Abstract EN
Systems trying to solve mobility issues in cities, such as high levels of accidents and traffic congestion, have been developed worldwide.
Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) services focused on urban public transport are an option contributing to solve such issues.
A few intermediate cities in the Latin American context have developed some of these ITS services, which are mainly based on a tracking system for public transport vehicles.
Such tracking systems have great limitations in terms of coverage, availability, and operational cost.
In addition, they are commonly isolated mobility solutions, which cannot be easily integrated with other mobility services in the city because they are not based on an ITS architecture.
In order to improve public transportation systems in intermediate cities, we proposed the development of an IoT-based public vehicle tracking system, using LoRa (Long Range) and ITS services.
In this research, we developed the proposed system as a proof of concept.
We designed and executed some experiments, in order to adjust parameters of the LoRa technology and to test its operation.
This article presents the methods we followed for developing the proof-of-concept model, a description of the experiments, and their results.
The results lead to conclude that the LoRa technology and an IoT-based system are adequate for implementation of a mobility service such as the one we propose, once important technical restrictions related mainly to Line of Sight (LoS) are considered.
Key aspects for implementation were also identified for deploying the service (as a prototype) in the city of Popayán.
