Explore the concept of "Alive Street," where people contribute environmental data via cell phones, forming a sensor network for urban monitoring. Learn about similar projects and the ISS solution for small-scale street monitoring systems. Delve into the architecture, implementation plan, and future concerns of this innovative city monitoring approach.

Interactive Street Sensing as basic deployment of city monitoring system Authors: B. Sc. Stanislava Stanković, School of Electrical Engineering, University of Belgrade B. Sc. Marko Stanković, School of Electrical Engineering, University of Belgrade ProSense special section, TELFOR 2008.
Introduction • Life – getting too fast • People – getting mobile • + • City – getting “alive” • Via • Streets – getting able to offer • information • Fun & useful ProSense special section, TELFOR 2008.
Introduction • New approach tocity monitoring • “Alive street” concept • People take part • in the new system • taking from the environment • as much data as they can get • + • People,by using cell phones, • provide the environment • with information • (spontaneous service payment) ProSense special section, TELFOR 2008.
Similar Projects • SensorScope • This system is composed of multiple sensing stations • which communicate wirelessly, • constituting a sensor network. • The sensing stations measure environmental data • such as air temperature, humidity, surface temperature, • incoming solar radiation, wind speed and direction, • precipitation, soil water content, and soil water suction. • Urban Sensing • CitySense ProSense special section, TELFOR 2008.
ISS Solution • Previous projects develop large-scale • distributed environmental measurement systems • centered on WSNs • ISS app proposes • small-scale system installed in the street • Main approach: • “Problem solving should firstly start • at your own yard!” • In the future (Internet of Things), • street concept moving towards the whole city IoT ProSense special section, TELFOR 2008.
ISS Solution • Street monitoring • Microcontrollers & Sensors • Video tracking (not precisely) • Different parameters: • temperature • humidity • noise • CO2 • CO (“Silent Killer”) ProSense special section, TELFOR 2008.
Architecture Analysis Server component Nodes Internet IEEE 802.15.4 USB Base station Bluetooth Cell phone ProSense special section, TELFOR 2008.
Architecture Analysis • Present architecture: • Street (covered with leaves ) • + • People, walking and carrying cell phones • Improved architecture: • Microcontrollers equipped with sensors • + • Microcontrollers - Bluetooth enabled ProSense special section, TELFOR 2008.
Implementation plan • Java (Squawk VM) • vs. • NesC (TinyOS) • Server app • Sensor Node app • (Sun SPOTs vs. SHIMMER) • Base station app • Mobile phone app ProSense special section, TELFOR 2008.
Future Concern • More effort is necessary • in order to resolve problems • in system implementation • Present problems and solutions (in case of Sun SPOTs): • Node power supplying (limited battery life) • For now, we have in mind to put SPOTs • on fixed power supply, • by using AC-USB adapters, • for solving the limited battery problem. • Different solution is possible in the future. • Number of sensors on a single node • may be increased in the future. • These issues are money dependent. ProSense special section, TELFOR 2008.
Future Concern • Presence - Equipment purchasing phase • Delivery issues • Time issues • HW implies the necessary SW • (Java vs. NesC) ProSense special section, TELFOR 2008.
Conclusion • ISS system • as basic infrastructure • Small scale WSN • Good enhancement capabilities • (on the city level) • Good adaptation capabilities • for indoor monitoring • (houses, hotels, workplaces) ProSense special section, TELFOR 2008.
