Geography can be considered an important binding principle in Internet of Things (IoT) use- and business cases. This is because all physical objects -and the events they create- have a three-dimensional position, dimension, and orientation in space and time, and spatial relationships exist between them. As IT and Geo-IT technology is progressing fast, system integration of spatial technology in the IoT can be realized and should be considered. Applying spatial relationships, functions, and models to the IoT creates new business opportunities to improve the management of smart objects and smart people in smart cities
The application of geospatial concepts and technology to the Internet of Things - Added value and business opportunities
1. The application of geospatial
concepts and technology to the
Internet of Things
Added value and business
opportunities
ISN Conference – Break out session Mobility
Erik van der Zee – 12 november 2013
11. All physical objects, and
the data streams they
create, have a threedimensional position,
dimension, and orientation
in space and time, and
spatial relationships exist
between them

Things have a relation with their environment
The environment can be devided into zones
Zones are also called geofences in LBS
Geofences can be used to initiate actions

50. By applying spatial
relationships, functions, and
models to the spatial
characteristics of (smart) objects
and events, the flows and
behaviour of objects and people
in smart cities can be more
efficiently monitored and
orchestrated
65. Pilot Sensor Web en IoT
• Begin 2014
• Organisatie Geonovum (www.geonovum.nl)
• Kenmerken
– Open Platform (sponsors + overige geïnteresseerden)
– Via samenwerking, kennisuitwisseling en afspraken werken
aan gemeenschappelijk doel; om sensor en IoT
toepassingen verder te brengen
– Lange-termijn doel creëren van community, die ambitie
heeft om sensor en IoT toepassingen verder te brengen
