Abstract:
In this comprehensive study, an in-depth overview of a multi-stage development project is presented, focusing on the creation of a Demonstrative Version of an Interactive Multimedia Bus Shelter as a component of a novel concept in Smart City infrastructure. The project aimed to address various interesting challenges inherent in developing intelligent bus shelters, encompassing aspects like cost constraints, susceptibility to vandalism, power supply stability, and seamless retrofitting into existing infrastructure. Emphasizing a holistic approach, the designed bus shelter showcased high interactivity, low energy demand through environmentally friendly solutions, and superior functionality. The integrated modules encompassed an intelligent LED (Light Emitting Diode) matrix, LTE (Long Term Evolution) gateway, portable device charger, image acquisition camera, environmental sensor eco-monitor, photovoltaic array, among others. Notably, all these elements were orchestrated through artificial intelligence algorithms, highlighting the system's advanced technological foundation. The investigation results provide a roadmap for the implementation of individual solutions, including an efficient power supply system, a secured and high-performance internal and external communication infrastructure, and an AI (Artificial Intelligence)-based human interactive system. The integration of above elements is likely to represent a solution in creating intelligent bus shelters of the future. Shelters that will be technologically advanced but also energy efficient, secure, and responsive to the needs of both passengers and the broader Smart City ecosystem.
