The New Communication Network for an Internet of Things/Everything Based Security/Safety/General Management/Visitor's Services Integrated System of the Pompeii Archeological Park, Italy

Pompeii is renowned for its disastrous chronicle, as in 79 A.D. an awful explosion of Vesuvius volcano totally interred it with all its population. Just in 1748 A.D., by the choice of the Bourbons monarchs, explorations started in Pompeii and thus the beginning of the diggings. Starting from that period, the notoriety of Pompeii diffused through the globe due to its treasures and, although several valuable objects have been looted and stripped during the centuries, it still continues to astonish nowadays. With its different millions tourists per year, the Pompeii Archaeological Park, only after the Colosseum in Rome, is the most visited place in Italy. An exclusive and composite cultural heritage site, as the considered one, requires considerable efforts to warrant people security and safety. Further, it is vital to warrant cultural heritage preservation and protection as well as accessibility for people, with particular reference to people with disabilities, and for personnel normally working for site managing. These goals can be achieved employing integrated systems and innovative technologies, such as Internet of Things / Everything (IoT/IoE) that can connect people, things (mobile terminals, intelligent sensors, devices, wearable devices; etc.), data/information/knowledge and particular processes. The goal of this paper is to illustrate the IoT/IoE integrated system and the method and the outcomes attained from the study and the project of a new communication network for Internet of Things/Everything based security/safety/general management and visitors' services integrated system of the Pompeii archaeological park, Italy.
