Early results from the Array of Things
Abstract
The Array of Things (AoT) is an experimental sensor and edge-computing network being deployed in the City of Chicago. An AoT node contains sensors for temperature, pressure, humidty and several trace gases as well as 4-core CPU and full Linux operating system. Custom software called "Waggle" controls the hardware and provides the data collection and transmission services. Each node is attached to a traffic signal light and has power 24/7. Data is sent over the cellular network in near realtime. With Chicago's Department of Transportation, we have been making test deployments of AoT nodes, evaluating their capabilities and comparing collected data with that from other observing systems in the Chicago area.
