Nowadays, the transformations of cities into smart cities is a crucial factor in improving the living conditions of the inhabitants as well as addressing emergency situations under the concept of public safety and property loss. In this context, many sensing systems have been designed and developed that provide fire detection and gas leakage alerts. On the other hand, new technologies such edge computing have gained significant attention in recent years. Moreover, the development of recent intelligent applications in IoT aims to integrate several types of systems with automated next-generation emergency calls in case of a serious accident. Currently, there is a lack of studies that combine all the aforementioned technologies. The proposed smart building sensor system, SB112, combines a small-size multisensor-based (temperature, humidity, smoke, flame, CO, LPG, and CNG) scheme with an open-source edge computing framework and automated Next Generation (NG) 112 emergency call functionality. It involves crucial actors such as IoT devices, a Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP), the middleware of a smart city platform, and relevant operators in an end-to-end manner for real-world scenarios. To verify the utility and functionality of the proposed system, a representative end-to-end experiment was performed, publishing raw measurements from sensors as well as a fire alert in real time and with low latency (average latency of 32 ms) to the middleware of a smart city platform. Once the fire was detected, a fully automatic NG112 emergency call to a PSAP was performed. The proposed methodology highlights the potential of the SΒ112 system for exploitation by decision-makers or city authorities.
