Computer-implemented methods, systems and computer program products leveraging collection and analysis of anonymized biological data, location data, individual IDs and time data from groups of individuals within a surrounding environment. The anonymized data can be combined with sources of map data and available historical data to help provide context about the surrounding environment of the users and stored for analysis and decision-making that physically impacts and alters the surrounding environment. At periodic or sporadic intervals, the collected data is extracted and analyzed. Based on the analysis of the anonymized data, physical changes are dynamically implemented within the physical environment, including remotely altering the physical environment by instructing changes to surrounding environment over a computer network such as modifying one or more settings of IoT devices positioned within the surrounding environment analyzed.

Dynamic environmental control

An embodiment of the invention may include a method, computer program product and computer system for managing mobile objects. The embodiment may manage, by a first computing system, a plurality of mobile objects moving within a geographic space. Managing the plurality of mobile objects may assisting with movement of the plurality of mobile objects. The embodiment may determine whether a first mobile object among the plurality of mobile objects is a real mobile object based on a first sensor information received from the first mobile object. The embodiment may use information received from the first mobile object in managing the plurality of mobile objects moving within the geographic space based on determining that the first mobile object is the real mobile object.

Management of mobile objects

An embodiment of the invention may include a method, computer program product and computer system for managing mobile objects. The embodiment may identify, by an event agent (EA), an event occurring in a geographic space in which a plurality of mobile objects move. The embodiment may include determining the event is an expected event based on predicting time-series changes of the event handled by the EA. The embodiment may manage the one mobile object based on the expected event.

A system comprising: an event server including a plurality of event agents for handling events occurring in a geographic space; a selector operable to select an event agent among the plurality of event agents for handling an event candidate based on a type of a source information; and a mobile object server including a mobile object agent assigned to a moving object in the geographic space, wherein the mobile object server is operable to execute the mobile object agent to collect information of an event from the selected event agent and provide the moving object with information that assists the moving object with traveling in the geographic space.

Management of events and moving objects

A method for stream-processing data including a missing part in real time and thereafter updating the result of the stream processing. A technique for processing data is included. The technique includes receiving data; detecting a probably missing part in the received data while stream-processing the received data in real time; and comparing master data corresponding to the received data and having no missing part with the probably missing part, and if the received data has the missing part, updating the result of the stream processing using the master data.

Stream-processing data

An embodiment of the invention may include a method, computer program product and computer system for managing mobile objects. The embodiment may identify, by an event agent (EA), an event occurring in a geographic space in which a plurality of mobile objects move. The embodiment may determine the event is an expected event based on predicting time-series changes of the event handled by the EA. The embodiment may manage, by a predictive environment agent (PEA), the expected event.

Phenomenon data for at least one moving phenomenon that affects travel on at least one roadway can be received. An impact distribution for the phenomenon over a plurality of phenomenon cells can be determined and corresponding phenomenon impact distribution data can be generated. For at least one vehicle, a plurality of candidate routes for the vehicle to reach an intended destination can be determined. For each candidate route, whether the candidate route intersects with at least phenomenon cell impacted by the phenomenon can be determined. If so, a vehicle simulation agent for that vehicle and that candidate route can be initialized. Using the vehicle simulation agent, an impact of the phenomenon on the vehicle can be determined based on the phenomenon impact distribution data. Data indicating the impact of the phenomenon on travel of the vehicle if the vehicle were to travel along the respective the route can be output.

Predicting an impact of a moving phenomenon on a travelling vehicle

An embodiment of the invention includes a system, method and computer program product for managing dynamic events. The embodiment may include managing, by a first subsystem, an event in a first region of the plurality of geographic regions using a first event agent. The embodiment may include determining whether the event is predicted to spread from the first region to a second region. The embodiment may include generating a first dynamic event agent to monitor the event as a dynamic event based on predicting the event may spread from the first region to the second region. The first dynamic event agent may receive information relating to the dynamic event, update a status of the dynamic event based on the received information, and transmit the received information. The embodiment may include generating, by a second subsystem, a second dynamic event agent for handling the dynamic event in the second region.

Management of dynamic events and moving objects

A method for notifying a mobile body that the mobile body is approaching a particular area comprising calculating a plurality of areas where the mobile body may arrive on the basis of dynamic map information; calculating, for each event occurring in the plurality of areas, an arriving probability of arriving at a region affected by the event; extracting an avoidance position for enabling the mobile body to avoid arriving at the region affected by the event; calculating an encountering probability of meeting the region affected by the event on the basis of a reliability of the event, the arriving probability, and the avoidance position, and notifying the mobile body of the encountering probability.
