Sakernas Internet och Radiofrekvensidentifiering : En central anpassad lösning för att läsa unika användare med hjälp av populär teknik

Sammanfattning: The Internet of Things is a growing market that creates opportunities and chal- lenges for companies. Bergeforsen Obstacle Race is an obstacle race which 2016 attracted 250 people to participate. To investigate new ways of creating a more giving event for competitors and spectators, an independent work has dur- ing its 10 weeks done a theoretical study of Internet of Things with its popular technology Radio Frequency Identification, RESTful web services and Digest authentication to lay the grounds for a RESTful web service which purpose is to enable modules of user interfaces. Impact mapping and user stories was used before construction to build a product backlog. During construction agile meth- ods from Cowboy was followed. The service was developed with modern tech- nology like Node.js and MongoDB. An overview of a scenario of the event has been used to visualize how it could be used where nodes, which are computers with RFID reader modules, can read a competitor and send their identifier with time to a server through RESTful methods. To store sent data, database objects have been created for races, competitors and readings. The security of the sys- tem has been investigated by implementing Digest authentication and database Role Base Access Control. The result is a RESTful web service with 2 routes to modify races and competitors and 2 more routes to give functionality to adding and removing competitors from races and readings. The routes have been con- trolled with functional testing, and their value investigated. At last a comparison have been made with the current used system and the constructed RESTful web service. The independent work was then examined to show that a closer cus- tomer relationship could lay the foundation for a better system and comparison but motivated a RESTful web service as there was only specifications of cus- tomer values. The work has provided ethical aspects regarding licenses, security and sensitive information.
