Air pollution is one of today's most biggest problems, mostly due to greenhouse gas emissions that have increased exponentially since the mid-twentieth century. Today's society is the main culprit due to the emissions caused by the industriaV-manufacturing processes and the different transportation means. In particular, the cities, always affected by traffic congestion and traversed by uncountable vehicles, are crucial points where actuate solutions can mitigate the pollutants generated by the vehicles. The cities, enhanced by the Internet of Things (IoT) advent, are becoming 'Smart' thanks to the data generated by IoT devices. The ubiquitous distribution and the possibility of correlating data from different sources (voluntary shared or freeware) have enabled the crowdsourced initiative to realize applications exploiting these data. In this work, a multilevel IoT/Cloud infrastructure lends itself to offering solutions to citizens to solve daily life problems. The architecture, putting in place means to conceive an exciting application, is investigated through different use cases linked to current cities issues: public mobility, free parking slot detection, and air quality monitoring.

Abstract
Air pollution is one of today's most biggest problems, mostly due to greenhouse gas emissions that have increased exponentially since the mid-twentieth century. Today's society is the main culprit due to the emissions caused by the industriaV-manufacturing processes and the different transportation means. In particular, the cities, always affected by traffic congestion and traversed by uncountable vehicles, are crucial points where actuate solutions can mitigate the pollutants generated by the vehicles. The cities, enhanced by the Internet of Things (IoT) advent, are becoming 'Smart' thanks to the data generated by IoT devices. The ubiquitous distribution and the possibility of correlating data from different sources (voluntary shared or freeware) have enabled the crowdsourced initiative to realize applications exploiting these data. In this work, a multilevel IoT/Cloud infrastructure lends itself to offering solutions to citizens to solve daily life problems. The architecture, putting in place means to conceive an exciting application, is investigated through different use cases linked to current cities issues: public mobility, free parking slot detection, and air quality monitoring.Pubblicazioni consigliate
