Tiivistelmä
Internet of Things is a rapidly growing trend in the technology sector. Its working principle is to interconnect devices collecting data from our surroundings, such as sensors, storing large amounts of data, analyse the data and making better and more accurate decisions based on gathered data.
IoT can become to play a crucial role in the energy and transport sector that strive towards increasing sustainability through effective use of resources. As the technology required decreases in cost, it becomes more beneficial to monitor and interconnect more devices, leading to a better data of whole ecosystems, such as a power plant supply chain.
This thesis describes some IoT applications for the energy and traffic industry, introduces a reference model for planning IoT applications and analyses four case studies based on the reference model in order to determine whether the proposed model could be suitable for planning IoT applications.
The mentioned case studies were conducted by a project collaboration between Åbo Akademi university and Novia University of Applied Sciences and discovered possible IoT implementations for a remote-area exhibition centre, a detached house, a housing with several apartments and energy consumption in traffic. Each case study is analysed separately and recommendations for further development are given.
