UNICRINF - SMART EVENT PROCESSOR

Suiting the Future of City Operations

Smart Event Processor is a framework that combines real-time data from different sources, correlating them and concluding on the existence of an event (alarm), enabling the activation of a rapid response from the reaction mechanisms.

THE CHALLENGE

  • City

    Cities need strong and resilient critical infrastructure to be able to adapt to natural and man-made catastrophes, as these are dynamic and evolving realities that require systematic monitoring.

  • Interoperability

    Cities have many sensors able to signal the existence of an irregularity: air quality stations, CCTV cameras, fire-fighting systems, e.t.c. However, without interoperability between these systems, and between them and the emergency systems, the necessary responses will not be activated to inform about the urgency of moving firefighting teams to put out the fire and paramedics to rescue the victims and take them to hospital.

WHAT WE OFFER

Urban Platform Urban Platform Mobile
The Smart Event Processor provides a rule-based alarming layer to monitor data coming from IoT systems in a city ecosystem.
It allows the combination of data, in a given event, in order to activate the response mechanisms in an agile and reliable way. It’s of key value in scenarios in which the provision of a rapid response is fundamental, particularly in the fields of Security and Civil Protection.

HOW DOES IT WORK

The Smart Event Processor is deployed on the network edge close to the location where the raw data is generated. The large amounts of raw data are processed by this component and ultimately will generate complex events and transfer them to a third-party control application running in the cloud.

The amount of data transferred to the cloud/core of the network is highly reduced improving real-time processing performance of the whole system.

  • Raw data processor

    Firstly, the sensing data provided by the sensing devices are preprocessed, filtered and stored in a database. Some types of data are time-sensitive, e.g. data coming from accelerometers capable of detecting earthquakes. Other types of data that are more delay tolerant are processed by the data aggregation submodule and later dispatched when a configurable amount of data or elapsed time is reached.

  • Complex ecent generator

    Is implemented based on a Complex Event Processing (CEP) rule engine. The data received from the raw data processor will be matched with rules in the rule database. If the matching is successful, complex events will be inferred and generated to send to the upper application. In some cases, the CEP engine also analyses previously generated complex events (history) to infer certain events more accurately.

URBAN PLATFORM

Urban Platform Urban Platform Mobile
Integrating the Urban Platform

Easy, intuitive and comprehensive, the Urban Platform offers city managers and other authorities a global and integrated view of the city by displaying analysed and correlated information on its several verticals, from mobility and energy to air quality and waste collection.

The Smart Event Processing module integrated into the Urban Platform unlocks new use cases and expands the current users it already covers. Urban Platform becomes capable of assisting new critical service providers such as first respondents, firefighters and civil authorities.

ABOUT THE PROJECT

UNICRINF
Universal Critical Infrastructures

The investigation and development carried out by Ubiwhere in UNICRINF have prompted the creation of the Smart Event Processor.

UNICRINF is a CELTIC-NEXT project aiming to identify the remaining post-catastrophe infrastructure and develop the protocols, interfaces, etc to recover in automatic way the telecommunications infrastructure at all layers, core, mobile network, access, fiber, by establishing:

Effective disaster communication solutions (for a variety of scenarios & use cases) creating an agnostic network in a chaotic environment using the available resources, enabling the communication between all the devices regardless of the operator.

A Global integrated platform to monitor catastrophes, create ad-hoc communication infrastructures, communicate with emergency teams and advise citizens, using the available communications infrastructure.
