A spatio-temporal surveillance approach for business activity monitoring

Abstract

The SECAIR project provides an event-driven architecture for dealing with spatio-temporal requirements. It adopts a multi-sensor data fusion process to handle with event streams emitting continuously location based data regarding a vast number of different business objects. It is therefore well-suited for business activity monitoring, supporting managers at analysing and processing complex event streams in real-time. A prototype applied to the surveillance of situation awareness requirements for airport environments is presented, in particular to monitor ground movements in very congested areas for indoor and outdoor areas. Outputs are presented using an advanced Graphical-User Interface, addressing a collaborative environment for airport stakeholders to manage ground handling operational procedures more efficiently and in compliance with airport business rules. © 2013 ICST Institute for Computer Science, Social Informatics and Telecommunications Engineering.
