Internet of Things (IoT) in Environmental Management of Smart Cities: Presentation of the Smart Harpia Project as a Case Study
Keywords:
Internet of Things (IoT), Smart cities, Real-time monitoring, Environmental management, Socioeconomic developmentAbstract
The article discusses the growing role of the Internet of Things (IoT) in promoting smart cities and effectively monitoring public spaces. The primary focus is on the need to collect accurate and real-time data on the flow of people in public areas to enhance informed decision-making and the efficient allocation of resources. The Smart Harpia project is presented as a case study proposing an innovative solution to this challenge. Smart Harpia has developed an IoT device equipped with sensors capable of detecting mobile devices with active Wi-Fi. These sensors capture data exchanged with the network created by the device in promiscuous mode and then transmit this data to a central database. This information is made available in real-time through a web interface, enabling analysis and predictions of people's flow in specific locations. The results of the Smart Harpia project demonstrate that IoT-based monitoring is highly effective in environmental management, identifying busy areas, and optimizing the allocation of public resources. Beyond improving operational efficiency, this monitoring enhances user experience and public space security. Furthermore, it highlights the potential of IoT in driving socioeconomic development by providing valuable data to businesses and advertisers regarding urban mobility patterns, thus making resource management more effective in cities.
