Abstract

A cell broadcast emergency services delivery mechanism for vehicular Internet of Things (IoT) communication is provided. A method can comprise receiving, from a federal emergency management agency device, first data representing federal management emergency event data, aggregating second data representing an emergency event associated with a vehicle with the first data to form third data, based on the emergency event data and the third data, determining a commonality between the first data and the second data, in response to determining the commonality between the first data and the second data, generating metadata, and broadcasting the metadata to the vehicle.

Claims

1. A device, comprising:

a processor; and

a memory that stores executable instructions that, when executed by the processor, facilitate performance of operations, comprising;

receiving first data representative of an emergency event associated with a vehicle, wherein the first data comprises weather data associated with the vehicle and the emergency event;

aggregating the first data with second data to form third data;

determining, as a function of the emergency event and the third data, a commonality between the first data and the second data;

as a function of a longitude coordinate associated with the vehicle, a latitude coordinate associated with the vehicle and a defined peripheral boundary, determining a contiguous area that abuts the defined peripheral boundary; and

based on the commonality identified between the first data and the second data, generating metadata, and transmitting the metadata to the vehicle and transmitting the metadata to the contiguous area.

2. The device of claim 1, wherein the second data is received from a federal emergency management agency device.

3. The device of claim 1, wherein the first data comprises the longitude coordinate associated with the vehicle and the latitude coordinate associated with the vehicle.

4. The device of claim 3, wherein the operations further comprise identifying a network device situated in a defined geographical area represented by the longitude coordinate and the latitude coordinate.

5. The device of claim 3, wherein the operations further comprise determining the defined peripheral boundary that circumscribes the longitude coordinate and the latitude coordinate.

6. The device of claim 5, wherein the operations further comprise identifying a network device within the defined peripheral boundary.

7. The device of claim 1, wherein the first data is received in response to an engine control unit associated with the vehicle detecting a deceleration of the vehicle.

8. The device of claim 1, wherein the first data is received in response to an engine control unit associated with the vehicle detecting a deployment of a bag safety device of the vehicle.

9. A method, comprising:

receiving, by a system comprising a processor, first data representative of an emergency event associated with a vehicle, wherein the first data comprises weather data associated with the emergency event and the vehicle;

associating, by the system, the first data with second data to form third data;

based on the emergency event data and the third data, determining, by the system, an existence of a commonality between the first data and the second data;

generating, by the system, metadata as a function of the existence of the commonality;

based on a longitude coordinate associated with the vehicle, a latitude coordinate associated with the vehicle, and a defined peripheral boundary, determining, by the system, an adjacent area that is contiguous to the defined peripheral boundary; and

sending the metadata to the vehicle and sending the metadata to the adjacent area based on the weather data.

10. The method of claim 9, wherein the second data is received from a federal emergency management agency device.

11. The method of claim 9, wherein the first data comprises the longitude coordinate associated with the vehicle and the latitude coordinate associated with the vehicle.

12. The method of claim 11, wherein the longitude coordinate and the latitude coordinate are obtained from a global positioning satellite system device.

13. The method of claim 11, further comprising identifying, by the system, a network device located in a defined geographical area as a function of the longitude coordinate and the latitude coordinate.

14. The method of claim 11, further comprising determining, by the system, the defined peripheral boundary that polygonally surrounds the longitude coordinate and the latitude coordinate.

15. The method of claim 14, further comprising identifying, by the system, a network device within the defined peripheral boundary.

16. The method of claim 9, wherein the first data is received in response to an engine control unit associated with the vehicle detecting a change in velocity of the vehicle.

17. The method of claim 9, wherein the first data is received in response to an engine control unit associated with the vehicle detecting a deployment of a safety device associated with a seat belt of the vehicle.

18. A machine-readable storage medium, comprising executable instructions that, when executed by a processor, facilitate performance of operations, comprising:

receiving, from a federal emergency management agency device, first data representing federal management emergency event data;

aggregating second data representing an emergency event associated with a vehicle with the first data to form third data, wherein the second data comprises weather data associated with the emergency event and the vehicle;

based on the emergency event data and the third data, determining a common cross-section between the first data and the second data;

in response to the determining the common cross-section between the first data and the second data, generating metadata;

in response to determining a defined peripheral boundary based on a longitude coordinate associated with the vehicle and a latitude coordinate associated with the vehicle, determining an area that abuts the defined peripheral boundary; and

broadcasting the metadata to the vehicle and broadcasting the metadata to the area based on the common cross-section between the first data and the second data.

19. The machine-readable storage medium of claim 18, wherein the operations further comprise initiating a session establishment protocol to establish a session with a network device of network devices associated with a radio access network.

20. The machine-readable storage medium of claim 19, wherein the latitude coordinate is a first latitude coordinate, the longitude coordinate is a first longitude coordinate, and the defined peripheral boundary is a first peripheral boundary, and wherein the operations further comprise, as a function of a second longitude coordinate associated with the network device and a second latitude coordinate associated with the network device, determining a second defined peripheral boundary that encloses the network device.
