5G MOBILE DEVICE BASED REGIONAL PATROLLING OVER HIGHWAYS

Abstract:

In an approach to 5G mobile device based regional patrolling over highways, a fifth generation (5G) mobile ad-hoc network is enabled based on data received from checkpoints. A 5G traffic channel is connected between the 5G mobile ad-hoc network and a virtual network function (VNF). Responsive to detecting that a vehicle containing a 5G UE device is in the ad-hoc network, a 5G traffic channel is connected between the UE device in the vehicle and the VNF. Responsive to receiving location information from the UE device in the vehicle, the location trajectory for the vehicle is determined. Responsive to determining that the location trajectory for the vehicle is improbable, a signal is sent to a patrol manager, where the signal includes a last received location for the vehicle.
