IoT solutions for smart cities

Abstract

The concept of Smart City IoTisa comprehensive and layered framework that caters to the needs of multiple facets of projects related to smart city and thus allowing cities to utilise urban networking in order to increase economic prowess, and build more efficient, unique technological solutions to deal with the numerous challenges of the city. Smart City is the product of advanced development of the new era of information technology and smart economy, based on the mesh networking of the Internet, telecommunications network, broadcast network, wireless networking and other end-to-end sensor networking where Internet of Things technology (IoT) as its heart. The Internet of Things is modular approach to integrate sensors (RFID, IR, GPS, laser scanners, etc.) Into everyday objects, and inter connecting them over the internet through specific protocols for exchange of information and communications, which leads to achieving intelligent recognition, location tracking, monitoring and management. Along with the technological support from IoT, smart cities quintessentially need to conquer three features of being; instrumented, interconnected and intelligent. A Smart City can only be formed by interconnecting all of these intelligent features at their advanced stage of IOT development. The objective of this paper is how Internet and Sensors can help to develop a city to smart.
