MUV-Bee: Using WSN to monitoring urban vehicles

The number of urban vehicles has increased in the past years causing innumerous problems such as traffic jams, accidents and pollution. One of the main solutions for this problem is to improve the quality of public transportation by making it more reliable, secure and efficient. In this paper, it is proposed a system for monitoring urban vehicles based on ZigBee technology, called MUV-Bee. Such system uses wireless communication to integrate the main server to public transportation buses and bus stops. Its several services provided to society allow a better quality of public transportation which make them more attractive.
