The IoT paradigm holds the promise to revolutionize the way we live and work by means of a wealth of new services, based on seamless interactions between a large amount of heterogeneous devices. After decades of conceptual inception of the IoT, in recent years a large variety of communication technologies has gradually emerged, reflecting a large diversity of application domains and of communication requirements. Such heterogeneity and fragmentation of the connectivity landscape is currently hampering the full realization of the IoT vision, by posing several complex integration challenges. In this context, the advent of 5G cellular systems, with the availability of a connectivity technology which is at once truly ubiquitous, reliable, scalable, and cost-efficient, is considered as a potentially key driver for the yet-to emerge global IoT. In the present paper, we analyze in detail the potential of 5G technologies for the IoT, by considering both the technological and standardization aspects. We review the present-day IoT connectivity landscape, as well as the main 5G enablers for the IoT. Last but not least, we illustrate the massive business shifts that a tight link between IoT and 5G may cause in the operator and vendors ecosystem. [less ▲]

Different research communities varying from telecommunication to traffic engineering are working on problems related to vehicular traffic congestion, intelligent transportation systems, and mobility patterns using information collected from a variety of sensors. To test the solutions, the first step is to use a vehicular traffic simulator with an appropriate scenario in order to reproduce realistic mobility patterns. Many mobility simulators are available, and the choice is usually done based on the size and type of simulation required, but a common problem is to find a realistic traffic scenario. In order to evaluate and compare new communication protocols for vehicular networks, it is necessary to use a wireless network simulator in combination with a vehicular traffic simulator. This additional step introduces further requirements for the scenario. The aim of this work is to provide a scenario able to meet all the common requirements in terms of size, realism and duration, in order to have a common basis for the evaluations. In the interest of building a realistic scenario, we decided to start from a real city with a standard topology common in mid-size European cities, and real information concerning traffic demands and mobility patterns. In this paper we show the process used to build the Luxembourg SUMO Traffic (LuST) Scenario, and present a summary of its characteristics together with an overview of its possible use cases.

Interconnected vehicles are a growing commodity providing remote access to on-board systems for monitoring and controlling the state of the vehicle. Such features are built to facilitate and strengthen the owner’s knowledge about its car but at the same time they impact its safety and security. Vehicles are not ready to be fully connected as various attacks are currently possible against their control systems. In this paper, we analyse possible attack scenarios on a recently released all-electric car and investigate their impact on real life driving scenarios. We leverage our findings to change the behaviour of safety critical components of the vehicle in order to achieve autonomous driving using an Open Vehicle Monitoring System. Furthermore, to demonstrate the potential of our setup, we developed a novel mobile application able to control such vehicle systems remotely through the Internet. We challenge the current state-of-the-art technology in today’s vehicles and provide a vulnerability analysis on modern embedded systems. [less ▲]

The continuous development of new technologies has led to the creation of a wide range of personal devices embedded with an ever increasing number of miniature sensors. With accelerometers and technologies such as Bluetooth and Wi-Fi, today's smartphones have the potential to monitor and record a complete history of their owners' movements as well as the context in which they occur. In this article, we focus on four complementary aspects related to the understanding of human behaviour. First, the use of smartwatches in combination with smartphones in order to detect different activities and associated physiological patterns. Next, the use of a scalable and energy-efficient data structure that can represent the detected signal shapes. Then, the use of a supervised classifier (i.e. Support Vector Machine) in parallel with a quantitative survey involving a dozen participants to achieve a deeper understanding of the influence of each collected metric and its use in detecting user activities and contexts. Finally, the use of novel representations to visualize the activities and social interactions of all the users, allowing the creation of quick and easy-to-understand comparisons.

SWIPE is a platform for sensing, recording and processing human dynamics using smart devices. The idea behind this type of system, which exists for the most part on smartphones, is to consider new metrics from wearables - in our case smartwatches. These new devices, used in parallel with traditional smartphones, provide clear indicators of the activities and movements performed by the users who wear them. They can also sense environmental data and interactions. The SWIPE architecture is structured around two main elements, namely (1) an Android application deployed directly on the devices, allowing them to synchronize and collect data; and (2) a server for storing and processing the data. This publication is intended to communicate on the platform with both the scientific and the industry communities. SWIPE is freely distributed under a MIT license. [less ▲]

In this paper, we describe a road traffic behaviour and mobility case study that was implemented in June 2015 in the congested city of Luxembourg. We explain the development and deployment of the Gamified mobile application Commutastic that offers users incentives to undertake after work activities. With Commutastic we try to persuade users to change their commuting time so as to avoid the evening peak. Furthermore we investigate the behaviour change with focus groups and questionnaires. The preliminary data indicates that behaviour change is possible and that traffic reduction can happen on a bigger scale. [less ▲]

This paper presents a comparative pilot usability study of Dasher and an on-screen keyboard on a head-mounted display. Interaction logging data was captured along with subjective responses (via the SUS questionnaire). The results indicate that there is a strong need to develop text entry systems for smart glasses rather to simply adopt those that are already available. However, both approaches are useful when there is a need to enter private or sensitive data. [less ▲]

The analysis of Call Detail Records has captured the attention of traffic and transportation researchers to optimize people's mobility. In our work, we would like to analyze Call Detail Records in order to extract realistic human mobility models adapted to the Senegal use case. In this paper, we describe our analysis of the available D4D datasets. The first contribution is the modeling of the daily traffic demand profile of each antenna, by considering voice and short message services. The evaluation of mobility models will help to better design and develop future infrastructures in order to better support the actual demand. A classification has been performed into urban, suburban and rural modes. An algorithm has been developed to detect traffic anomalies in 2013, based on the daily profiles. The second contribution corresponds to the generation of inter-antennas and inter-arrondissements mobility graphs for each month of 2013. [less ▲]

In this work we propose a novel Cell Dwell Time Model that can be used to generate a synthetic population. We introduce two new metrics to define the attractivity of cell sites based on global and individual parameters obtained via the analysis of the Data For Development (D4D) Call Detail Records (CDR). We rely on the shortest path road network to interconnect two distant cell sites. The resulting dwell time model can be used to compute accurate user trajectories even with partial information. This work represents a first step towards the generation of a synthetic population that can be used to perform a wide range of simulative studies to evaluate and optimize transportation networks.

Today's smartphones and mobile devices typically embed advanced motion sensors. Due to their increasing market penetration, there is a potential for the development of distributed sensing platforms. In particular, over the last few years there has been an increasing interest in monitoring vehicles and driving data, aiming to identify risky driving maneuvers and to improve driver efficiency. Such a driver profiling system can be useful in fleet management, insurance premium adjustment, fuel consumption optimization or CO2 emission reduction. In this paper, we analyze how smartphone sensors can be used to identify driving maneuvers and propose SenseFleet, a driver profile platform that is able to detect risky driving events independently from the mobile device and vehicle. A fuzzy system is used to compute a score for the different drivers using real-time context information like route topology or weather conditions. To validate our platform, we present an evaluation study considering multiple drivers along a predefined path. The results show that our platform is able to accurately detect risky driving events and provide a representative score for each individual driver. [less ▲]
