Public Notification

In the scope of the present chapter, the authors evaluate several potential opportunities from the suggested use of cell broadcasting systems in mobile communications and its specific usage mainly in emergency warning facilities, at the global level. Cell Broadcasting (CB) is a cellular-based public notification system, existing in the vast majority of all modern mobile infrastructures, worldwide. It can instantly (within a brief timeframe of some seconds) broadcast a cell phone text alert or message to a large number of people (independently of their network operators) specific to a geographical area, covered either by a single cell or by the entire (regional or national) network. Thus, CB technology enables governmental and other appropriate authorities/entities to securely transmit emergency alerts of natural or manmade disasters to the cellular phones of the subscribers in specific areas. Simultaneously, it can offer multiple extra advantages for further market offerings and development. This chapter discusses the challenge imposed by the fast development of the corresponding cellular facilities and, after providing some fundamental technical informative background, it focuses on the advantages offered due to CB with an overview of the current European and international market. The chapter then analyzes options for further evolution in several sectors (political issues, technical matters, and regulatory perspectives). CB is a strong, viable, and immediate communications solution, which can be put in place to better alert citizens.

Client Server Architecture

A sufficient number of public notification systems in the case of emergencies at nuclear power plants have been developed and implemented. However, most of them have some drawbacks related to system performance, the ability to direct the public to evacuation points, promptness in warning. Mostly, they do not use the capabilities of state- of-the-art technologies — mobile applications for smartphones, which allow elimination of these drawbacks. This research is aimed at the design and development of the public notification system using an algorithm for making effective plans of evacuation in emergencies based on the client- server architecture. In addition to the server and client parts, the package also uses Google Maps services for dealing with an interactive map. A special characteristic of this software solution is an innovative approach to the calculation and transfer of the evacuation plan to the victim. The following three parameters are the most important in finding an effective way for each victim: distance to the shelter; time to cover an estimated distance; movement speed. Such an algorithm makes it possible to calculate an adequate route of evacuation separately for each victim, adjusting the distance depending on the speed of movement and fullness of shelters. The efficiency of the developed algorithm for the distribution of potential victims in shelters and evacuation points is presented in AnyLogic models. The paper presents the analysis of using the evacuation model for short path and using the developed path calculation algorithm. The simulated situations have shown the possibility of saving a larger number of people. The developed information system effectively deals with the models built in the AnyLogic program.

Modular Framework

Vehicle tracking is a very powerful ingredient in developing location based services such as passenger notification system. It provides value to passenger and gives tools for analysis, evaluation, and management strategies for businesses. A major challenge is for businesses to implement such systems. Tracking systems are either too simple to do the task or too complex and expensive to develop. In this paper a flexible and scalable system design for building such solutions is proposed using University Putra Malaysia (UPM) student bus scheme. System specifications has been calculated, designed and simulated providing an efficient system with the capabilities of monitoring buses, inform student with current bus location and time to arrive and also send phone messages and e-mails to students upon request.
