Empowering Smart Mobility with a Component-based Data Acquisition System for Multi-sensor Readout

This work presents a component-based data acqui-sition system for reading multi-sensor modules in the context of active mobility and light vehicles. Leveraging technologies coming from electric mobility in a light vehicle scenario means dealing with low power requirements and limited computational resources. To collect data simultaneously from different sensor platforms, an ad-hoc multi-process application has been developed for a single-board computer. This data acquisition module supports multi-protocol communication interfaces and it can aggregate data about the environment, the status of the vehicle and the user. Moreover, it can support the integration with an IoT communication infrastructure. A prototype of the system has been implemented to prove the feasibility of the architecture.
