Wireless Sensor Networks for Urban Information Systems: Preliminary Results of Integration of an Electric Vehicle as a Mobile Node

Abstract

This paper addresses preliminary results of integration of a mobile node in a wireless sensor network for an urban information system. The proposed mobile node has been designed with a modular and scalable architecture that allows changing the set of sensors in short time. An implementation of the mobile node, including sensors for gas concentrations and environmental parameters, has been installed on an electric vehicle and tested in real scenarios in the city of Malaga.
