Unleashing the potential of the Internet of Things 3

The advantage of this method is the potentially high-reliability of reference sensors, independent
from the IoT devices. Hence, the malfunctions of IoT devices are identified with high accuracy.
The disadvantages of this method are the cost and complexity of deploying autonomous sensor
networks and the possible failures of the reference sensors during disaster.

I.3.2 Intelligent monitoring
Intelligent monitoring concerns the collection of device information and sensor readings obtained
from the IoT devices under the Centre's jurisdiction, and the mathematical analysis of this
information. This includes, but is not limited to, the methods of statistical analysis and correlation
signal processing.

Intelligent monitoring allows the identification of out of order IoT devices or their sensors within a
group of similar devices.
The advantage of this method is complete independence from external parameters of the
environment, allowing operation in every situation during disaster.
The disadvantage of this method is the need to have a group of similar IoT devices for more reliable
determination of malfunctions.

I.4 Use of the stored data

The Centre implements monitoring, recording and storing of device information and sensor
readings obtained from the IoT devices under its jurisdiction, including those obtained immediately
before and during disaster.

This functionality allows the Centre to operate as a "black box" in emergencies. The Centre is
assumed to help identify the causes of emergencies, in a similar way to what is done by the black
box in aircraft.

Historical data collected in the Centre's data store may be used to improve the methods of
intelligent monitoring and to develop IoT device management and control methods under the threat
of disaster or during disaster in order to achieve the greatest possible evacuation of people, safely
from the disaster area.
