Abstract:
In this paper, we present SmartMobility, an application for multimobility information services in a smart city, exploiting an ecosystem of IoT devices. Such application, designed for a real case study, is extremely heterogeneous in terms of IoT devices and implements a wide range of services for citizens. The application aims at contributing to reducing traffic generated by private vehicles in the city besides helping drivers going towards high traffic areas by presenting real-time mobility data from different sources. The experiments carried out in this study have evaluated some behaviors of the application in front of different configurations, allowing understanding how the experience varies under a wide number of devices and services, particularly in terms of mobility alternatives offered to the final user. The research findings showed that the bus transportation service is the most common one, while carsharing and bikesharing are not widespread and must be improved.
