Study Notes

Internet of Things (IoT) Applications in Smart Cities

IoT sensors are used in traffic lights, roadways, and vehicles to gather data on traffic patterns, congestion, and accidents
This data is used to optimize traffic flow, reduce congestion, and improve road safety
IoT sensors installed in parking spaces detect when a spot is occupied, transmitting this data to a central server
This guides drivers to available spots, reducing congestion and search time
IoT-enabled cameras and sensors monitor public spaces for threats like suspicious activity or unattended bags
Sensors in garbage cans and recycling bins monitor fill levels, optimizing waste collection routes and reducing costs
IoT sensors installed in buildings monitor energy usage and optimize consumption
IoT sensors in water distribution systems monitor water quality, detect leaks, and optimize water usage

Remote Monitoring

IoT-based smart city solutions manage utilities
Residents track and control resource consumption
Utility companies can notify households and dispatch specialists in case of leakages or failures
Sensors are installed on water grids to monitor quality and trigger notifications for leaks or chemical changes
The same technology is utilized for measuring air quality in polluted areas and recommending improvements

Public Transportation

Traffic operators collect data from multiple sources to analyze usage patterns, optimize safety and timeliness, while reducing wait times
Data collected helps enhance the travel experience for citizens

Smart Cities Examples

Healthcare Examples (IoT)

Remote patient monitoring: Automated collection of health metrics (heart rate, blood pressure, temperature) from patients
Glucose monitoring: Continuous, automatic monitoring of glucose levels, eliminating manual record-keeping and alerts for problematic levels
Heart rate monitoring: Small IoT devices for continuous heart rate monitoring without wires.
Mood-aware IoT devices: Track mental health indicators (heart rate, blood pressure) to provide insights into mental state.
Ingestible sensors: Collect data from digestive and other systems in a less invasive way.
Connected contact lenses: Collect data passively, non-intrusively.
Robotic surgery: Small internet-connected robots allow less invasive and faster healing procedures

Technology affects basic human behaviors (decisions).
Social media use influences knowledge and learning acquisition.
Cyberbullying is a serious social media phenomenon.
Internet profile (online identity, persona): Profile created by people on online platforms, communities, or websites, in social media.

Netiquette

Combination of internet and etiquette
Provides how people should act online
Outlines policies for features like World Wide Web (WWW), email services, file transfer protocol (FTP), chat rooms, and instant messaging
