“IoT FOR ENVIRONMENTAL VARIABLES IN URBAN AREAS”

:The purpose of the Internet of Things (IoT), is to make permanent and inclusive the access and interaction with a great variety of devices connected to Internet: the network of networks. The Internet of Things has a lot of applications as for example those for household, vigilance, sensor monitoring, actuators, intelligent displays, vehicles, among others. This in turn allows for the potential development of a large number of applications consuming information coming from these connected objects, which in turn are capable to provide new services to the citizens, enterprises and the public administration. The purpose of this research work is the development of an architecture based on the internet of things (IoT) that allows the use of sensors with the capacity to collect information related to environmental variables and additionally permitting the easy integration with any other types of sensors associated with measurements for a smart city environment, with the aim of providing data on which the conditions of the different environments of a smart city can be determined. Using this information as a tool we intend to improve the process in decision making, starting with the improvements in city design to the increase and improvement of commodities for the city inhabitants.
