随着人们对智慧城市的兴趣日益浓厚，以及在公共场所部署越来越多的智能物体，如垃圾箱、交通信号灯和检修孔，这些设备需要无处不在的连接来传输数据和接收配置。机会主义WiFi连接是需要昂贵部署的LoRa等临时解决方案和通过昂贵且耗电的移动的网络进行通信的有效替代方案。在本文中，我们提出了一个工具来分析家庭接入点（AP）在城市街道上的WiFi覆盖。ISP或其他希望提供与部署在城市周围的物联网智能对象的连接的提供商可能会对此感兴趣。我们描述了一种收集城市周围的WiFi措施的方法（通过利用众包）和一个开源的可视化和分析Web应用程序来探索积累的数据。更重要的是，该框架可以利用OpenStreetMap数据中包含的语义信息来提取有关城市中AP部署的进一步信息，例如，我们研究了城市内每平方公里AP密度与WiFi街道覆盖率之间的关系。
The growing interest on smart cities and the deployment of an ever increasing number of smart objects in public locations, such as dumpsters, traffic lights, and manholes, requires ubiquitous connectivity for these devices to communicate data and to receive configurations. Opportunistic WiFi connectivity is a valid alternative both to ad hoc solutions, like LoRa, which require costly deployments, and to communicating through the mobile network, which is both pricey and battery power hungry. In this paper we present a tool to analyze the WiFi coverage of home Access Points (AP) on the city streets. It can be of interest to ISP or other providers which want to offer connectivity to Internet of Things smart objects deployed around the city. We describe a method for gathering WiFi measures around the city (by leveraging crowdsourcing) and an open source visualization and analysis web application to explore the accumulated data. More importantly, this framework can leverage the semantic information contained in OpenStreetMap data to extract further knowledge about the AP deployment in the city, for example we investigate the relationship between the AP density per square kilometer within the city and the WiFi street coverage ratio.
