Description
The aim of this paper is to provide an overview of the state-of-the-art in LPWAN, with a focus on intelligent transportation. IoT and LPWAN technologies appear as very promising for cost-effective remote surveillance, monitoring and control over large geographical areas, by collecting data for several sensing applications (e.g., predictive condition-based maintenance, security early warning and situation awareness, etc.) even in situations where power supply is limited (e.g., solar panels) or absent (e.g., installation on-board freight cars).
