To planning a Smart City, IoT will play a significant role
Posted On Oct 7, 2020There have been tremendous debates about developing smart cities in India over the last few years. The question to ask is, what determines a smart city in reality? Imagine a city that behaves like a living entity, communicates with you, and listens to your needs constantly.
A city that not only reads live data constantly from multiple sources (sensors) but also analyses it to monitor shifts and alterations its actions according to evolving trends of data. Due to its innate wisdom in coping with its capital and climate, a smart city is deemed smart.
It makes successful use of the "Information and Communication Technologies" that are available, especially the "Internet of Things ( IoT)."
The Internet of Things provide the requisite knowledge to the city's fundamental building blocks and help make it smart! Just picture sensors measuring and transmitting energy intake, water
levels, traffic patterns and parking lots, environmental and surveillance cameras,
Data to the city reporting control center directly. In order to fully turn around a city's operating performance, smart cities have huge potential and IoT is the technological framework behind it.
Any of the concrete use cases for using IoT in developing a smart city are described below.
*In today's cities, locating a parking spot can be a difficult challenge. On the one hand, it frustrates the commuter, and on the other hand, as the
commuter is seeking to locate a good spot to park his vehicle, it raises noise.
Using IoT, it is possible to fit a city's parking spaces with sensors to detect whether they are already occupied.
* Lighting accounts for a significant proportion of every urban town's overall energy consumption. Although electricity and lighting are an important feature, every developing
city today also uses them to enhance beauty and identity. In a conventional lighting scheme, the inspection of deficiencies takes place manually.
There are also fixed and undifferentiated degrees of illumination for all hours of service.
*By implementing smart garbage bins with a sensor to assess the filling amount of waste in the jar, City Waste Management can be made smarter.
This knowledge will be conveyed to the central city waste management system by the garbage bins, which can automatically direct the waste collection trucks to the nearest complete garbage container.
The rudimentary static waste management system will be upgraded to an integrated system based on real-time data relevant to the filling of waste containers.
*In order to constantly track important environmental parameters such as electromagnetic field, noise, temperature/humidity, CO2
/ toxic gases, combustion gases for fire detection and so on, sensors can be mounted throughout the area.
Analysis of these results, along with their patterns, will offer insights into important environmental conditions at different locations in the region.
The Internet of Things, also known as Smart Cities, is a fast-growing and ubiquitous reality.
Both of these Smart Cities would be linked to a network
