Abstract

City-scale sensing holds the promise of enabling a deeper understanding of our urban environments. However, a city-scale deployment requires physical installation, power management, and communications all challenging tasks standing between a good idea and a realized one. This indicates the need for a platform that enables easy deployment and experimentation for applications operating at city scale. To address these challenges, we present Signpost, a modular, energy-harvesting platform for city-scale sensing. Signpost simplifies deployment by eliminating the need for connection to wired infrastructure and instead harvesting energy from an integrated solar panel. The platform furnishes the key resources necessary to support multiple, pluggable sensor modules while providing fair, safe, and reliable sharing in the face of dynamic energy constraints. We deploy Signpost with several sensor modules, showing the viability of an energy-harvesting, multi-tenant, sensing system, and evaluate its ability to support sensing applications. We believe Signpost reduces the difficulty inherent in city-scale deployments, enables new experimentation, and provides improved insights into urban health.
城市尺度传感路标平台
城市规模的传感有望使我们对城市环境有更深入的了解。然而,城市规模的部署需要物理安装、电源管理和通信,这些都是介于好想法和实现之间的具有挑战性的任务。这表明需要一个平台,使在城市规模上运行的应用程序能够轻松部署和实验。为了应对这些挑战,我们提出了Signpost,一个模块化的能量收集平台,用于城市规模的传感。通过消除连接有线基础设施的需要,Signpost简化了部署,而是从集成的太阳能电池板中收集能量。该平台提供了支持多个可插拔传感器模块所需的关键资源,同时在面对动态能源约束时提供公平、安全和可靠的共享。我们在Signpost上部署了多个传感器模块,展示了能量收集、多租户传感系统的可行性,并评估了其支持传感应用的能力。我们相信,Signpost减少了城市规模部署的固有困难,实现了新的实验,并为城市健康提供了更好的见解。
