Abstract

As the internet and the Internet of Things continue to expand, the idea of Smart Cities has begun to take hold. Smart Cities use connected devices and data to improve the environment and quality of life of their citizens. Technologies such as crowdsensing and geofencing allow citizens to contribute to initiatives and receive notifications when near areas of interest, respectively. This paper presents a systematic review of past works on the implementation of crowdsensing and geofencing technologies in Smart Cities, with the goal of identifying their purpose, strategies, and tools. The review examines seventeen relevant papers identified through the Scopus citation and abstract database.
