CityView: A Vehicle Based Image and Data Collection for Smart Cities
The development of innovative applications for smart cities has been made possible by the rise of Internet of Things. The situational viewing and surveillance in cities is one such category of applications which can benefit from various networking solutions available to transport images or data from installed sensor cameras. In this paper, we propose and evaluate a citywide image and data collection service based on Vehicular Delay Tolerant Networks (VDTN) and a simple hierarchical routing mechanism named Data Collection for Low Energy Devices (DC4LED) We study the networking performance in terms of increasing image sizes that can be transported with respect to varying vehicular density in city. We focus mainly on two technologies for sensors to vehicles communications: ZigBee and ITS G5.
