The Indian ‘smart cities’ have burgeoning population consuming the intelligent systems running over the city infrastructure and services. One critical set of such services is that of the emergency services involving Ambulances, Police and Firefighters. The services provided by these officials are often time critical, which makes their easy and quick availability a must have attribute. This paper proposes...
Vehicle tracking systems which receive the location data from tracking devices fitted in vehicles, visualize the location of vehicles on a web map and generate reports based on the location data. Tracking applications are commonly used for various purposes such as Fleet Management, Asset Tracking, Transit Tracking, Fuel monitoring etc. The GIS views of fleet management applications are limited to...
Since increasing citizen are associated with a major increase in street vehicles and air pollution, and air pollution exposure is a significant risk to urban dwellers. Spatially and temporally high-resolution air pollution measurement is highly concerned. Conventional people-centric sensing approaches is based on vertical and closed way, and measurement are based on private sensor accessing, gateway-based...
Traffic related problems include not just traffic congestion due to increase in vehicular density, but also difficulty for passage of emergency vehicles, violation of rules such as red signal jumps, vehicle breakdowns and accidents causing blockage of roads and loss of lives. Previously proposed systems for smart traffic management focus on vehicular density based traffic signal control and provision...
Public transport plays a crucial role in meeting a city's transportation needs. Moreover, it helps reduce traffic congestion and vehicular pollution. In India, buses are the preferred mode of transit due to their cheap fare and extensive routes. The major obstacles to their usage are: 1) overcrowding and 2) uncertainty in arrival time. Crowd estimation techniques using cameras, infrared lasers at...
A wide range of crowdsensing smart city applications utilize cloud computing to send, store and publish data. The amount of data sent to the cloud is relatively large and this introduces bandwidth, network and storage challenges. In this paper, we offer a smart city architecture that includes a data reduction service located in the proximity of the crowd. In this data reduction service, we propose...
In recent years, the Smart City concept has become popular for its promise to improve the quality of life of urban citizens. The concept involves multiple disciplines, such as Smart health care, Smart transportation, and Smart community. Most services in Smart Cities, especially in the Smart healthcare domain, require the real-time sharing, processing, and analyzing of Big Healthcare Data for intelligent...
We propose a cloud platform that utilizes real-time travel information, a mobile application and wearable devices for smart public transportation. This platform is capable of retrieving the required data automatically, reporting real-time public transportation information and providing users with personalized recommendations for using public transits. Novel features of this platform include the measure...
Vehicular Networks implementation has become a necessity in Smart Cities, due to the opportunistic network connectivity it offers within the city, where researches has began to focus more on Vehicular Networks, to improve the control over traffics and road safety inside the city; other researches on Smart Cities are more concerned about the transmission of the data collected by sensors, nodes, devices...
This paper presents a sound collection system that uses crowdsourcing to gather information for visualizing area characteristics. First, we developed a sound collection system to simultaneously collect physical sounds, their statistics, and subjective evaluations. We then conducted a sound collection experiment using the developed system on 14 participants. We collected 693,582 samples of equivalent...
Day by day in India we are moving towards technologies so everything started becoming advance. The proposal of smart cities in India has already came which include better way of urbanization. Smart meters are the key component in smart cities. Here we are going to discuss about how smart meters will be helpful in making our energy consumption as well as metering system smart. Concepts of smart cities...
The spread of projects focused on smart cities have grown in recent years. With this, the massive amount of data generated in these initiatives, creates a degree of complexity in how to manage all this information. In this paper we propose an infrastructure model for big data for a smart city projet. The goal of this model is to present the stages for the processing of data in the step of extraction,...
The Internet of Things is becoming a critical subject nowadays and along with an increasing adoption of ubiquitous computing devices security becomes an issue which must be approached in different application contexts. One notion that gains traction along with the IoT (Internet of Things) paradigm is the social context of embedded devices. This paper proposes a participatory verification security...
The structure of passenger counting and public transport tracking system of smart city and structural model based on the method of complex discrete systems simulation Petri nets are developed in the article. Reachability graph of the system states that allows to investigate the dynamics of the system is given. The functioning of the implemented system of passenger traffic and public transport tracking...
For some time, we have been working toward the “Realization of a Safe and Secure Society using ICT in Shiojiri-City, Nagano Prefecture.” This is a project comprised of two phases: information gathering, and dissemination of information. For information gathering, we are developing systems to confirm the whereabouts of children and the elderly, who are vulnerable in disasters, and systems to gather...
The increasing demand for highly sophisticated cloud services and the consequent worldwide increase in the number of data centers (DC), make the need for energy efficient operation of DCs more actual than ever. Additionally, in the context of smart city and smart grid integration, flexible DCs can play a key role toward acting as grid-stabilization factors. In this paper, a review of the available...
For the first time in the history of humanity, more them half of the population is now living in big cities. This scenario has raised concerns related systems that provide basic services to citizens. Even more, those systems has now the responsibility to empower the citizen with information and values that may aid people on daily decisions, such as related to education, transport, healthy and others...
The Web of Things is an active research field which aims at promoting Web standards and technologies adoption for handling smart things digital representations. In this context, many studies acknowledge that REST paradigm plays a decisive role, and this has prompted the emergence of systems for Web representation and management of real-world objects. However, objects exposure is only a first step...
In the post-9/11 world, fleet managers, government officials, public safety personnel, and other stakeholders have become concerned about the potential for attacks involving trucks, containers, or other elements of the global transportation infrastructure. The current smart city trend focuses on providing an intelligent, interoperable and secure environment for all citizens. The cloud based Student...
The SmartCity concept is becoming widely accepted and describes the usage of ICT for increased quality of life and also for a sustainable usage of natural resources. This paper describes a system architecture for monitoring of electrical energy consumption, and visualization of usage patterns to raise users' awareness of their energy usage which we field trialled over several months. The information...
