Abstract

"Various urban planning and managing activities required by a Smart City are feasible because of traffic monitoring. As such, the thesis proposes a network tomography-based approach that can be applied to road networks to achieve a cost-efficient, flexible, and scalable monitor deployment. Due to the algebraic approach of network tomography, the selection of monitoring intersections can be solved through the use of matrices, with its rows representing paths between two intersections, and its columns representing links in the road network. Because the goal of the algorithm is to provide a cost-efficient, minimum error, and high coverage monitor set, this problem can be translated into an optimization problem over a matroid, which can be solved efficiently by a greedy algorithm. Also as supplementary, the approach is capable of handling noisy measurements and a measurement-to-path matching. The approach proves a low error and a 90% coverage with only 20% nodes selected as monitors in a downtown San Francisco, CA topology"--Abstract, page iv.
