Approach for a Congestion Charges System supported on Internet of Things

This paper describes an approach for a congestion charge system architecture based on a model of Internet of Things. This proposal is made in order to address the problems caused by the growth of traffic congestion on road infrastructure that supports a city. The vision of the architecture is the divided in two components: the vehicular detection component and the processing and analysis component. The first of these is related to the network of distributed and autonomous hardware used to monitor and detect vehicles that enter to a cost congestion area. The second component is responsible for the logical operations business of the system. The document shows advantages of the model of Internet of Things for a Congestion Charges System and other associated challenges.
