Smart Mobility

10.
• Distributed public transportation monitoring system
• Key concepts
• Mobile crowd sensing
• Uses common smart phones as a sensors instead of expensive dedicated
infrastructures
• Context awareness
• Uses Bluetooth-based beacons for the detection of buses and stations near to
the user
• Main goals
• Public transportation monitoring and optimization
• i.e. detect under- and over-used bus lines to improve
services and reduce costs
• Support for users’ travel planning
• i.e. obtain information about current position of
buses, average travel times, and estimated times of
arrival

Hardware – Arduino
Uno R3, RFID Card
Reader, Display,
keypad, buzzer,
laptop PC.
Software – Arduino
Card Reader
software, Arduino
serial/java interface,
java implementation
of the ACoS
subsystem logic.
In order to be compliant with the UML model, the Arduino platform have been wrapped
to communicate with the system through the interfaces designed in the models.
Each component talks to others among Socket Interfaces.
