Abstract

A context aware command and control system includes a control system, such as a train control system or a mobile land forces command centre, a mobile device server and a mobile device application resident on a mobile device of the users of the resources being controlled. The control system receives information from the mobile devices such as, in the case of the public transportation application, boarding station, destination station, journey, purchased ticket, location of passenger, passenger with special need information, bus arrival and departure information, and social events information. The control system also receives information such as weather forecast, delays affecting resource delivery, notice of an expected special event with unknown timing parameters, e.g., a sporting event. The train control system analyzes the collected information in combination with historical data to adjust timing and configuration of resource availability in the network. The command and control system also provides data to the mobile application through the mobile server such as, in the case of the transportation application, passenger traffic load, delays, ticketing, train schedules, train traffic, system recommendations and system closure information.
