RASTSC-19: Recent Advances in Sensing Technologies for Smart Cities
There will be an urban environment that is permanently communicating with the citizens and capable of managing public services in real time to improve their quality of life through traffic management, garbage collection, waste disposal, irrigation systems, assisted parking, alerting the local authority when an incident occurs and allowing the government to stay in touch with the people. A smart city can create an efficient and smart services delivery platform for public and municipal workers by installing sensors in the city and to create platforms that allow the share of information and give it for proper use to the public, city managers, businesses and professionals. The platform can have a common data warehouse where different sensor system stores its information.
Sensing is at the heart of smart infrastructures, which can monitor themselves and act on their own intelligently. Using sensors to monitor public infrastructures, such as bridges, roads, and buildings, provides awareness that enables more efficient use of resources, based on the data collected by these sensors. Real-time monitoring eliminates the need for regularly scheduled inspections, therefore reducing costs; measuring energy consumption in households allows for accurate load forecasting, and sensors deployed in roads for traffic monitoring collect data which is necessary for the implementation of intelligent transportation systems (ITS). For these approaches to be effective, sensors have to be deployed in very large numbers, and they have to be interconnected so that the collected data can be sent to a central information system, where intelligent decisions based on this data can be made. This poses several challenges on the design of sensing technologies in real time. Firstly, there needs to be a communication infrastructure in place for these sensors to communicate with each other. Secondly, most efficient way to aggregate and process this data.
In this book, we intend to offer solutions to different problems that exist in the area. This book includes original contributions on new methods and approaches to develop the next general of sensors, from both a hardware and software perspective. In addition, it also contributes some novel uses of new sensing technologies, such as body-worn devices (those attached to people’s clothing), smart tracking devices, the latest trends/work of sensors, and to highlight the enormous intellectual and commercial potentials for this space to general audiences and the scientific community at large.
