Abstract:
Nowadays, there is a lot of devices of varying technologies in the urban environment, which makes the integration of data generated by them a difficult process due to their heterogeneity. However, it is important to manage these data in an integrated way to enable the exchange of information between existing fields and assisting in the decision-making process. Moreover, there is no way to tell how these data will need to be processed since each application may require it to be available obeying specific processes. Thus, this article describes the design and implementation of a platform that aims to integrate, process and make available data streams from heterogeneous sources. It also defines an extensible data processing flow, which makes the creation of new processes for existing data and the inclusion of new types of data easier. Finally, a case study was conducted, which used a parking lot as scenario and assessed extensibility and performance aspects related to platform implementation.
