Information Technology

This paper gives a brief overview of the sensors network in Internet of Things (IoT) for building smart cities. The internet of things (IoT) is the network of visible physical devices like vehicles, Railways, cameras and other items are embedded with hardware, electronics, software, sensors, and network connectivity that enables these devices to collect and exchange data.The Internet of Things is about installing sensors for physical devices, and connecting them to the internet through specific protocols for communications and exchanging information, in order to establish intelligent recognition, location, tracking, monitoring and management. Smart City solutions are based on multiple architectures, standards and platforms, which are mention in Internet of Things (IoT). Furthermore, the paper will present and discuss the technical solutions and best-practice principles adopted in the pune Smart City project, a proof-of-concept deployment of an IoT sensor network in the city of Pune, performed in collaboration with the city municipality.
