After merely emerging as a concept in the early 2000s, IoT has now become an important part of our everyday lives. IoT devices are now everywhere, be that on smartwatches, home assistants, smart lights, and whatnot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The growth of IoT has been such that forecasts suggest there will be <a href=\"https:\/\/www.statista.com\/statistics\/471264\/iot-number-of-connected-devices-worldwide\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">75 billion<\/a> IoT devices in use by 2025, a threefold increase from the number in 2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>IoT also has a crucial role to play in the development of smart cities. As the urban population grows, cities are facing new challenges like preventing environmental degradation, avoiding sanitation problems, migrating traffic congestion, and thwarting urban crime. IoT can create new experiences for city residents and make everyday living more comfortable and secure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this article, we&#8217;ll shed light on various IoT applications in smart city solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_17 counter-hierarchy counter-decimal ez-toc-grey\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\">Table of Contents<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><\/span><\/div>\n<nav><ul class=\"ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1\"><li class=\"ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2\"><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/dev.saasworthy.com\/blog\/use-cases-of-iot-in-smart-cities\/#Use_cases_of_IoT_in_smart_cities\" title=\"Use cases of IoT in smart cities\">Use cases of IoT in smart cities<\/a><ul class=\"ez-toc-list-level-3\"><li class=\"ez-toc-heading-level-3\"><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/dev.saasworthy.com\/blog\/use-cases-of-iot-in-smart-cities\/#1_City_transportation\" title=\"1.

Public transport means like buses, trains, and ferries can be particularly frustrating. Moreover, public transit isn&#8217;t as comfortable and convenient as a private vehicle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That is why a need for smooth and fast public transport is gaining popularity. The presence of IoT in public transit is changing things. Thanks to smart connected public transportation systems, the experience of passengers has improved significantly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It has become easier to get updates on the real-time movement of vehicles, notifications about routes, and even personalized travel news.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 id=\"a-real-time-vehicle-tracking\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">a. Real-time vehicle tracking<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>IoT allows passengers to get real-time information about where the vehicle is and how long will it take for a public transit vehicle to arrive at a particular stop. By using GPS devices installed in vehicles, data is transmitted back and forth between a vehicle and a central command center. This data is also relayed to passenger\u2019s internet-enabled mobile devices or to an electronic sign at transit stops.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 id=\"b-safety-and-accident-awareness\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">b. Safety and accident awareness<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>IoT-enabled transit can help passengers stay informed throughout the journey. In smart cities, the vehicles that get into accidents and wrecks can share their status and location with authorities in the central command center. In addition to keeping city officials in the loop, these notifications can also help other smart vehicles. These vehicles can then use this information to either slowdown, update journey time, or even reroute to avoid inconvenience for passengers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 id=\"c-personalized-travel-information\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">c. Personalized travel information<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Personalization is the future, not only for marketing but for almost every industry. IoT technology can enable transit authorities to send personalized travel information to passengers. For example, a transit agency can analyze a passenger&#8217;s travel habits and notify them ahead of time in case there is any re-routing or closure on their daily route.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"2-smart-lighting\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Smart_lighting\"><\/span><strong>2.

IoT-enabled smart lighting uses sensors, bulbs, and adapters to allow city authorities to control street and office lights from a central data center.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 id=\"a-daylight-harvesting\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">a. Daylight harvesting<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Smart lighting can help daylight harvesting systems to work in sync and reduce the need for electrical power. IoT can automate processes like setting brightness levels and daily usage tracking. This will significantly improve a city&#8217;s ability to stay green economically.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 id=\"b-load-management\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">b. Load management<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Street lights present municipal bodies with dynamic, ever-evolving requirements. Using smart lighting systems, city authorities can manage these complex, demanding loads. These lighting systems can be ideal for making the best use of site power during outages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 id=\"c-utility-improvements\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">c. Utility improvements<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Smart cities utilize intelligent connected lighting to offer appropriate street-level illumination based on specific situations. Using uniform, centralized control dashboards, urban authorities can automatically accomplish tasks once regarded too difficult to perform. Using programmable lights, cities can help guide late-night foot traffic after a big event or concert.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"3-video-surveillance-analytics\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Video_surveillance_analytics\"><\/span><strong>3.

This shows the growth of video surveillance. Smart cities too can utilize CCTV cameras and analytics to detect specific situations like crimes, road accidents, potential threats, etc. This can be really beneficial in cities that are highly crowded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Take the example of Cape Town in South Africa. The city introduced a License Plate Recognition solution that helped make the city much safer. Up to 300,000 cars were monitored per hour. This led to a drop of 64% in the crime rate in the city.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"4-waste-management\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Waste_management\"><\/span><strong>4.

It includes optimizing waste collection schedules based on tracking waste levels while also providing route optimization and operational analytics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The waste containers have embedded sensors that gather data about waste levels in a container. After reaching a certain threshold, the sensors send a notification to the central command as well as the waste truck driver&#8217;s mobile app.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Consider Chicago as an example. The city officials used sensor-equipped dumpsters and linked its data to predictive analytics tools. This enabled the city to become 20% more effective at managing waste.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"5-flood-water-level-monitoring\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_Floodwater_level_monitoring\"><\/span><strong>5.

In highly-populated areas like cities, this can be crucial for taking timely preventive measures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let&#8217;s take the example of La Emilia in Buenos Aires, Argentina. In 2017, about 75% of the town&#8217;s population was forced to evacuate because of flooding caused by the local river. The government then implemented a system based on a wireless sensor platform that offers real-time information about the condition of the river. Moreover, collecting long-term statistics helps mitigate future risks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"conclusion\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Conclusion\"><\/span><strong>Conclusion<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It makes practical sense to adopt connected tech in densely populated urban areas.
