IoT-based Smart City Solutions

By Orisys Academy on 20th January 2024

Problem Statement

Modern cities face challenges in managing resources and services efficiently.
The project aims to develop IoT applications to address urban challenges,
including smart traffic management, waste management, and environmental
monitoring. The goal is to create a comprehensive and interconnected system
that enhances the overall quality of life in urban areas.

Abstract

This project focuses on leveraging IoT technology to create smart city solutions.
It involves developing applications for smart traffic management to reduce
congestion, optimizing waste management through real-time monitoring, and
implementing environmental monitoring systems to ensure sustainability. The
interconnected IoT infrastructure will contribute to a smarter, more efficient, and
environmentally friendly urban environment.

Outcome

● Implementation of IoT applications for smart traffic management, waste
management, and environmental monitoring.
● Improved efficiency in resource utilization and reduced environmental
impact.
● Contribution to the development of a more sustainable and livable urban
environment.

Reference

The massive deployment of Internet of Things (IoT) is allowing Smart City projects and initiatives all over the world. The IoT is a modular approach to merge various sensors with all the ICT solutions. With over 50 billion objects will be connected and deployed in smart cities in 2020. The heart of smart cities operations is the IoT communications. IoT is designed to support Smart City concept, which aims at utilizing the most advanced communication technologies to promote services for the administration of the city and the citizens. This paper is presenting a comprehensive review of the concepts of IoT and smart cities and their motivations and applications. Moreover, this paper describes the main challenges and weaknesses of applying the IoT technologies based on smart city paradigms.
