“…Even though camera-based traffic monitoring systems are already available and deployed in many cities, low-power widespread communication can provide a denser source of information. Traffic monitoring may be realized by using the sensing capabilities and GPS installed on modern vehicles [15], and also adopting a combination of air quality and acoustic sensors along a given road. This information is of great importance for city authorities and citizens: for the former to discipline traffic and to send officers where needed and for the latter to plan in advance the route to reach the office or to better schedule a shopping trip to the city centre.…”

The Internet of Things (IoT) shall be able to incorporate transparently and seamlessly a large number of different and heterogeneous end systems, while providing open access to selected subsets of data for the development of a plethora of digital services. Building a general architecture for the IoT is hence a very complex task, mainly because of the extremely large variety of devices, link layer technologies, and services that may be involved in such a system. In this paper, we focus specifically to an urban IoT system that, while still being quite a broad category, are characterized by their specific application domain. Urban IoTs, in fact, are designed to support the Smart City vision, which aims at exploiting the most advanced communication technologies to support added-value services for the administration of the city and for the citizens. This paper hence provides a comprehensive survey of the enabling technologies, protocols, and architecture for an urban IoT. Furthermore, the paper will present and discuss the technical solutions and best-practice guidelines adopted in the Padova Smart City project, a proof-of-concept deployment of an IoT island in the city of Padova, Italy, performed in collaboration with the city municipality

“…• Traffic monitoring: the ability to monitor traffic congestion and detect traffic incidents in real time is crucial for obtaining safer roads and smoother traffic flows. Such capability may be achieved either with the use of statically deployed cameras or other sensors [23], or using real-time measurements coming from the vehicles themselves [33,25]. • Smart parking: cameras or other sensors [27] may be used to monitor the availability of vacant parking lots in the city, in order to direct drivers along the best path for parking.…”

The Internet of Things (IoT) paradigm is expected to play a key role in the realization of Smart Cities characterized by heterogeneous service and stakeholders. The IoT ecosystem is further characterized by multiple available communication technologies and solutions with distinctive features in terms of network architectures, performance, cost, flexibility and availability. We provide here an overview of the main IoT-based communication technologies which can enable smart services for Smart Cities, further commenting on the main advantages, disadvantages and open challenges involved in applying each technology to the Smart City ecosystem.

“…VSN is a network of mobile sensors equipped on vehicles, such as taxis and buses [3,[7][8][9],which can be used for urban sensing, such as traffic monitoring [10,11]. VSNs facilitate collection of surveillance data over a wider area than the fixed infrastructure [6,12].…”

Towards Effective Bus Lane Monitoring Using Camera Sensors

City administrators need to guarantee bus priority in urban public transportation. Building large-scale dedicated bus lanes is a cost-effective solution but it suffers from illegal utilization of dedicated bus lines by other non-permitted vehicles. In general, two systems can be utilized for bus lane monitoring: road-side system and bus mounted system. Although the former one has the advantage in terms of larger surveillance coverage, the investment cost makes it less feasible because of scalability issue. In this paper, we focus on bus mounted system to improve surveillance coverage without additional infrastructure cost. We introduce DoubleChecking, a cooperative violator identification scheme that can accurately pick out those non-permitted vehicles or violators. DoubleChecking is designed to improve the surveillance coverage of bus mounted system by using communications/cooperation between mounted camera sensors and existing camera sensors around intersections. Through theoretical analysis and simulation results, we show that DoubleChecking yields good performance for violator identification.
