“…Care via monitoring implies a loss of opportunities to develop trust and relational understanding between patient and carer, which traditionally develop via face-to-face care (Coeckelbergh 2013;Laplante and Laplante 2016). H-IoT can create epistemic and social distance between patients and health professionals.…”

“…However, not only should capability constraints be taken into account, but also the characteristics of the use cases in which IoT devices take part. Examples of these use cases are smart cities and homes [17], healthcare applications [18] or smart vehicles [19].…”

access control is a key element when guaranteeing the security of online services. However, devices that make the Internet of Things have some special requirements that foster new approaches to access control mechanisms. Their low computing capabilities impose limitations that make traditional paradigms not directly applicable to sensors and actuators. In this paper, we propose a dynamic, scalable, IoT-ready model that is based on the OAuth 2.0 protocol and that allows the complete delegation of authorization, so that an as a service access control mechanism is provided. Multiple tenants are also supported by means of application-scoped authorization policies, whose roles and permissions are fine-grained enough to provide the desired flexibility of configuration. Besides, OAuth 2.0 ensures interoperability with the rest of the Internet, yet preserving the computing constraints of IoT devices, because its tokens provide all the necessary information to perform authorization. The proposed model has been fully implemented in an open-source solution and also deeply validated in the scope of FIWARE, a European project with thousands of users, the goal of which is to provide a framework for developing smart applications and services for the future Internet. We provide the details of the deployed infrastructure and offer the analysis of a sample smart city setup that takes advantage of the model. We conclude that the proposed solution enables a new access control as a service paradigm that satisfies the special requirements of IoT devices in terms of performance, scalability and interoperability.

“…One of the main reasons for this hype towards the IoT is its supposed applicability to different domains [2], like smart environments [3], smart homes [4], Industry 4.0 [5] or e-health [6]. Nevertheless, there is an application domain of the IoT, i.e., smart cities [7,8], that is presumably standing out from the rest.…”

Smart Pedestrian Crossing Management at Traffic Light Junctions through a Fuzzy-Based Approach

Abstract:In the last few years, numerous research efforts have been conducted to merge the Internet of Things (IoT) with smart city environments. The goal to make a city "smart" is arising as a possible solution to lessen the issues caused by the urban population growth and fast urbanization. Attention also has focused on the pedestrian crossings because they are one of the most dangerous places in the transport field. Information and Communications Technologies (ICT) can undoubtedly be an excellent support in developing infrastructures that can best manage pedestrian crossing. For this reason, this paper introduces a fuzzy logic-based solution able to manage dynamically the traffic lights' phases in signalized pedestrian crossings. The proposed approach provides the possibility to change the phases of the traffic light taking into account the time of the day and the number of pedestrians about to cross the road. The paper presents a thorough description of the fuzzy logic controller configuration, an in-depth analysis of the application scenario and simulative assessments obtained through Vissim simulations.
