BeaCloud: A Generic Architecture for Sustainable Smart City using Bluetooth Beacons

In recent years, Bluetooth beacons have been widely used in numerous application domains, including smart cities, assistive technologies, and intelligent transportation management. Researchers or developers associated with these domains frequently require diverse systems to implement or test their prototype related innovations. They need to deploy beacons for the specific environment every time; such customized systems typically cannot often be reused. Hence, the cost of implementation increases, and multiple systems generate redundant data.
