Abstract
Internet of Things has been presenting new solutions for the benefit of the human being. However the focus goes towards the thing, leaving aside people as an active and participative element. Literature shows that a new paradigm, entitled as Internet of People, is now emerging. Our envisage of such paradigm consists in a dynamic global network where things and people understand each other, being crucial for problems where the human being is a central part, such as in the Vulnerable Road Users (VRUs) problem. One’s intention is to clarify its meaning and postulate essential properties that will help enabling the Internet of People. Based on such assumptions, we propose a high-level architecture which is then applied in the conception of a Multi-agent System on the specific context of the VRUs problem.
