Abstract: Techniques are described herein for improving road safety use cases in a vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communication environment. The techniques include assigning of a plurality of calculated/precalculated geofencing areas on a projected path of a responding emergency vehicle. With the assigned geofencing areas, a remote management network such as a V2X communications server may identify the V2X components (user equipment, traffic lights, vehicle embedded devices, etc.) and send notifications to the identified V2X components in each assigned geofencing area and at different timing periods. The identification of the V2X components and the sending of the notifications at different timing periods improve the traffic awareness between the V2X components in the V2X communication environment.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method includes receiving, at a mobile device, geographical coordinates defining one or more alert areas associated with a wireless emergency alert over a wireless communication network, and comparing, at the mobile device, the current location of the mobile device with the received coordinates to determine if the mobile device is within the alert area(s). If the mobile device is within the alert area(s), the method further comprises applying a mapping application or other application on the mobile device to construct a map of the alert area(s) based on the coordinates, determine the location of the mobile device with respect the alert area(s), and display the map indicating the location of the mobile device with respect to the alert area(s) at a display interface of the mobile device.

Abstract: Techniques are described herein for securely managing and tracking UAV flight paths. The techniques include receiving a flight plan from an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). The UAV comprises a memory unit for storing a key associated with the UAV. The key enables the UAV to add one or more blocks on a blockchain distributed ledger, wherein the flight plan comprises one or more legs of a flight path. The techniques further include receiving, from the UAV, a block indicating that the UAV completed at least one leg of the flight path. The block can include a hash associated with the at least one leg of the flight path. The block is validated based at least on the hash associated with the at least one leg of the flight path and if the block is validated, a success notification is transmitted to the UAV to continue executing the flight plan.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method includes receiving, at a mobile device, geographical coordinates defining one or more alert areas associated with a wireless emergency alert over a wireless communication network, and comparing, at the mobile device, the current location of the mobile device with the received coordinates to determine if the mobile device is within the alert area(s). If the mobile device is within the alert area(s), the method further comprises applying a mapping application or other application on the mobile device to construct a map of the alert area(s) based on the coordinates, determine the location of the mobile device with respect the alert area(s), and display the map indicating the location of the mobile device with respect to the alert area(s) at a display interface of the mobile device.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method of receiving and processing a wireless emergency alert at a vehicle comprises receiving, at a computer system of the vehicle, the wireless emergency alert over a wireless communication network. The wireless emergency alert may include an alert message and geographical coordinates defining one or more alert areas associated with the emergency alert. The method may further include comparing, via the vehicle computer system, a current location of the vehicle with the geographical coordinates to determine whether the vehicle is within or near the alert area(s) and, if the vehicle is within or near the alert area(s), generating via the computer system a map illustrating the current location of the vehicle with respect to the alert area(s), and displaying the map at a display screen of the vehicle.
