Abstract

In this work, we describe an urban Internet of Things (IoT) architecture, grounded in big data patterns and focused on the needs of cities and their key stakeholders. First, the architecture of the dedicated platform USE4IoT (Urban Service Environment for the Internet of Things), which gathers and processes urban big data and extends the Lambda architecture, is proposed. We describe how the platform was used to make IoT an enabling technology for intelligent transport planning. Moreover, key data processing components vital to provide high-quality IoT data streams in a near-real-time manner are defined. Furthermore, tests showing how the IoT platform described in this study provides a low-latency analytical environment for smart cities are included.
