Efficient urban transportation(s) with IoT devices and robust workers allocation
Επιτομή
During the past few years, the mobile devices and wireless sensors have played an increasingly important role in the evolution of transportations. These devices are able to collect a wide variety of data about a transporter (such as its location, speed, bearing, fuel consumption, vehicle state, etc) and transmit it via the Internet to special processing nodes. Several methods which exploit this data have been proposed in the current relevant literature. The objective of these works is to improve the efficiency and the economical impacts of the transportation systems. In this paper we present Anything, a system designed to facilitate robust and efficient deliveries within the geographical boundaries of a city. We show that by designing a special centralized system which communicates with numerous transporters equipped with online IoT devices, and by employing an effective job assignment algorithm, we are able to achieve fast urban transportations of sensitive packages within a time frame of approximately one hour. © 2018 TEI OF WESTERN MACEDONIA.
