ONOFRE-4-UPCT (Multi-stakeholder Network Planning and Orchestration for Reliable and Secure Connected Mobility: Multi-RAT Planning and Operation) is the subproject of the ONOFRE-4 collaborative project that will be carried out by Universidad Politécnica de Cartagena. ONOFRE-4 aims to develop efficient planning and management mechanisms for network infrastructures equipped with computing resources. The focus is on providing support for connected, reliable and secure mobility, with special consideration given to the interrelation between networks operated by different actors. The ONOFRE-4-UPCT subproject will focus on novel methods and algorithms for multi-RAT operation and planning of networks shared by multiple stakeholders. Multi-RAT capabilities will be enhanced by multichannel operation, and low power technologies will be considered to cover the requirements of vulnerable road users (VRU) specific devices. P2MP coherent pluggable transceivers, coupled with a hierarchical SDN controller as orchestrator will be used to satisfy constraints at the core network. Both classical methods and ML techniques will be exploited and integrated in constrained devices for real experiments and simulation tools. A mobile crowdsensing scenario with VRU-specific technologies will be used to test effective multistakeholder operation and cooperation over heterogeneous links. UPCT will leverage the Cartagena City Council air monitoring networks, OBUs developed in previous projects and the UM
