 Introduction
The Internet of Things (IoT) is a recent communication paradigm that envisions a near future, in which
the objects of everyday life will be equipped with microcontrollers, transceivers for digital
communication, and suitable protocol stacks that will make them able to communicate with one another
and with the users, becoming an integral part of the Internet. By working in this way access and
communication with the different variety of gadgets and devices like camera, audio recorder,
smartwatches, Google glass, Digital broad displays, sensors…etc. the IoT will nurture the improvement of
learning circumstances that make use of the huge subject data.
Daily thousands of students, teachers, and visitors are present on the campus, every time monitoring
their details or reporting all irregularities observed, illegal parking, electric power management,
unattended garbage, the tree fall, fire, raging, miss behavior of students inside the campus,the etc., it’s
very difficult to put the manpower for monitoring.
The impact of IoT in the field of Information Technology has been vast and wide. Its impact ranges from
private users to big universities and colleges. It has played a major role on developing smart homes for
private users and has greatly impact the automation and manufacturing, logistics, commercial aspects,
and other business/educational perspective of small and big educational institutions.

One of the best implementations of IoT through information and communication technology month the
devices that can be integrated which are being used in daily life. The automation of different constrained
devices has opened the possibilities of having smart homes, job environments, and other work-related
locations. It is a complex global network architecture with self-configuring capabilities based on standard
and interoperable communication protocols in which physical and virtual "things" are defined, physical
attributes and virtual identities are identified, intelligent interfaces are used and incorporated in the
information network
seamlessly.

Uses of Smart College campus using IoT

2
Similar to smart cities, a smart campus utilizes smart technologies to create new experiences and
services. These smart technologies, which are connected to the Internet and AI-driven – can improve
various aspects of the student and faculty experience on campus such as
Enhancing the financial aid process
Improving student services
Reducing wait times
Mitigating compliance mistakes
Reducing human errors
Automating workflows
Conserving energy and resources

ADVANTAGES OF SMART e-CAMPUS

The concept of smart e-campus is defined like a small world where sensor-enabled and network devices
work continuously and collaboratively to make humans more comfort. The Internet of Things (IoT) will
change
everything, exercises, and protests from easy to the most perplexing, and why not, even us people. Other
than
regions such as business, transportation, vitality, medication, horticulture, and others, the Internet of
Things will
likewise have a noteworthy implication in education.[16] A college grounds may speak to the perfect spot
for the formation of a keen domain. The point of the thusly venture is to depict another idea called Smart
campus, beginning from requirements and focal points and closure with a conceivable design taking into
account smart items.
Some elements here are:
SMART INVENTORY: Each piece of equipment or component (cpu, printer, scanner, copier ETC) can
have an associated bar code which represents inventory number and a QR tag. Using a device connected
to
the internet with a barcode reader this equipment can be identified with a barcode reader this equipment
can
be identified & it can be able to display all associated information.
SMART PARKING: Monitoring of the university’s parking and finding the number of vacancies since
when staff/students are in traffic and avoiding jams or accidents in this ways;
3
AUTOMATED STREET LIGHT: Automatically adjust the classroom light based on the data sent by an
external sensor light about power of natural light, which wil reduce electricity consumption.
GSM BASED ALRETS: We get alerts if any unauthorized persons enters the e-campus or in labs any
security violations gets occurred.
AIR QUALITY AND NOISE LEVEL, LIGHT INTENSITY MONITORING SYSTEM:In cooperation
with the e-campus Air Resources Division, campus members have established a sophisticated air quality
monitoring station to characterize air quality in Shenandoah. Most monitoring efforts are done in
conjunction with campuswide, interagency of networks.
GARBAGE & WASTE COLLECTION BINS OVERFLOW ALERT SYSTEM (GSM/ZIGBEE): In our e
campus many times we see that the garbage bins or dustbins placed at campus places are overflowing. It
creates unhygienic conditions for people. Also it creates ugliness to that place. At the same time bad smell
is also spread.
CAMPUS GARDEN AUTOMATION WATER FLOW: The innovative campus GARDENA Water flow
Meter allows targeted irrigation that is measured and mindful. At a glance based on moisture condition in
soil. The consumed water quantity can be read at any time on the large display and thereby controlled.
Until
now, irrigation has been a matter of personal judgment and one's form on the day

TYPE OF SENSER USED IN e-CAMPUS.

Sensors and technologies can be identified depending on their usefulness in e-campus.
Temperature - Thermistors, thermocouples, RTD’s, IC and many more.
Pressure - Fibre optic, vacuum, elastic liquid based manometers, LVDT, electronic.
Flow - Electromagnetic, differential pressure, positional displacement, thermal mass, etc.
Level Sensors - Differential pressure, ultrasonic radio frequency, radar, thermal displacement, etc.
Proximity and displacement - LVDT, photoelectric, capacitive, magnetic, ultrasonic.
Biosensors - Electrochemical, surface Plasmon resonance, Light addressable potentio-metric.
Image - Charge coupled devices, CMOS.
Gas and Fire - Semiconductor, Infrared, Conductance, Electrochemical.
Others - Moisture, humidity sensor, Speed sensor, mass, Tilt sensor, force, viscosity

Smart Lab-Based Research

Electronically-controlled lab devices, such as electron microscopes, variable isolation transformers,

multimeters, oscilloscopes and others, can be connected to a common network with IoT. The connectivity
allows researchers to conduct potentially dangerous experiments remotely with accuracy. Also, smart
labs allow students and laboratory instructors to generate and document data from experiments in the
least amount of time. The inclusion of IoT for university-funded research programs is vital for new
discoveries and theory development too.

Smart Inventory Campus

Each piece of equipment or component (CPU, Printer, scanner, copier etc.) can have an associated bar
code which represents inventory number and a QR tag.

Using a device connected to the internet with a barcode reader this equipment can be identified with a
barcode reader this equipment can be identified & it can be able to display all associated information

These devices collect useful data with the help of various existing technologies and then autonomously
flow the data between other devices

Current market examples include home automation (also known as smart home devices) such as the
control and automation of lighting, heating (like smart thermostat), ventilation, air conditioning (HVAC)
systems that are printer, computers & other devices in lab’s use Wi-Fi for remote monitoring.

Smart Parking In Campus

The new Smart Parking sensor – part of Libelium’s Smart e-campus solution – is designed to be buried in
parking spaces and to detect the arrival and departure of vehicles

The Smart Parking platform will allow system integrators to offer comprehensive parking management
solutions to city councils. By providing accurate information on available parking spaces, motorists save
time and fuel and cities reduce atmospheric pollution and congestion.

A significant contribution to congestion arises from motorists searching for available parking spaces -
often

Smart Classroom in Campus
The concept of Smart Classroom is defined like a small world where sensor-enabled and network devices
work continuously and collaboratively to make humans more comfort.
Smart Learning Environments (SLE) comprise, in a conscious and strategic way, the use of technologies
within learning environments to allow a positive impact on the students learning experiences.
This leads to the adoption of a variety of smart solutions in campus environments to enhance the quality
of life and to improve the performances of both teachers and students.
In smart Classroom we can implement these features.
Attendance monitoring through face recognition.
Intimating the parents about the absent status of the student.
Classroom conditions monitoring through the device control.
Library management software system with all the basic as well as some innovative features for
managing a library.

 Smart campus technology examples at Universities and Colleges
 Arizona State University’s football stadium has undergone a $300 million renovation which includes
smart, concession sales, and even noise levels.

 In 2019, Portland State University created the Digital City Testbed Centre (DCTC), which is also part
of a network of testing sites including the University of British Columbia. PSU is also partnering with
the city of Portland for these smart technology tests and is working with Portland’s Bureau of
Planning along with the Portland Bureau of Transportation. Much of the focus is around air quality
sensors and traffic sensors (200 sensors computing real-time data on bike, pedestrian, and vehicle
traffic).

 At the University of Wisconsin-Madison, they are preparing for an autonomous vehicle testing zone
which will include sensors on traffic lights throughout the 32-acre site.

 At the University of Texas at Austin complete with 150 buildings – is run by the largest microgrid in
America. The microgrid manages and provides all the electricity, heat, and cooling on campus. There
isn’t any question that both WIFI and IoT technologies have accelerated greatly and now provide
better security and safety for campuses in the form of digitalized lighting systems, networked
security cameras, geofencing, and more.

 Boston University has already worked on their Smart-city Cloud-based Open Platform and Ecosystem
SCOPE for five years. The objective is to test sensor networking throughout innovative
environments. 

  At the University of Michigan, Mechanical Engineering professor serves as the director of Mcity
which is a public-private partnership between the university and the city of Ann Arbor. The purpose
of Mcity is to develop smart, automated technologies to power transportation such as driverless
vehicles. Within Mcity, participants can test theories and collect data.
