Project description
Using city buses to enhance connectivity
Installing self-secured Intelligent Gateways (IGWs) inside public transport vehicles will enable mobile content delivery and interacting with different sensors distributed city wide as the vehicles move around. They will create a dynamic IGWs network able to gather sensor data securely, process and forward them to the central main control center. This is the goal of the EU-funded SCENE project, which is working at the intersection of mobile edge computing and the Internet of Things (IoT). The project developed a secure open platform that Smart City Service Providers can connect with, by using standard interface protocols, for receiving and processing data from owned sensors. By using the public transport network, municipalities will achieve complete coverage with less investment in infrastructure.
