Diseño de una red de comunicaciones utilizando tecnología IOT, para monitorear la operación del transporte urbano en la ciudad de Tena.

Abstract

The current technical project details a communications network design using IoT technology to monitor urban transport operations in Tena city. There are four blocks in the development methodology: the data collection block where the information from the sensors installed in the prototype was obtained: the GPS sensor to measure the alcohol level in drivers and a body temperature sensor. The communications block is responsible for establishing communication from the system sensors to a web server hosted in the cloud. This task was carried out using a wireless router that provides access to the intemet through the mobile phone network. The information processing and monitoring block is responsible for sending the data obtained from the data collection block to the database with the HTTP protocol. Finally, the corresponding notifications are received in a mobile application compatible with smartphones through the MQTT protocol, and the positioning records can also be observed in real-time by using the alert and monitoring block. The monitoring system tests were carried out in an urban transport unit line 3 in Tena city. This system made it possible to determine compliance with the urban transport operating time. The results showed that the transport units meet the established operating time only in 80% of the entire route. lt is recommended to carry out a previous analysis to determine 3G and 4G technology coverage along the route for the system's correct performance.
