Internet of Things-Final Project Smart Cities : Ghofrane Ferchichi Stic L2 SR B

The document discusses smart cities and how internet of things (IoT) technology is enabling cities to become smarter. It defines a smart city as an intelligent network of connected objects and machines that transmit data using wireless technology and the cloud to help cities improve quality of life for citizens. Examples of how IoT is used in smart cities include connected traffic lights that adjust timing based on real-time traffic data to reduce congestion, smart garbage cans that automatically schedule pickup, and smartphones that serve as digital IDs and credentials. The document also discusses the importance of reliable wireless connectivity, open data, security, and monetization for successful smart cities.

GHOFRANE FERCHICHI

STIC L2 SR B
INTRODUCTIO
SMART CITIES AREN’T JUST A CONCEPT OR A DREAM OF
N
THE FUTURE. 
THANKS TO THE WILDLY INNOVATIVE INTERNET OF
THINGS (IOT) SOLUTIONS, MANY ARE ALREADY ACTIVE
AND EXPANDING RAPIDLY. 
MUNICIPAL GOVERNMENTS ARE LEVERAGING CELLULAR
AND LOW POWER WIDE AREA (LPWAN) WIRELESS
TECHNOLOGIES TO CONNECT AND IMPROVE
INFRASTRUCTURE, EFFICIENCY, CONVENIENCE, AND
QUALITY OF LIFE FOR RESIDENTS AND VISITORS ALIKE.
WHAT IS A SMART CITY?
• A smart city is a framework, predominantly composed of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT),
to develop, deploy, and promote sustainable development practices to address growing urbanization
challenges. 
• A big part of this ICT framework is essentially an intelligent network of connected objects and machines that
transmit data using wireless technology and the cloud. 
• Cloud-based IoT applications receive, analyze, and manage data in real-time to help municipalities, enterprises,
and citizens make better decisions that improve quality of life.
• Citizens engage with smart city ecosystems in a variety of ways using smartphones and mobile devices, as well
as connected cars and homes. Pairing devices and data with a city’s physical infrastructure and services can cut
costs and improve sustainability. 
• Communities can improve energy distribution, streamline trash collection, decrease traffic congestion, and even
improve air quality with help from the IoT. 
For instance, 
• Connected traffic lights receive data from sensors
and cars adjusting light cadence and timing to
respond to real-time traffic, thereby reducing road
congestion. 
• Connected cars can communicate with parking
meters and electric vehicle (EV) charging docks and
direct drivers to the nearest available spot. 
• Smart garbage cans automatically send data to
waste management companies and schedule pick-up
as needed versus on a pre-planned schedule. 
• And citizens’ smartphone becomes their mobile
driver’s license and ID card with digital credentials,
which speeds and simplifies access to the city and
local government services. 
• Together, these smart city technologies are
optimizing infrastructure, mobility, public services,
and utilities.
WHY DO WE NEED SMART CITIES?
• Urbanization is a non-ending phenomenon. 
• Today, 54% of people worldwide live in cities, a proportion that’s expected to reach 66% by
20501. 
• Combined with the overall population growth, urbanization will add another 2.5 billion people
to cities over the next three decades2. Environmental, social, and economic sustainability is a
must to keep pace with this rapid expansion that is taxing our cities’ resources.
• 193 countries have agreed upon the agenda of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), in
September 2015 at the United Nations. But we all know how centralized decisions and actions
can take time, and the clock is ticking.
• The good news?
• Citizens and local authorities are certainly more agile to launch swift initiatives, and smart city
technology is paramount to success and meeting these goals.
HOW IS IOT TECHNOLOGY MAKING CITIES
SMARTER AND BETTER?
Secure wireless connectivity and IoT technology are transforming traditional elements of city
life - like streetlights - into next-generation intelligent lighting platforms with expanded
capabilities. 
• The scope includes integrating solar power and connecting to a cloud-based central control
system that connects to other assets in the ecosystem.
• These solutions shine far beyond simple lighting needs. 
• High-power embedded LEDs alert commuters about traffic issues, provide severe weather
warnings, and provide heads up when environmental like fires arise. 
• Streetlights can also detect free parking spaces and EV charging docks and alert drivers
where to find an open spot via a mobile app. Charging might even be able from the lamppost
itself in some locations! 
WHAT MAKES SMART CITIES SUCCESSFUL?

In addition to people, dwellings, commerce, and traditional urban infrastructure,


there are four essential elements necessary for thriving smart cities:
1. Pervasive wireless connectivity
2. Open data
3. Security you can trust in
4. Flexible monetization schemes
WHAT’S THE BEST WIRELESS TECHNOLOGY
FOR SMART CITIES?
The first building block of any smart city application is reliable, pervasive wireless connectivity. 
• While there’s no one-size-fits-all, evolving Low Power Wide Area Network (LPWAN)
technologies are well suited to most smart city applications for their cost efficiency and ubiquity. 
• These technologies include LTE Cat M, NB-IoT, LoRa, Bluetooth, and a few others that all
contribute to the fabric of connected cities. 
• The advent of 5G technology is expected to be a watershed event that propels smart city
technology into the mainstream and accelerates new deployments. 
• But only with a few more elements…
EXAMPLES OF SMART CITIES

New York • The New York City Department of Transportation's Midtown in Motion is


a congestion management system that has improved travel times on the

City avenues in Midtown by 10%

Amsterdam • Amsterdam is a shining example of a well-connected smart city that is


reaping the rewards of opening the data vault. The Smart City initiative

Smart City began in 2009 and included over 170 projets.

Copenhagen • Copenhagen is known as one of the smartest cities in the world and
mobilizes expertise worldwide.
• The city is leveraging open data in its collaboration with 

Smart City the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) to develop an innovative


smart bike system.
LTE-4 M NB- LOR
IOT A
CONCLUSION

• Smart Cities are the need of the century where


everyone’s interested in super fast progress and at
the same time there is a requirement that the
progress becomes sustainable. Thus smart city is
the ideal way in which a country progresses.
