Event processing in sensor networks
Alexander Braun, Paula Kroner, Yulia Leontyeva, David Siller · 2012
Powerful public transportation infrastructures are indispensable for today's rapidly growing metropolitan areas and service breakdowns potentially affect millions of passengers. Thus, fast mitigation of emergency situations is a high-priority issue in facilities such as airports or metro systems. We propose a decision support system for emergency management in metro systems and a prototypical implementation that employs rule-based processing of sensor events to detect exceptional situations such as fires. Its specialized 2D/3D user interface assists the operator in choosing adequate actions.
