For most of the people reading this article, chances are that you live in a city. In fact, more than 55% of all the people in the world live in cities and urban areas, a number which may increase to 70% in the future as urbanization increases and people migrate to the cities in search of jobs. But this means that cities need better planning and infrastructure if they have to be energy efficient and environmentally friendly to provide a good quality of life. In other words, cities need to become smart cities! This is possible using a combination of the Internet of Things with sensors collecting data and machine learning implementing the insights obtained from the data. IoT can be used in many ways to make cities more efficient ranging from managing the traffic, controlling air pollution, handling waste management, creating smart buildings, planning for natural disasters, etc. So let’s see how modern technologies combined with civic planning can result in smart cities that are more efficient and cost-effective. 1. Traffic Management It is important to control the traffic in cities otherwise there are huge traffic jams in popular places and totally empty streets otherwise. This also depends on the design and layout of the roads but it can be managed by having smart traffic lights. For example, the traffic lights should automatically adjust according to the volume of the traffic so that green lights should have a longer duration where there more traffic and shorter duration wh...

It may seem obvious now — The things in a city that can become “smart,” In addition to government involvement, the technology needed to enable a smart city application is both basic and foundational. Smart cities’ spending on technology is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate of 22.7 percent, jumping to $327 billion by 2025, up from $96 billion in 2019, What Is an IoT Architecture? An IoT application can be described, as The software company adds, “An example is an engine (the thing) sending temperature data. This data is used to evaluate whether the engine is performing as expected (the insight). The insight is used to proactively prioritize the maintenance schedule for the engine (the action).” That action operates within a framework known as an IoT architecture. “IoT system architecture is often described as a four-stage process in which data flows from sensors attached to ‘things’ through a network and eventually on to a corporate data center or the cloud for processing, analysis and storage,” writes Alec Jahnke, a sales engineer for Industrial Internet of Things firm “In the Internet of Things, a ‘thing’ could be a machine, a building or even a person. Processes in the IoT architecture also send data in the other direction in the form of instructions or commands that tell an actuator or other physically connected device to take some action to control a physical process,” Jahnke adds. “An actuator could do something as simple as turning on a light or as co...

But does it have an You might be wondering why either of those matter -- two reasons. First, organizations with an IoT architecture are significantly more successful than those without. Successful companies -- those that But that's not just any architecture, which brings us to the second reason it's important. Successful companies are more likely to adhere to an architecture that includes both a general-purpose IoT framework and a specific, customized version for the specific IoT project, whether that project is smart cities, industrial IoT or facilities IoT. What is IoT architecture? The best place to start is to define what an architecture is. Fundamentally, an architecture is a diagram or model that comprises two parts: the key technology components that make it up and the relationship between those components. Download 1 Download this entire guide for FREE now! In other words, an architecture is more than a list of necessary technology components, but it does start with that list. It goes on to define how these components interact or engage with each other. Some further definition is in order. By technology component, we mean a system, device or piece of software that delivers a specific technical capability . The cloud isn't a technology component, though it might be where a technology component is located -- e.g., a firewall in the cloud. Components can be hardware, software, or a mix of the two; and they can be defined at a high level (firewall) or a very granular l...

The management and analytics of big data generated from IoT sensors deployed in smart buildings pose a real challenge in today’s world. Hence, there is a clear need for an IoT focused Integrated Big Data Management and Analytics framework to enable the near real-time autonomous control and management of smart buildings. The focus of this paper is on the development and evaluation of the reference architecture required to support such a framework. The applicability of the reference architecture is evaluated by taking into account various example scenarios for a smart building involving the management and analysis of near real-time IoT data from 1000 sensors. The results demonstrate that the reference architecture can guide the complex integration and orchestration of real-time IoT data management, analytics, and autonomous control of smart buildings, and that the architecture can be scaled up to address challenges for other smart environments. An increasing number of Internet of Things (IoT) initiatives have been proposed in recent times to improve the quality of human life. Those initiatives pose real-time challenges which have been the focus of many researchers and practitioners in recent times [ Within a smart building, the number of sensors could range from few hundreds to thousands. Big data analytics and machine learning techniques can only be effective, if the data from sensors are effectively managed and are made available and ready for real-time analytics. This rea...

Smart cities are a hot topic these days, but not many people are talking about how they’re possible. IoT architecture is a key part of creating smart cities, so it’s important to understand how it works. Here, you’ll learn more about the Internet of Things and its architecture so you can better understand how it enables smart cities. What is IoT Architecture? The Internet of Things is more than just a network of information. With the myriad of information available, you need a way to pull it all together. Hardware, software, resources, and systems all must be consolidated into a single system framework. In order to do this, you’ll need IoT architecture. There are multiple parts to the IoT architecture and you should be aware of how they all work. Layer One: Things This layer consists of all the connected devices and sensors that are the collectors of data for the IoT system. Sensors may be set up on their own on surfaces throughout the city or they can be included within a device. However, sensors also require actuators to take action without human intervention. Layer Two: Gateways Data that has been collected by the sensors is filtered and managed, then stored in the cloud. There are massive amounts of data churning through the gateways at any given point in time, so it’s essential this layer be as efficient as possible. Gateways make it easier to use the in...
