SMART CITY USING IOT

Embedded Systems

According to the United Nations Population Fund, in 2019, 54% of the world’s population lived in urban areas, approximately 3.3 billion people. By 2030, roughly 66%, or 5 billion people will live in urban areas1. This not only represents a massive challenge in how we build and manage cities but a significant opportunity to improve the lives of billions of people. Rising to that challenge, engineers worldwide are turning to new technology ‐ such as the Cyber Physical Systems, 5G and data analytics Emphasis is given on how sensing and communication technologies of IOT can effectively be used in smart city monitoring. Basically the system consists of a Arduino microcontroller interfaced with many sensors for making the city smarter. The project aims to bring smartness in five different aspects of any city such as density based traffic monitoring, smart garbage management, city pollution control, intensity based street light monitoring and digital water supply system, traffic control system. Further this project also includes controlling of some parameters like water and light. IOT deals with intricate systems that integrates multiple disperse components towards their synergetic use. In this paper a system of interconnected smart modules is developed where each and every parameter necessary for a city is monitored and updated to the cloud. Emphasis is given on how sensing and communication technologies of IOT can effectively be used in smart city monitoring. This paper also includes smart parking system with garbage collection. Further this project also includes controlling of some parameters like water and light.
