Objective
Research was carried out in order to identify advanced mobile communication applications in 4 specific usage areas: public utilities, broadcasting, express distribution and rail transport.
In each area, user requirements were analysed with a view to selecting 1 or more appropriate applications which were to have been simulated by available technology and their impact evaluated.
User organisations and human factors experts identified and recommended applications of advanced mobile communication for each usage area. Where possible, technical partners reviewed available technology and the 'state of the art' as a prelude to the design of pilot systems to simulate the selected applications.
Detailed information concerning operations was obtained and carefully considered with respect to which applications would be likely to be best received and to have the greatest impact.
The industrial partners TRT undertook a survey of available equipment suitable for an event coverage pilot and Alcatel-ISR did a more extensive investigation into available computer systems, display devices and software products along with detailed considerations with respect to compatibility and issues of software 'porting' and integration. Philips Radio Communication Systems Ltd (PRCS) suggested an outline designbased on available equipment for an express distribution pilot.
MAPS had the objective of identifying and evaluating advanced mobile communication applications in four specific usage areas: public utilities, broadcasting, express distribution and rail transport.
Only the first phase of this process was completed. In each area, user requirements were analysed with a view to selecting one or more appropriate applications which were to have been simulated by available technology and their impact evaluated.
In the single year for which the project ran, user organisations and human factors experts identified and recommended applications of advanced mobile communication for each usage area. Where possible, technical partners reviewed available technology and the 'state-of-the-art' as a prelude to the design of pilot systems to simulate the selected applications.
Detailed information concerning operations was obtained and the partners considered carefully which applications would be likely to be best received and to have the greatest impact. Reports of this activity are contained in project deliverables.
For the industrial partners, TRT undertook a survey of available equipment suitable for an event coverage pilot and Alcatel-ISR did a more extensive investigation into available computer systems, display devices and software products along with detailed considerations of compatibility and issues of software 'porting' and integration. PRCS suggested an outline design based on available equipment for an express distribution pilot.
