5GROUTES: Multimodal Services

Overview of 5GROUTES use case on Multimodal Services

FRMCS as the successor of GSM-R is a key enabler for rail transport digitalisation. Furthermore, it is equally important to have uninterrupted and seamless service delivery to passengers and visibility of tracked goods through different modes of transport, such as for example, when changing vehicles or trains to onboard ship liners for journey continuation. In this regard, the QoE for the service should remain unaltered irrespective of the change of transport means, the 5G network provider (terrestrial and/or satellite) and country. The use case has two complementary scenarios: 

• Goods tracking visibility in multimodal cross border logistics to provide seamless tracking of massive amount of goods to validate how business continuity can be achieved across borders, across different means of transport (i.e. automotive, railways and maritime) massive Machine Type of Communications (mMTC) and across terrestrial and satellite 5G operators.
• 5G-based Proactive and Multimodal Management of Passengers and Freight to provide proactive and multimodal management of passengers and freight when crossing borders including across terrestrial and satellite 5G operators.
