Building Smart Cities Applications using IoT and Cloud-based Architectures

Abstract : The concept of a Smart City highlights the need to enhance quality, interconnection and performance of various urban services with the use of information and communication technologies (ICT). Smart City technologies promote cloud-based and Internet of Things (IoT) based services in which real-world user interfaces use smart phones, sensors and RFIDs. Cloud computing and IoT are presently two most important ICT models that are shaping the next generation of computing. Both concepts have major impact on how we build and deploy smart applications/solutions for smart cities. Cloud computing represents the delivery of hardware and software resources on demand over the Internet-as-a-service. On the other hand, IoT concept envisions a new generation of devices (sensors, both virtual and physical) that are connected to the Internet and provide different services for value-added applications. This paper addresses the convergent domain of cloud computing and IoT for any smart city application deployment. Dubai as a smart city is discussed with some application-based scenarios. An IoTbased healthcare framework is also proposed in the paper.

 EXISTING SYSTEM :

 ? This paper describes the existing communication, processing, and storage applications on a cloudbased IoT platform for smart cities. ? This is because cloud computing allows for more flexible scheduling and resource allocation, and a preference for pre-existing management. ? It likewise includes the overall package from developing to enhancing existing sales skills. ? The vehicle circuit system and a wireless connection are between the motors and the smarts dispatch center. ? This increases concerns regarding the transition from the existing analog network to IP-based voice-to-voice communication.

 DISADVANTAGE :

 ? A cloud-based solution that allows multiple teams to fix IoT-related problems without difficulties. ? Integration has always been problematic, however, owing to the conflicting IoT and cloud architecture. ? The platform streamlines application improvement, eliminates the need for infrastructure, makes problems less challenging to manipulate, and lowers refurbishment charges. ? Changing climate conditions is only one of the numerous problems that farming faces. ? Cities can get to the source of their emissions problems and consider strategic approaches to reduce air pollution.

 PROPOSED SYSTEM :

 • The purpose of the sensory devices are to collect data and send it to a robust cloud control platform. • The benefits of the IoT cloud, by assuring the interoperability of IoT data and contributions within the cloud, are optimized, which is why they enable high records for analytic purposes in regions involving smart energy, smart transportation, smart cities, and communications. • Water management software in smart cities is used for various purposes, including wastewater solutions, water tracking, and environmental restoration projects. • IoT packages are becoming more common in locations such as state-owned companies and nearby municipalities.

 ADVANTAGE :

 ? The IoT systems require the developement of extensible context models that enable the efficient representation for handling and distribution of the information in the information systems. ? We need to find out solutions that are “smart” which means they are efficient and feasible for economic growth of the city and society as well. ? As smart devices move outside of the cloud infrastructure environment, the IoT can increase efficiency, performance, and throughput. ? In cloud infrastructure, the IoT can benefit from increased efficiency, performance, and payload. ? IoT is a broad category that comprises of various adaptable and unusual devices with limited storage, power supplies, and performance capabilities.
