Monitoring and Control of Cyberphysical Systems: An Internet of Things Application

This article presents the design of a multipurpose system for sending and receiving information remotely (long range) using General Packet Radio Service (GPRS) technology. The system is composed of a device connected to different sensors and actuators, and a low-cost web platform for viewing information and controlling actuators. As an application example, a real-time vehicle monitoring system is shown.
