description: The 5G-TOURS project work within the mobility-efficient city aims at implementing a set of use cases that improve mobility-related experiences from various perspectives. These use cases revolve around the 5G EVE Athens site, including an extension to the Athens International Airport (AIA). This deliverable describes the mobility efficient city use cases final implementation evaluated on final network infrastructure that is deployed at AIA as an extension of the 5G EVE Athens site, as well as the final results that have been achieved. The scope of this deliverable is to describe the final progress in the implementation of the use cases to date in terms of the network deployment and the equipment that is utilized, as well as from the application point of view and the terminal equipment components and interfaces. These interfaces enable the communication between the actors of each UC and the 5G-TOURS network infrastructure. Furthermore, a crucial part of this deliverable is to present the steps that have been taken in terms of integration and trials at the AIA facilities, while also presenting results that have been produced during the trials in the field. Finally, this deliverable serves as a final successor to deliverable D6.1 [2], D6.2 [27] produced within WP6 - Mobility-efficient city use cases implementation, which focus on the implementation of the use cases of the mobility-efficient city. In D6.1 the focus was on the use cases description, in the definition of a detailed work plan as well as on the architecture definition of each use case. In addition, deliverable D6.2 described the progress in terms of the functionality implemented for the 4 UCs of the mobility-efficient city. Subsequently, D6.4 describes the final progress and achievements in terms of implementation of the infrastructure and the applications for the following 4 UCs of the mobility-efficient city, as well as the final validation results: ● Use case 10 – Smart airport parking management: In this use case, parking users at the airport obtain real time information on available and occupied spaces through 5G-enabled parking sensors. They are able to locate available parking spaces directly through a mobile application and are guided there via the optimal route. This use case involves large throughputs, low latencies, and high capacity, which represents an essential functionality of the 5G family technology. ● Use case 11 – Video-Enhanced ground-based moving vehicles: This use case provides high-definition cameras to the follow-me vehicles which lead aircrafts to parking positions, monitor and oversee the activity at the Airport Airside area, and attend incidents, emergencies and critical events, thusimproving day-to-day airport operations as well as response activities to emergencies. This use case involves very large throughputs as well as highly critical communications. ● Use case 12 – Emergency airport evacuation: This use case focuses on the evacuation of the airport in a quick and organized fashion in case of an emergency, providing automated guidance of emergency routes from the affected area up to the muster areas. This use case focuses on the location accuracy part of 5G technology. The application relies on AR technology suitable for training exercises and simulations at the airport. ● Use case 13 – Excursion on an Augmented Reality (AR)/Virtual Reality (VR)-enhanced bus: This use case focuses on school students travelling to a destination of educational interest, generating good quality digital learning experiences both during the transportation to the destination and the visit of the exhibition, involving large throughputs and low latencies in highly mobile environments.
