The aim of this research work is to design a smart city simulator. The proposed simulator contains the 3D model of several locations of the city with each location equipped with multiple types of virtual sensors node. The virtual sensors mainly include Noise Sensor, Air Pollution, Ultrasonic Sensor, Humidity Sensor, Temperature Sensor and Video Camera. These sensors continuously monitor and collect...
The first step towards making the world of machines move towards intelligence was to impart senses to them. As a result an era of sensors flourished which acquired data necessary for independent intelligent systems that processed them. The idea to connect all things that can probably be connected to internet was suggested and the Internet of Things was born. Hence now these senses or sensors are being...
With technologies developed in the Internet of Things, embedded devices can be built into every fabric of urban environments and connected to each other; and data continuously produced by these devices can be processed, integrated at different levels, and made available in standard formats through open services. The data, obviously f a form of ‘big data', is now seen as the most valuable asset in...
Space utilization are important elements for a smart city to determine how well public space are being utilized. Such information could also provide valuable feedback to the urban developer on what are the factors that impact space utilization. The spatial and temporal information for space utilization can be studied and further analyzed to generate insights about that particular space. In our research...
Machine to Machine (M2M) communication system has started gaining its real world momentum by the introduction of Internet and mobile technology into this system. Several works have come up to use this integrated system into many different vertical solutions and tried to bind one solution platform for many monolithic systems. One recent innovation is to use HTTP REST architecture as communication platform...
This paper presents the field testing of a street lighting monitoring and control system. The system is based on a WSN network of the large-scale type that enables the remote control of street lighting lamps. The system also enables savings in terms of the electric power and maintenance costs. The architecture uses integrated Doppler sensors that allows for vehicle detection and help complete the...
Improving efficiency of city services and facilitating a more sustainable development of cities are the main drivers of the smart city concept. This paper describes a field trial that instantiates a novel architecture exploiting major concepts from the Future Internet (FI) paradigm. The trial has been executed in one of the parks of the city of Santander providing an autonomous public street lighting...
The SmartCity concept is becoming widely accepted and describes the usage of ICT for increased quality of life and also for a sustainable usage of natural resources. This paper describes a system architecture for monitoring of electrical energy consumption, and visualization of usage patterns to raise users' awareness of their energy usage which we field trialled over several months. The information...
Smart City concept and applications domains are taking a prominent position in nowadays innovation trends. Future Internet and ICT in general are considering the Smart City as the key concept for the future technological developments. In particular, Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) and Machine to Machine (M2M) communications are some of the basic enablers for fulfilling the Smart City concept requirements...
Energy conservation or energy management is the buzz word today and it's a real necessity for today's world, in order to maintain high economy growth rate. Smart Meter technology is the first step towards achieving this goal. This paper discusses a novel low-cost Home Energy Information Gateway (HEIG) solution which can provide the Smart Meter display and communication interface through a Set Top...
