Abstract
The recent advances in sensing and communication
technologies pave the way for interfacing cars with smartphones
to offer value-added services to users on the road. Kinematics,
automotive diagnostics, passengers load, and pollution data can
be provided by vehicles, augmented with external sensors, to
make the road transport greener and smarter.
With the purpose of supporting and improving data collection
and distribution, by boosting user participation, in this work a
smartphone-based platform is demonstrated that exploits cheap
dedicated hardware to interact with sensors on board and in the
vehicle’s surroundings and opportunistically leverages available
wireless connectivity to remotely transmit collected data.
