Domain of IOT Research: Smart Cities

Smart Cities

Internet availability to people and connectivity to electronic devices and sensors can make many things happen in a simple way. Internet of Things is all about doing that. Internet of Things plays a major role in transforming into smart cities at present and in future. Implementing IoT-driven services improves the quality of life of people through measures that promote an eco-friendly, sustainable environment. IOT-driven services gather large amount of data and this data is processed, trends are derived and resources are better used in all the ways. Real time data is most of the times associated with privacy and security implications. A smart city is in which there are necessary intelligent, robust and reliable functions to integrate and synthesize these big data and filter out any unwanted 'noise' for the purpose of improving city efficiency, equity, sustainability and quality of life.

I want to investigate on projects taken up by Cisco in tie up with Barcelona. Cisco implemented different projects like smart bus stops, information on the flow of citizens, wirelessly-connected garbage bins. How all these projects are related to improve quality of people's life? I want to find out in what ways the current projects can be extended so that more facilities can be provided to citizens. What are the other inter-related projects that can be taken up to uplift the living quality? How eco-friendly environment can be maintained. What can be made to maintain balance in traffic on roads? What optimization can be done so that people can lead a high quality life?
