IoT applications for the smart beach environment
| Resumo: | Smart city applications are growing in quantity and quality every day as the technology that drives it improves exponentially. The means to create Smart city environments are getting easier to incorporate in applications dedicated to the improvement of the citizen’s quality of life, as well as institutional organizations that have an agglomerate of ideas to expose in real-use applications. The purpose of this dissertation is to showcase examples of a smart city applications with useful services dedicated to the ordinary citizen involved in the beach scenario, with the use of sensor-based data. While implementing usecases with the aid of temperature sensors (vulgarly named weather stations), it is possible to detect a variety of values related to temperature, humidity, pressure, and others. When placed in various locations surrounding the beach, it allows for a data study with more accurate, realistic results of different geographical areas. An analysis of a use-case implementation of a parking space system is also created- this system ultimately enables an ordinary user access to information, available online, regarding the current state of the individual parking spaces located on the streets nearshore of Praia da Barra/Costa Nova (the designated areas where the use case has been tested). Supporting these, a study of small service applications (that still kept up with the beach scenario) that offer information and support to users, was presently regarded and implemented as a vibrant, interesting additional feature. It’s possible to infer from this system’s application, that the information and functionalities exposed have a positive, valuable impact regarding the overall citizen’s quality of life, without discarding the possibility and potential of the system’s growth. The goal is also to allow new organizations and companies to materialize their ideas, much like the ones exposed in this dissertation were. |
