Context-Aware Mobile Medical Emergency Management Decision Support System for Safe Transportation

Management of safe and successful large-scale events requires detailed careful planning and complex system-wide decision making. However, research into medical emergency knowledge management for just-in-time decision support in mass gatherings lags behind the needs of the community. Unforeseen circumstances, dynamic changes in the environment, various unexpected impact factors require immediate, real-time response that can be achieved mainly through context-aware, intelligent and cost-efficient functionality of the system. We propose a novel architecture for context-aware decision support for medical emergency management in mass gatherings that combines mobile communication technologies with pervasive computing techniques to facilitate and enable effective decision making while ensuring road safety. Our research capitalizes on smart information use and will be of great benefit to making better transportation decisions in mass gatherings emergency management. We also discuss the implementation of a
