An IEEE 1451 Vehicular Sensor Network Development

Abstract

The mobility platform proposed is based on e-bikes and a set of charging stations, spread all over the city, that use the sun's energy to charge the batteries of e-bikes. At the same time, the mobility of e-bikes is used to collect environmental parameters related to air quality. The user's mobile phone is used to connect the e-bike to the traceability and data collection system. The merge of technologies such as IoT and Sensor Networks (SN) in vehicles have originated the concept of Vehicular SN (VSN). To promote the acceptance and implementation of standardized SNs, the objective of the present work is to present a VSN compliant with the IEEE 1451 family of standards. It is presented the overall architecture of the VSN and is it described the implementation of services, methods and group of transducers to achieve the expected smartness of a VSN. Also, will be underlined how all VSN components interoperate as well as what operations should be done by which component in order to reduce energy
