But… WHERE are the Things…

in the Internet of Things?

Static and Dynamic things Physical and Virtual things

All physical objects, and

the data streams they create, have a three-dimensional position,

dimension, and orientation in space and time, and

spatial relationships exist between them

Zones (Geofences)

• Things have a relation with their environment

• The environment can be devided into zones

• Zones are also called geofences in LBS

• Geofences can be used to initiate actions

• Silence zones

• School zone

• Groundwater protection zone

• Environmental

• Road construction zone

• Party zone

• Area prohibition or House arrest

• Parking fee zone

• Surveillance zone

• Risk zones

• “Lights on” zone

Thing “Zones” (static or moving)

Dynamic Zones… (rain alerts)

T=16:00 T=17:00 T=18:00 T=19:00

T=20:00 T=21:00 T=22:00 T=23:00

Business Opportunities

By applying spatial

relationships, functions, and models to the spatial

characteristics of (smart) objects and events, the flows and

behaviour of objects and people in smart cities can be more efficiently monitored and

orchestrated

Pilot Sensor Web en IoT

• Begin 2014 • Organisatie Geonovum (www.geonovum.nl) • Kenmerken

– Open Platform (sponsors + overige geïnteresseerden) – Via samenwerking, kennisuitwisseling en afspraken werken

aan gemeenschappelijk doel; om sensor en IoT toepassingen verder te brengen

– Lange-termijn doel creëren van community, die ambitie heeft om sensor en IoT toepassingen verder te brengen
