The document discusses how the Internet of Things (IoT) can be used to create smart cities. IoT refers to a network of physical objects embedded with sensors that can connect and exchange data over the internet. A smart city uses digital technologies and IoT to enhance performance, reduce costs and resource consumption, and engage citizens. IoT can be used in smart cities for structural health monitoring of buildings, waste management, air/noise monitoring, traffic management, energy usage analysis, smart parking, smart lighting, and e-health services. The Indian government has allocated funds to develop 100 smart cities using modern technologies like IoT.
2. DEFINITION
The Internet of Things, also called
The Internet of Objects, refers to a
wireless network between objects,
usually the network will be wireless
and self-configuring, such as
household appliances.

14. INDIA IS GOING TO BE SMARTER
In the 2014-15 Budget Session, the Finance
Minister of India Mr. Arun Jaitely is allotted the
7,060 Crores of Rupees for the 100 Smart Cities.
The Indian Prime Minister Mr. Narendra Modi
is going to develop the 100 Smart Cities as
Satellite Towns of Larger Cities by
modernizing the present Cities.
15. IOT IS THE FUTURE
So, IoT is the future of the
Internet and it’s going to
affect life of each and every
object in this world!
Notes de l'éditeur
The Internet as we know it is going to change. Today it’s a massive global network that allows People to communicate with each other. We send emails we send instant messages, we use websites to communicate and share data. It’s the people who drive the internet. The data that we send comes from the client devices like mobile phones, tablets, laptops, Desktop computers and it goes to some server and then that server transmits that data on further.
So we can say the internet it made up of three major actors the PEOPLE, the CLIENT DEVICES they use and the SERVERS! Today the whole new category of actor has been added to the internet. They are unglamorously called as the
THINGS!
And hence the term internet of THINGS!
So what is a thing? Any object that has that has a sensor attached to it that can transmit the data from that sensor further into the internet or into the cloud where it can bee analysed and used to make decisions. Examples of such sensors include temp sensors, traffic sensors flowrate sensors, usage monitors, motion and gesture sensors and so on!
1993 is just about 20 years back and we have created about 4000 Exabytes of data since then! Remember 1 Exabyte is 1 million terabytes or 1 billion gigabytes!
There are about a billion people using the internet today. This number will double in next couple of years! In 2020 there will be 50 billion devices connected to the internet. Also there will be 7.2 billion people alive! That means for every person on the planet there will be 6.6 devices connected to the internet!
So here we are talking about world with billions of sensors. These sensors get the information from real physical objects that are in the real world and upload it on the internet. It’s a world where the environment around you will transform as you walk through it. Technology that you are not even aware of is monitoring your every move. It’s the world which is constantly changing all around us due to these sensors and we call it the IoT.
This is called as the DIKW pyramid or triangle! DATA->Info->knowledge->wisdom.
This is where the analytics part comes into the picture.
A system is a set of things working together as parts of a mechanism or an interconnecting network.
So an ideal day of a normal person in the future will be:
I wake up in the morning, my alarm went up at the right time because it looked into my calendar and knew I had a meeting today. As I woke up if it’s dark the lights will turn on! The oven will start preheating and send notification on my phone or my smart watch giving me the control to stop the process! Simultaneously the water will start heating for my bath! As I go into the kitchen my refrigerator will tell me what contents it has and also will tell what I can make with those contents! Suppose all the eggs are used for breakfast then the data about the contents will be updated! As I go out of the house I’ll lock the door with my smart device. The sensors will give notification to my car and the car door will be unlocked and the AC and the music player will turn on! This is the part of the home automation!
There is not yet a formal and widely accepted definition of a smart city but the final aim is to make a better use of public resources, increasing the QoS offered to the citizens while reducing the operational costs of public administration. This objective can be pursued by the deployment of an urban IoT.
issue consists in the non-interoperability of the heterogeneous technologies currently used in city and urban developments. In this respect, the IoT
vision can become the building block to the success of the “happening” of the smart city!
Proper maintenance of the historical buildings of a city requires the continuous monitoring of the actual conditions of each building and identification of the areas that are most subject to the impact of external agents. The urban IoT may provide a distributed database of building structural integrity measurements, collected by suitable sensors located in the buildings, such as vibration and deformation sensors to monitor the building stress, atmospheric agent sensors in the surrounding areas to monitor pollution levels.
Waste management is a primary issue in many modern cities, due to both the cost of the service and the problem of the storage of garbage in landfills. For instance, the use of intelligent waste containers, which detect the level of load and optimize the collector trucks route, that can reduce the cost of waste collection and improve the quality of recycling
An urban IoT can provide means to monitor the quality of the air in crowded areas, parks, or fitness trails. communication facilities can be provided to let health applications running on joggers’ devices be connected to the infrastructure. In such a way, people can always find the healthiest path for outdoor activities.
An urban IoT can offer a noise monitoring service to measure the amount of noise produced at any given hour in the places that adopt the service. The data can be collected at the public authorities who can take further action over it.
an urban IoT may provide a service to monitor the energy consumption of the whole city, thus enabling authorities and citizens to get a clear and detailed view of the amount of energy required by the different services (public lighting, transportation, traffic lights, control cameras, heating/ cooling of public buildings, and so on).
