MOBILITY RESEARCH REPORT II . Preface Mobility Research Reports are intended to generate discussion within the Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) community. The community is defined in its broadest scope, and includes environmental and city planners and map and travel guide publishers, as well as the individuals associated with organizations that have thus far been the drivers behind ITS efforts. This widening of the forum for discussion is recognition of the important role that can be played by those who are responsible for designing the environments in which ITS solutions will operate, and by those who have traditionally provided the tools used for human orientation and wayfinding. Each paper expresses the personal views of the author, with a focus on the interrelationships between the designs of the systems, services and infrastructure which are proposed to improve personal and collective mobility, and the planning and design of our habitat.

This case study focuses on a key issue that affects mobile operators irrespective of their geographic location base station battery pilferage. In recent years, Vodafone Italia has suffered a significant series of break-ins at base station sites – with peaks of over a thousand in a year. Aside from the clear CapEX investment required for re-securing the site and battery replacements, interrupting the battery replenishment cycle creates greater maintenance requirements, leading to increased OpEX. To combat theft, Vodafone in conjunction with the Vodafone Automotive team and their battery suppliers, have installed concealed GPS devices within the battery casing and is indistinguishable from standard non-GPS enabled batteries. When unauthorised movements or vibrations above a certain threshold are detected, the GPS sensors are activated, and movements are monitored in real time, remotely from Vodafone’s Security Operations Centre (SOC).
