The "Next Generation City Networks" (NGCN) project will establish a pioneering experimental system within the DZM. Its systemic approach combines an innovative radio and communications infrastructure with a data-based model platform for the 15-minute city and the "emergency medicine" use case. The use of wireless innovations and new data lakes inherent in NGCN connect urban IoT systems and AI applications in the sense of a groundbreaking AIoT for cities. NGCN is based on three interlinked thematic complexes: (1) "Novel mobile communications infrastructures for high-performance mobility applications" (PIONEER_6G) under the leadership of the Hamburg University of Technology, which investigates innovative technologies for positioning and radio data transmission; (2) "Sensor Data Fusion for Mobility Design in the 15-Minute City" (SUMO_15), led by the HCU, which investigates IoT and AI approaches for the realization of the 15-minute city and is building a simulation platform for this purpose; and (3) "Innovative Network Technologies for an Optimal Rescue Chain" (EMERGENCY), led by the University of Lübeck, which utilizes CPS technologies to optimize all elements in the rescue chain of emergency medical care. The topic areas are linked to each other via content interfaces such as real-time situation reports, urban real-world laboratories, and traffic flow optimization, as well as to the ongoing Hamburg DZM project SMBuW. Partners from the DFKI, the The Björn Steiger Foundation and the companies Breuer Nachrichtentechnik and BizzTech are involved. The project aims to establish a Hamburg neighborhood as a "real-world laboratory" in which a 5G mobile network with location functionality will be built and operated on a large scale. Using the innovative principle of wave field synthesis, location data will be used to create a real-time situation report in high-resolution 3D city models – as a basis for the development of planning and mobility scenarios for the city of short, fast routes, especially for predictive traffic flow optimization in critical situations such as medical rescue operations.
