Application requirements process followed

• After CAR we had several interactions with User
  Communities representatives to move forward
  toward application requirements
• We have therefore acquired further elements for a
  more comprehensive understanding of
• User needs
• Current usage scenarios
• Potential Galileo system benefits
• Future usage scenarios
• Moreover, we identified potential demonstrators
  scenarios in order to identify empirically
  application requirements in context more familiar
  to users

GNSS markets - the Galileo Services the priority
applications in Cultural Heritage sector

• We remind that the two main applications
  identified in the Cultural Heritage sector have
  been
• Cultural Asset Management (CAM) services
  security indoor and during cultural asset
  transportation
• Cultural Asset Fruition (CAF) services
  tour/visiting guide e positioning
• Geo time authentication (GTA )services
  guaranteed positioning service, CA univocal
  identification service
• In the following slides we provide an example of
  the entire process followed to define application
  and service requirements

Cultural Asset Management system User Scenarios
1/2
An user could have at least 2 usage cases that
differ from each other by location o Indoor
security system o Transportation security
system CUSPIS CAM system must support both two
usages. a) Indoor security system In this
case the ca is located in a indoor system (into a
building like a museum or exhibition) and its
position can be known only using an RFID. The ca
equipped by a RFID tag communicates its presence
to an RFID reader. The RFID reader sends
information of the ca presence to SCC. If the
information regarding the ca presence dont reach
the SCC an alarm/warning events starts and
operators are immediately informed about the
danger. It is possible to install a position
transmitter on the ca so if it leaves its
standard position (i.e. thefts) it can be
possible to track its movements. Currently RFID
potentialities are really limited in the space
(RFID has a operability limited at 1m of
distance).

Cultural Asset Management system User Scenarios
2/2

• b) Transportation security system
• A transportation security system for art objects,
  outside their usual exhibition site, must supply
  a quantity of information aimed at ensuring
  correct conservation, and at the same time be
  extremely flexible and easy to use when giving
  information on
• Real time geographical positioning during all
  phases of movement from removal of the object
  from the site until its return, also including
  the passage and permanence in airports and during
  any of the various means of rail or road
  transportation
• Presence of mechanical stress such as vibrations
  and shock
• Information about correctness of moving and
  placement during the loading phase, in respect of
  the indications written on the cases
• Microclimatic parameters, temperature and
  relative humidity
• Atmospheric pollutants etc.
• It is easy to understand that in this way the
  CUSPIS CAM Client could be not only a pure
  tracking unit, but a more complex unit very
  helpful to know everything about the CA during
  its movements.

Tranport of CAs different possibilities

• We can observe that there are different types of
  transport by air, by see and by truck. Each type
  of transport has different risks in the air
  transport the most dangerous phase for the CA is
  the phase of boarding and disembark by the air ,
  when the CA is on the trolleys (undercarriages)
  in the transport by sheep it is really complicate
  to receive a continue satellite signal and to
  have a constant monitoring of the CA because in
  the hold there isnt a good signal the transport
  by truck presents various risks during the phases
  of boarding and disembark and during the
  itinerary because of possible obstacles that the
  truck could find on the road.
• Analyzing the transport by truck we can find the
  following application scenarios
• Route planning off board tracking and tracing
  SCC suggests the best itinerary with final
  destination coordinated. If the truck is out of
  the route planed it can communicate immediately
  to SCC the emergency.
• Safeguard accessibility of case and monitor of
  parameters responsible terminal and sensors
  attached to CA package can send SCC alarm signal.
• Case to be opened only in pre-defined geo-
  referenced destination coordinate sensors
  attached to each CA sends a signal to responsible
  terminal if the CAs case is opened out of final
  destination coordinate.
• Moreover, it is possible during the trip, to
  communicate immediately any kind of emergencies
  to the SCC, to require help or a first aid.

Cultural Asset Fruition system User Scenarios

• We can analyze CAF applications considering three
  applications scenarios
• Planning First level concerns a tourist which
  plans to visit a cultural site system allows the
  user to register his/her profile on an internet
  site and receive information concerning his/her
  points of interest before the visit.
• On- travel Second level concerns specific
  information that the tourist receive during
  his/her journey to reach specific POI and
  suggestions on specific itineraries. The tourist
  use a portable device equipped with Egnos
  receiver.
• On site Third level concerns a tourist in
  proximity of a POIs (outdoor) that receive
  specific information related to the CAs or other
  additional information useful for his/her visit
  both for leisure or emergency (restaurants,
  events, pharmacies, etc.) During indoor tour it
  is necessary consider integration with local
  system and/or the usage of other terminals
  (rented). Contents included in this type of
  terminals are protected and user pays the
  service.

8
GTA user scenario

• GTA application can be considered an important
  component of both CAM and CAF applications.
• CA univocal identification is a necessary
  service requirement to realize other
  applications.
• The pre-requirement for the univocal
  identification is a CA catalogue
• It is necessary to establish which institution is
  responsible for CA catalogue in a country the
  Italian case is really complicate because the
  catalogue concerns just limited geographical
  areas as Lucca, part of Florence.
• More over it is necessary an authority (which
  could be represented by GOC) responsible for the
  guarantee of ID.
• The lack of a complete catalogue of CA in a
  country is a strong barrier for the GTA
  application development.

9
Application requirements structure

• The application requirements should translate in
  a structured format the user needs in order to
  allow the definition of system requirements. The
  main elements of this structure format are
• A description of the specific needs
• The actions that are related to the specific
  process related to the user need
• Besides the application requirements there are
  the service requirements that describe how the
  system should perform when it is delivered

10
Application requirements example for CAF

• Need The user close to a POI receives
  information on it from a service provider
• Description The user scenario is that of a
  tourist that visit the historic centre of a city
  part of his/her itinerary chosen.He/she has
  received all the contents on his/her terminal
  concerning the POIs on his/her itinerary.
• In proximity of a main CAs (identified by the
  system through its geo-referenced coordinates)
  user can contact SCC to have additional
  information and establish a connection with SCC.
• Process
• The user get close to the CAs and checks the
  information on the terminal
• On the terminal appears the basic description of
  the CAs (small picture, name, historical period)
  and a set of link that allow him/her to get more
  info on it (detailed historical/cultural
  information, related PoIs) or other info
  (logistic, emergency).He/she can asks SCC
  additional information or communicates an
  emergency or assistance.
• Service requirements In case of loss of
  communication with the SCC, the system has to
  attempt automatically to reconnect.

11
Application requirements example for CAM

• Need Recognition of final destination of a CAs
• Description The user scenario is that of CAs
  lent for an exhibition that is transported by
  truck and arrive to the final destination.
• Process
• Current processBefore the journey the
  responsible of the CAs set on the terminal the
  itinerary and the final destination. At the
  arrival responsible for CAs receives on his/her
  terminal .
• Possible future process SCC suggests the best
  itinerary. Responsible receives on his/her
  terminal the final destination coordinates. When
  the truck arrives at the final destination the
  responsibles terminal sends SCC a signal.
• Service requirements there is a central control
  (SCC) that receive all the information.
• In case of loss of communication between
  responsible terminal and the SCC, the system has
  to attempt automatically to reconnect.

12
Application requirements example for CAM

• Need Communication between the terminal of Cas
  responsible and the sensors attached on the CAs.
• Description The user scenario is that of CAs
  lent for an exhibition that is transported by
  truck. During the journey the sensors communicate
  to the terminal info about Ca presence,
  temperature, humidity, vibration.
• Process
• Before the journey the sensors are positioned in
  the Cas cases and are set the time unit to
  transmit data to the Cas responsible terminal.
• Service requirements In case of loss of
  communication between the terminal and the
  sensors the system has to send an alarm signal.
  Galileo is a guaranteed system truck can be
  immediately localized from the SCC .
