| Abstract |
This work presents the concept and methodology as well as the architecture and physical implementation of an integrated node for smart-city applications. The presented integrated node lies on active RFID technology whereas the use case illustrated, with results from a small-scale verification of the presented node, refers to common-type waste-bins. The sensing units deployed for the use case are ultrasonic sensors that provide ranging information which is translated to fill-level estimations; however the use of a versatile active RFID tag within the node is able to afford multiple sensors for a variety of smart-city applications. The most important benefits of the presented node are power minimization, utilization of low-cost components and accurate fill-level estimation with a tiny data-load fingerprint, regarding the specific use case on waste-bins, whereas the node has to be deployed on public means of transportation or similar standard route vehicles within an urban or suburban context. |
