由于信息和通信技术的进步，智慧城市已成为一个越来越有吸引力的愿景。在智慧城市的研究、开发和实施中，一个不可或缺的基础就是城市感知技术。汽车传感是一种新型的城市传感技术，它将传感器安装在公共汽车、出租车或垃圾车等车辆上，并利用它们的移动性来帮助执行城市传感任务。在本文中，我们提出了Cruisers，一个智能城市的汽车传感平台，基于以下思想：a）垃圾收集车用于托管传感器，B）蜂窝通信网络用于将传感数据传输到服务器，以及c）采用代理服务器将传感数据转换为所需的格式，如采样率，空间间隔或pub/sub协议。为了验证Cruiser的可行性，我们实现了一个真实的系统，该系统由66个定制的传感模块组成，集成了典型的环境和移动传感器，并将其部署到日本中等城市藤泽的垃圾收集车中。性能评估进行调查巡洋舰的可扩展性，数据发布延迟和空间覆盖方面的性能。(C)2018爱思唯尔B.

Due to the advance in information and communication technologies, smart cities have become an increasingly appealing vision. One indispensable basis in the research, development and implementation of smart cities is urban sensing technology. Automotive sensing is a novel urban sensing technology that equips sensors to vehicles, like buses, taxi cabs or garbage trucks and utilizes their mobility to help to conduct urban sensing tasks. In this paper, we present Cruisers, an automotive sensing platform for smart cities, based on the following ideas: a) Garbage collecting trucks are used to host sensors, b) Cellular communication network is used to deliver sensed data to servers, and c) Proxy server(s) are adopted to convert the format of sensed data to required ones, such as sampling rate, spatial interval or pub/sub protocol. To validate the feasibility of Cruisers, we implement a real system that consists of 66 customized sensing modulars integrating typical environmental and mobility sensors and deploy them into the garbage collecting trucks at Fujisawa, a medium-sized city in Japan. Performance evaluation is conducted to investigate the performance of Cruisers in terms of scalability, data publishing delay and spatial coverage. (C) 2018 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
