Introduction
- A connected vehicle (car) that with the support of 5G, MEC and artificial intelligence technologies is
able to capture information from the surrounding environment and feed a smart city platform with this information which can predict and adopt several actions for the good of people.
- The information retrieved by the car and sent to the platform is collected by three different ways:
- camera: the car is equipped with a camera that sends a video stream to the edge over which is
executed an AI inference algorithm to detect several patterns and generate information packages relevant to the smart city platform
- sensors: the car is equipped with several sensors (temperature, humidity, …) that can create
heat maps with this information to the smart city
- the smart city itself. In regions/areas where the city information sources are isolated (low
power, low signal quality, bad coverage due maintenance, weather conditions, etc), the car can act like a link between the information source and the smart city platform, uploading this information in the next available coverage area crossed by the car in its route.
- Every information contribution to the smart city could be rewarded with points that can be exchanged
with tax discounts, for example, guaranteeing the participation of the people establishing missions with a different degree of value. Every connected car can register on the smart city platform and provide several information about the city and people. Team
