NOOP: An IoMT System for Notifying Public Security Issues and Increasing Police Patrol Coverage

摘要

Although public security is still one of the major problems in most large cities, uninterrupted overt patrolling and rapid police intervention have been identified as effective mechanisms to combat street theft and crime. However, several police departments do not have access to technologies for reliable data communication and workforce management to be notified about occurrences and effectively respond to them. This paper presents the design and evaluation of NeighborhOOd Patrolling (NOOP), an open-source Internet of Mobile Things system for notifying public security issues and increasing police patrol coverage. This tool is being used as an initial version for the “Segurança Presente 5.0” overt patrolling initiative in the city of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
