The management of the nodes’ batteries is one of the most innovative research element. The nodes are “switched off” and they “switch on” when they have a vehicle within their fieldof action inwhich they can transferdata, then theydo so andreturn to the conservation state.
The project ends with the pilot test of the system, which involves the deployment of three different types of sensors. Each of the types, responsible for various functions, offer different services:
- Environmental information sensors: these sensors are designed to meet the need of monitoring different environmental parameters, due to the current pollution levels of the cities and its consequences. There will be temperature, humidity, noise and air pollution sensors.
- Urban incidents sensors: cities are composed of a wide range of equipments such as lights, traffic lights, payment machines, etc. which need a routine and periodical inspection in order to check its proper functioning. The sensors network deployed in the public lighting will enable this task in a remote way, and will control the consumption level and its luminosity.
- Parking sensors: sensors pilot test in order to detect stadistically which area of the city is more likely to have a parking place.
- Sewage sensors: sensors pilot test in order to control the level of the sewerage occupation of cities, with the objective of anticipatingfloods or otherrelated incidences.
