Some Activities in Crisis
Management
The RUNES and U-2010 Projects
Peter T. Kirstein, UCL
RUNES 2006 and U-2010
• The EC IST Framework Programme (FP) has
many themes. Three are:
– Research Infrastructure
– Embedded Sensors
– Crisis Management
• 6NET and other talks in this session from
research infrastructures
– FP5 and FP6 had strong IPv6 track
– 6NET FP5 2002 - 2005
• RUNES is in embedded sensors track
– RUNES FP6 2004 - 2007
• U-2010 is in Crisis management track
– U-2010 FP6 2006 - 2009

The RUNES Project
• The project aims and objectives
– Technology development for embedded networked
Sensors
• The work-packages
– Architecture, sensors, networks, control, middleware,
sensor networks, demonstrations
• Could have chosen many targets for project, but
chose one on “fire in a tunnel”
• Mainly IPv4, though some IPv6 near the end
• Is same as one of the targets in U-2010
– Partners are different, but allows technology of
RUNES to be exploited in U-2010
– Allows much more extensive components to be
introduced into U-2010

The U-2010 Project
• The project aims and objectives
– Crisis management in different in different scenarios
– Scenarios mountain rescue, bird flu, “fire in a tunnel”,
nuclear emergency
• Will concentrate on IPv6, though some
interworking with legacy IPv4 services
• One application same as RUNES
– Partners are different, will use some RUNES
technology, but additional gateways
– Much more emphasis on variety of networks

RUNES
• Reconfigurable Ubiquitous Networked
Embedded Systems
• To provide a standardised architecture enabling
the creation of large-scale, widely-distributed,
heterogeneous networked embedded systems
that inter-operate and adapt to their environment
• Mainly IPv4 based through 2005/2006
– IPv6 capability added in 2007 to some
– Although only some demonstrated, almost all will
move over simply to IPv6

Tunnel infrastructure – Reqs.
•
•
•
•
Tunnel Local Control Room
Remote “Control Rooms”
Firemen Control Centre
Static wireless sensor network
– Sensors part of the tunnel fixed infrastructure
– Collect humidity, light, temperature readings and
send back to Tunnel Control Room
– Via fixed 802.15.4 gateway in tunnel
• Dynamic wireless sensors network
– Fire fighters have motes attached to uniform
– Fire fighters deploy more motes upon arrival
– Via 802.15.4 gateway on a mobile van

21
IPv6 in the RUNES Final Demo
• 6LoWPAN
– 802.15.4 MTU=125 bytes, IPv6 min MTU=1280 bytes
=> Fragment & Reassemble, Compress Headers
• NEMO
– WSN attached to firemen moves with them in tunnel,
van equipped with 802.15.4 g/w => need to change
point of network attachment => sensor network is
now mobile
• Auto-configuration
– New motes fired up => need IPv6 addresses
– Many WSN in tunnel => which PAN coordinator?
– Some motes may fail => re-route

U-2010 Motivation – A Study
• Current comms equipment of security and rescue
services does not match up to the requirements
• Absence of protected and confidential comms
does not allow for a silent mobilisation
– use of public GSM phones provides the only
possibility of a minimum of confidentiality
• Public communications are the only alternative
– To reach the complete government structure
– To connect to subscribers of public networks
– BUT: Lack of government owned capacity
• The crisis scenarios required confidential and
redundant communication services
28 August, 2007
RUNES and U-2010, APAN-24, Xian, China

Project Vision
• To provide the most capable communication tools
• To provide the most effective access to
information…
• …to all required to swiftly act in case of accident,
incident, catastrophe or crisis
• …whilst using existing and/or future (tele)
communication infrastructures
• Trial and validation activities will show the
application of the results in real life crisis scenarios
• Results of u-2010 as showcase for other Countries
• Base all on IPv6 – with IPv4 only for interworking
with legacy systems

Goals of the Project u-2010
• Enhance the availability of the collection of
services by use of all existing networks
• Leverage redundant communication channels
• Use of automatic redirection and/or transformation
of communications in case of network failures
• Use of new research results in the area of wireless
ad hoc networks and IPv6.
• Use of existing technology and networks
• Create solutions that are as universal as possible

Cisco MARS G/w
ASTRA2Connect Mobile Satellite Earth Station
Most RUNES Components
Video system in real tunnel
Video cameras
Emergency Personal Vests
• Are interfacing parts to interwork
– Often need extra programmable components to run
adaptation middleware
• Are ensuring most can be IPv6-enabled
– Or can work via IPv4 G/w

RUNES Components + Additions
• In U-2010 will connect Lippert G/w to
CISCO mobile access router (MARS)
– MARS will connect to other WAN devices
• Will add audio and video sub-systems VIC,
RAT
– Can operate over IPv6 with and without multicast
– Can be modified to operate without a GUI into same
environment in embedded form
– May be added to either G/w for camera over U2010, or
low frame rate over sensor network

Conclusions
• RUNES project showed how complex IPv4
applications can be put together for the
emergency environment
– That real advantages accrue from IPv6 in mobility,
reconfiguration and security
– Move to IPv6 fairly straightforward
• U-2010 is tackling a much more complex situation
– Is starting by ensuring most components can be IPv6enabled or can interwork with legacy systems
• Involves real customers in several governments
• Should point the way to important deployments
