Abstract

A self-learning 5G cognitive emergency-management system responds to a triggering condition by instructing a network to open an ad hoc channel to Internet of Things (IoT) devices associated with a mass assembly of users. The system begins tracking the movements of the assembly members by performing trilateration procedures on each user's IoT device. Using artificial intelligence or cognitive analytics, the system identifies and correlates patterns in the aggregated movements of the assembly with other tracked parameters received from the IoT devices and with contextual information retrieved from extrinsic sources. The system infers aggregated user sentiment from these correlations and determines whether the movements or sentiment suggest that an unexpected event is having an adverse impact on the assembly. If so, the system takes corrective action, such as notifying an emergency-management resource or transmitting information or instructions to the assembly members.
