Consortium

1) Integration of vertical use cases

Coordination and integration (requirements, content) of vertical Berlin use cases regarding Digital Sustainable Mobility – Mobility as a Service – MaaS; digital innovative agriculture and Digital Learning and e-education. Examples for Berlin use cases: Door-to-Door services for passenger mobility based on sustainable transport modes, Green-City-cargo application and services. Both use-cases are modules for future integrated MaaS concepts. Berlin use cases for Digital Sustainable Agriculture: Digital herbicides for regional organic agriculture in Berlin and Brandenburg & Innovative distribution network for regional organic agriculture in Berlin & environs. Both use cases are modules for future integrated Digital Sustainable Regional Agriculture concepts; Use cases for Digital Learning and e-education: E-learning and e-education for Berlin universities regarding renewable energies, energy efficiency and resource efficiency and Smart learning and qualification applications for regional craftsman. Both use cases are modules for future Digital Sustainable Learning and Education concepts.

2) Development of a consistent framework for sustainable MaaS

Develop a common framework for the innovative mobility applications and services in terms of sustainable MaaS – Mobility as a Service concepts (MaaS concepts with strong focus on public and active modes of transport, local and regional governance, integrated IT platform solution with open data policy and open access for a great variety of mobility services, PPP concepts for financing, strong integration of transport modes leading to services for seamless transport, integration of green logistics services ….). The implementation of Sustainable MaaS concepts leads to an overall improvement of the sustainability performance of the respective transport and mobility system of a city and / or region.

3) Technology assessment and sustainability impact assessment of 5G high performance networks and innovative applications running on 5G high performance networks. Technology assessment includes technical aspects as e.g. TRL / maturity, development potential, areas of application; carbon footprint, energy performance and efficiency potentials; sustainability impact assessment includes a multi-dimensional assessment scheme taking into account economic criteria (cost efficiency, required investments, compatibility with existing infrastructures, etc.), environmental criteria (energy performance, emission performance, toxicity of required materials, etc.) as well as social criteria (access to services, fair pricing, benefits for urban and rural environments, etc.).

4) Development of innovative business models for new applications running on 5G high performance networks. There will be a special focus on value based business model development – starting from the relevant SDGs – Sustainable Development Goals – and addressing the required sustainability performance and impacts.
Innovative business models for mobility applications are developed on the basis of SDG 11(Inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable cities and human settlements) and SDG 13 (Combat climate change and its impacts).
Innovative business models for energy applications are developed on the basis of SDG 7 (Access to affordable, reliable, sustainable and modern energy for all), SDG 9 (Resilient infrastructure, promote inclusive and sustainable industrialization and foster innovation) and SDG 13 (Combat climate change and its impacts)
Innovative business models for agriculture applications are developed on the basis of SDG 2 (End of hunger, food security and improved nutrition, sustainable agriculture) and SDG 13 (Combat climate change and its impacts)
Innovative business models for education applications are developed on the basis of SDG 4 (Inclusive and equitable quality education and lifelong learning opportunities for all).
