CONTEXT AWARE COMMAND AND CONTROL SYSTEM
First Claim
1. A context aware command and control system, the context aware system being configured to modify operational behaviour and configured to being communicatively coupled with a mobile device having a mobile device application, the context aware command and control system comprising:
- a mobile device server, the mobile device server having a mobile device server application, the mobile device server configured to being communicatively coupled with the mobile device for exchanging data; and
a command and control system, the system configured to being communicatively coupled with the mobile device server for exchanging the data, the command and control system having a data analysis engine and a system management engine, the data analysis engine configured to derive an operational parameter from the data, the system management engine configured to change the operational behaviour based at least in part on the real time status of the parameter being derived.

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.

20. A method for controlling a guideway, the guideway associated with a passenger or potential passenger, the passenger or potential passenger having a mobile telecommunication device, the mobile telecommunication device having a mobile application, comprising the steps of:
-
receiving data from the mobile application; receiving data from a public source about a upcoming social event; based at least in part on data from the mobile application and data from the public source, predicting future guideway ridership associated with the upcoming social event, comparing future guideway ridership associated with the upcoming social event with a scheduled guideway vehicle configuration or capacity; and changing the scheduled guideway vehicle configuration to a different configuration correlating with the future guideway ridership.
