A fleet management service for smart cities: The S2-move project

This paper proposes a novel Fleet Management service, suitable for mobility improvement in modern cities. The proposed solution is based on the idea of monitoring and control the vehicles motion in urban environments, aiming to improve road safety, fuel consumption and environmental impact. Vehicles can process real-time data and observe the overall environment through an On-Board Unit (hereafter simply OBU), a smart embedded system installed on the vehicle, and Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V) technology for inter-vehicles communication. A map-based interface provides the Fleet Management service to the driver and several experiments conducted in real traffic conditions confirm the effectiveness of the proposed solution.
