Today’s information age would have felt like out of a sci-fi movie to someone 20 years ago. More data has been created in the past two years than in the entire previous history of the human race. 1.7MB of data is created for every human per second. Within 4 years, we will have generated [...]
Today, most smart cities and intelligent transport systems are implemented in a very centralized way: Sensors send their data to a central control center, where all data is processed at in the same place and control signals, for example for traffic signs are generated. This very centralized approach is not efficient and does not scale [...]
