IoT to Monitor the BRT Bus

Abstract

Technological evolutions at Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) is allowing that ubiquitous society use the ITS facilities to conducting their activities. At this scenario the paper presents a study case in order to use ITS technologies applied to conduct his activities, mainly for bus tracking. The study case presented in this paper uses the concept of IoT (Internet of Things) to make the inspection of trucks; all study case considers the use of existing ITS infrastructure, as well as the deployment of new infrastructure. In order to implement the IoT, the study case use the RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) technologies associated with sensors installed at vehicle in order to identify the vehicle when it pass through a portal and the associated information, if available, as: temperature, average velocity, doors and others relevant information. The advantage of IoT is the ability to identify the vehicles and other information without disrupting the normal flow.
