IoT in Smart Cities: Applications, Advantages, and Challenges

This presentation explores the Internet of Things (IoT) and its applications within the context of smart cities. It begins with a definition of IoT, emphasizing its role in connecting devices and facilitating data transfer without human interaction. The presentation then delves into specific applications within smart cities, including efficient water supply, traffic management, public transport enhancements, healthcare advancements, energy-efficient buildings, and public safety systems. Examples of smart cities are provided, along with a discussion of the advantages, such as improved public transport, economic benefits, and efficient resource utilization. The presentation also addresses the disadvantages and potential problems, including technical faults, privacy concerns, system complexity, and the impact of reduced human interaction. Finally, it suggests potential solutions, such as developing backup systems, creating user-friendly technologies with effective guides, implementing data protection protocols, and prioritizing the maintenance of monitoring and control devices. The presentation concludes with a thank you.

INTERNET OF THINGS
 The internet of things or IoT is considered to be a system comprising of interrelated devices of computing, digital machines, people or
animals which are provided with some unique identifiers and the capability if transferring data over a network without the requirement of
the interaction between one human to an other human or between one human and a computer.
 The internet of thing stands for the extension of internet connectivity across the physical devices. Which help us to communicate with
each other.
 In other words it is a integrated computing system which has the facility of data transaction without any human interaction.
 Internet of thing has a wide range of application offer, such as –
 Machine learning
 Automation.
 Wireless sensor
 Control system
 Smart mobile devices.

EFFECT OF THE WAY OF LIVING IN A CITY.
 The effects of IOT on the way of living in a city which are mentioned below:
 Efficient Water Supply – Implementation of smart devices in the water supply process, helps to detect problematic area such as leak
detection, analysis of water flow and distribution which provides a significant approach towards efficient water supply management.
 IoT in traffic – Application in traffic can help to reduce traffic congestion by alerting the drivers and passengers about accidents and
traffic congestion in their mobile devices.
 Iot in public transport – implementation of Iot in public transport offers an approach towards passengers safety by implementing
cameras and GPRS devices into the transport.
 IoT in health care – in order to provide highly effective computerized devices IoT has offered several application in disease
identification as well as operation.
 Iot in building which are energy efficient – The technology of Iot makes it easier for all the building having a legacy infrastructure
for saving energy and improving sustainability.
 IoT in public safety – IoT promotes system for monitoring video which tackes the concerns of safety coming up in the growing city.

EXAMPLES OF SMART CITIES
 Los Angeles
 San Francisco
 London

ADVANTAGES
 Highly secured public transport.
 Economical improvement.
 Efficient energy utilization.
 Improved traffic congestion.
 Efficient data transaction.
 Maximum utilization of natural resources.
 Advance health care devices.

DISADVANTAGES
 Technical fault
 Privacy
 Complex system
 Faults due to less human interaction

PROBLEM
Followed by the faults there are several problematic areas which needs to be mitigated with highest priority.
 Due to lack of human interaction there is a high chance of fault occurrence in the decision making process in the
automation fields such as driver less car, robotics as well as in the health care industries.
 Due to technical fault the chance of a accident occurrence can not be avoided.
 Since, the citizen information are always handled by the third party issue related to information security is high.
 Less user friendly devices with complex structure is also a limitation of smart devices in the smart city.

SOLUTION
 In order to mitigate the problem related to the decision making approach of a automated system the developers
must pay high attention to build a the backup system in order to rescue the system from the problem.
 The technologies must be user friendly and it must consist of effective user guide which will help new users.
 The developer must concern about the information security in ICT, thus it is recommended to use data protection
protocol such as firewall to protect the information of the citizens.
 the monitoring and control devices must be maintained with highest priority in order to avoid the technical fault.
