SmartSantander Architecture
Architecture for the fixed nodes
Parking sensor node. To be deployed buried in
the asphalt. At the corresponding load/unload
area, bus stop or handicapped-reserved space.
Repeater. To be deployed at available street
lights or traffic lights.
Gateway. Connected to Internet/Intranet.

SmartSantander meets EAR-IT
Upon concrete noise pattern detected by the APU, legacy sensors collect
data for several purposes ⇒ Two use cases as a starting point.

EAR-IT Use Case 1: Emergency Detection
Use the APU to detect an alarm ⇒ Legacy SmartSantander noise sensors
to get the direction of such an event (police car, ambulance,…).

EAR-IT Use Case 2 : Traffic Monitoring
Use the APU to measure the traffic density and correlating it with pollution
values (NO2, CO,…) collected by legacy fixed and mobile nodes in the area.
