Abstract

The project “TETRis—TETRA Innovative Open Source Services” has delivered a technological infrastructure for enabling innovative services for Smart City/Smart Territory. This paper describes the software tools and intelligent platforms for collecting, representing, managing and exploiting data and information gathered from sensors and devices deployed in the territory. Tools and platforms are integrated into a complex smart environment that provides advanced services to citizen and operators for environmental monitoring, urban mobility and emergency management. Although the project is mainly based on the utilization of the communication protocol TETRA, the application scenarios may work with other network protocols as well.
