　View Summary

Automotive sensing is a novel and appealing sensing technology in which sensors are installed into vehicles to utilize vehicles' mobility to conduct urban sensing in smart cities. The coverage performance is a major metric to characterizing the quality-of-service of sensing systems. Despite of the coverage metrics studied in static sensor networks that consist of only spatial dimension, the lack of a proper metric to characterizing the spatio-temporal coverage of automotive sensing systems is stunting the research, development and commercialization of such mobile sensing systems. To address this issue, we propose, for the first time to the best of our knowledge, a spatio-temporal coverage metric for automotive sensing. The proposed metric characterizes the coverage in both spatial and temporal dimensions in order to provide a guideline for smart cities application developers to evaluate the quality-of-service that can be expected from an automotive sensing system. Evaluation based on an automotive sensing system implemented in Fujisawa City, Japan is conducted to demonstrate the usage of this metric in a realistic scenario.

© 2018 Elsevier B.V. Due to the advance in information and communication technologies, smart cities have become an increasingly appealing vision. One indispensable basis in the research, development and implementation of smart cities is urban sensing technology. Automotive sensing is a novel urban sensing technology that equips sensors to vehicles, like buses, taxi cabs or garbage trucks and utilizes their mobility to help to conduct urban sensing tasks. In this paper, we present Cruisers, an automotive sensing platform for smart cities, based on the following ideas: a) Garbage collecting trucks are used to host sensors, b) Cellular communication network is used to deliver sensed data to servers, and c) Proxy server(s) are adopted to convert the format of sensed data to required ones, such as sampling rate, spatial interval or pub/sub protocol. To validate the feasibility of Cruisers, we implement a real system that consists of 66 customized sensing modulars integrating typical environmental and mobility sensors and deploy them into the garbage collecting trucks at Fujisawa, a medium-sized city in Japan. Performance evaluation is conducted to investigate the performance of Cruisers in terms of scalability, data publishing delay and spatial coverage.
