

Testing

Of the use of drones by delivering first aid materials to shorten the therapy-free interval.

Project duration

Project start: in 2022 Project end: until 2024

The goal

The project investigates ways to improve the protection and rescue of people. The aim is to strengthen the individual links in the rescue chain and to create as seamless a transition as possible between them. The concrete applications required for this will be developed in interviews with experts, first responders, and technology and network providers.

The testing of the technologies will be closely monitored by the task forces in the project area at the level of Baden-Württemberg (Ulm and Alb-Donau district) and Bavaria (Neu-Ulm), so that the link to practice is ensured at all times.  

The concepts to be developed start before and after the arrival of the rescue forces, i.e. the affected emergency patient, the person reporting an emergency call or the first responder. Emergency responders benefit at the following points: Control centers, managers of the emergency organizations and the rescue forces (fire department and rescue service) themselves.

The innovations are tested and their suitability validated in deployment simulations. The perspective of the first responders is ensured through the involvement of test persons.

In addition, a group of experts accompanies the research project, advising the project partners and ensuring that the tested applications can be used beyond the project region.

More information on 5G: City. Country. Save lives. is available on the following project website: https://5g-rettungsbuerger.de/

The implementation

During the three-year project phase, the following use cases will be implemented for the Ulm innovation region:

  • Emergency call: Optimization of the initial deployment of forces by improving the situation assessment in the control center using live video images and overcoming the language barrier.
  • First aid: shortening the therapy-free interval by delivering the required first aid material with highly automated drones.
  • Emergency forces: Optimization of situation assessment in complex emergency situations (hazardous substances or smoke gas spread, heavy rain events, major events) as well as the protection of emergency forces

Our contribution

Droniq supports the project with software and hardware solutions to show on the one hand the visibility of the deployed drones using transponder technology for manned aviation.

On the other hand, a combined live air situation display is generated to monitor and control both manned and unmanned air traffic.

In addition, Droniq contributes greatly through consulting services such as operational concepts (ConOps) and risk analysis (SORA) to get the project or operations using drones approved by the state aviation authorities.

More projects & customer stories

Customer story
ABGnova

Surveying and inspecting construction sites, as well as checking the progress of construction, can be done faster, more accurately and more economically by drone.
Customer story
Evonik

Drones are a valuable tool for the plant fire department or plant security. Droniq trained Evonik employees at three sites in the theory and practice of safe handling of these unmanned aerial vehicles.
Customer story
DFMG Deutsche Funkturm

Droniq advised Deutsche Funkturm on the aerial flight of the Berlin TV tower by drone to collect data for a detailed 3D model and ensured the necessary approvals - an enormous challenge from an aviation law perspective.
Customer story
Kiel Fire Department

Kieler Woche, one of the largest sailing events in the world, provided the setting for an innovative drone project in 2024, which was intended to improve the safety and efficiency of rescue operations. Together with Droniq GmbH, the Kiel fire department tested the use of drone flights beyond visual line of sight (BVLOS) to evaluate the possibilities of this technology in rescue operations.
Customer story
FlyNex / MITNETZ STROM

Power lines have to be inspected regularly for bird nests and erosion - a time-consuming and costly task. For Mitnetz Strom, FlyNex flew a route by drone, Droniq supported with the HOD4track.
Customer story
LARUS

How can a drone find drowning victims on the open sea? That's what the LARUS project investigated. Thanks to Droniq's aerial situational awareness, dangerous approaches with manned air traffic could be avoided.
Customer story
Thyssengas

The pipeline network of the gas transport network operator Thyssengas covers around 4,200 km. The pipelines have to be flown regularly - this will be done by drones in the future. Droniq supports this with an LTE modem (HOD4track) as well as aerial displays of the relevant air traffic in the vicinity.
Customer story
Röhm plant fire department

The integration of drones into Röhm's work processes has given rise to new challenges. Not only is the process for issuing an operating permit complex, but the creation of a mandatory operating description is also extensive and requires in-depth knowledge of drone and aviation law.

Customer story
Wingcopter

What would otherwise be done by a small truck can be done much faster, quieter and more environmentally friendly by drone. Wingcopter tested a transport of samples from a plant to the central laboratory for the industrial company Merck.
Project
ADAM

With the growing relevance of Urban Air Mobility (UAM), the requirements for the environmental detection of Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) are constantly increasing. Static obstacles must be reliably detected, especially for ground-level missions. While 3D maps are established for autonomous driving, methods for machine-readable digitization of the lower airspace must be developed for UAM in order to create the redundancies required for Beyond-Visual-Line-Of-Sight (BVLOS) flight.

Project
Advanced Air Mobility Initiative Northwest Germany & German Bight (AAM-NW)

The aim of the project is to create a coordinated airspace for both manned and unmanned aviation and to enable their use.

Project
AMI-PGS

AMI-PGS (Air Mobility Initiative - Positioning & Guidance Systems) has as its overall objective to enable the integration of eVTOLs into existing air traffic and thus increase the safety and efficiency of aircraft movements. AMI-PGS is part of the Air Mobility Initiative (AMI), which is funded by the Free State of Bavaria and the Federal Republic of Germany and initiates a number of research projects.
