Cover Story: We here present the technologies related to and the theoretical background of an intelligent interconnected infrastructure for public security and safety. The framework’s innovation lies in the intelligent combination of devices and human information oriented towards human and situational awareness in order to provide a protected and secure environment for citizens. The framework is currently being used to support visitors in public spaces and events by creating the appropriate infrastructure to address a set of urgent situations that may arise, including health-related problems and missing children in overcrowded environments. It works to support smart links between humans and entities in order to achieve goals and to adapt device operation to comply with human objectives, profiles, and privacy. View this paper.
