SmartNode Dashboards: a framework front-end based on Node-RED for Smart City Dashboards development
SmartNode Dashboard, smart cities, dashboards, web interface patterns, Node-RED
Nowadays several cities have been involved in research in order to provide the city's data and information to the population through dashboards (so-called City Dashboards). These solutions enable citizens to follow the events of the city in real time, enabling these people to plan their routines based on the knowledge generated about their local context. Even with the growing number of projects being developed for this purpose, there are no jobs that are aimed at creating reusable structures or methodologies that use other open source software products to standardize the production of dashboards. Therefore, this work was proposed in creating a framework based on Bootstrap. The framework was intended to implement standards projects and web interface, focused on content with reusable structures, using Node-RED as an execution platform. As a result of this work, it was possible to design SmartNode Dashboard, a framework for creating standardized and customizable interfaces. In addition to offering dashboard developers a methodology for using SmartNode Dashboard with Node-RED to facilitate and extend teams' ability to perform, time and quality in the development of dashboards.
