A demonstration of the NITOS BikesNet framework

Abstract

In this paper we present NITOS Bikes Net, a framework for mobile sensing in a city-wide environment offering experimentation capabilities. More Specifically, we present a custom-made and modular prototype device that can be easily mounted on volunteers' bicycles dedicated to collecting environmental measurements and available WiFi networks. In addition, we present our enhancements in OMF framework through which we remotely control the operation of the developed devices, whenever they experience back-end connection. Finally, we analyze an indicative demonstration experiment which illustrates the capabilities of the developed framework. © 2014 IEEE.
