Abstract

The wide spread of communication infrastructures brings with it a natural increase of transmission signals in several areas, in particular in urban environments. In this article we introduce a data model to represent the sensible area from an electromagnetic point of view. The risk analysis has to take into account a plethora of information related to several territorial aspects in order to have suitable knowledge about phenomena. The proposed model is the basis of a distributed sensor network to measure the field values which are used to have real-time monitoring. A prototypical system has been implemented and used in an urban area of the municipality of Napoli.
