Abstract:
Enabled by advances in sensor and networking technology, the “smart city” concept is being implemented in many important applications for optimizing living environments. Smart city implementations leverage Internet of Things networks to create ecosystems that seek to optimize the ecosystems in which they are deployed. In this thesis, we describe a proof-of-concept Internet of Things network implemented for a university campus, including what are the steps, challenges, and why it is necessary to utilize the idea of smart city to actively monitor the current environment. This thesis provides an overview of our own smart city implementation. Specifically, we describe three types of IoT sensors, namely sanitizer dispenser sensors, air quality monitoring sensors, and room occupancy sensors. We also evaluate the possibility for data fusion and discuss edge computing.
