Abstract. Based on a research program founded by the German Ministry of Traffic and Data Infrastructure, the use of 5G mobile network for modern advanced technologies should be developed and tested. This paper shows the integration of UAS, Multiple Sensor Integration, autonomous UAS Missions and online Geodata handling for the detection of wildfires in a rural region of Saxony / East Germany and the strategy for making use of the upcoming 5G Network. In our project we go a step deeper and combine VIS and Thermal IR cameras in a co-registered way to overlay the images, transfer data of multi-observation poles into a center and perform an automated analysis to detect smoke or hotspots and add to a first estimated localization. The technological advance applied on real project areas means an important step for further applications of UAS and Sensor Fusion Technologies.

The Fifth generation (5G) network is projected to support large amount of data traffic and massive number of wireless connections. Different data traffic has different Quality of Service (QoS) requirements. 5G mobile network aims to address the limitations of previous cellular standards (i.e., 2G/3G/4G) and be a prospective key enabler for future Internet of Things (IoT). 5G networks support a wide range of applications such as smart home, autonomous driving, drone operations, health and mission critical applications, Industrial IoT (IIoT), and entertainment and multimedia. Based on end users’ experience, several 5G services are categorized into immersive 5G services, intelligent 5G services, omnipresent 5G services, autonomous 5G services, and public 5G services. In this paper, we present a brief overview of 5G technical scenarios. We then provide a brief overview of accepted papers in our Special Issue on 5G mobile services and scenarios. Finally, we conclude this paper.

The speed and position measurement is an important part of the train control system. Accurate measurement of train speed and position ensures safety of train running and improves transportation efficiency. Traditional methods to measure speed and position usually rely on single sensor, which has less accuracy and reliability. A method of measuring train speed and position based on multi-sensor fusion is proposed in this paper. Since trains are running on fixed rail tracks, the position of train can be determined by the traveled distance and speed monitoring is essentially to measure the magnitude of train velocity. According to this characteristic, this measurement system consists of axle odometer, Doppler radar, accelerometer and intermittent inquiry balise. The federated Kalman filter is used to implement multi-sensor fusion. Simulation experiment results prove that this method can improve the accuracy and reliability of train speed and position measurement.
