Smart City is a need of Time
The smart city is NOT a synonym for a digital city.
What is it about?
This project is focusing on fault-tolerant smart city application designing. Under this work, I have paid attention to few explicit smart city applications like smart water, smart grid, smart parking, and smart agriculture. These smart areas or applications have been designed with fault-tolerant prototypes, frameworks, and protocols. For designing smart cities, many factors are required and technology is the backbone of all. Hence, through this project, I am developing several novel frameworks and fault-tolerant architectures for smart city applications. Most of my work is primarily based on the integration of wireless sensor networks and IoT technologies.
Why is it important?
The primary cause for smart city planning is overpopulation. In addition to that, rapid urbanization and is one of the biggest upcoming threats for the world. The lack of minimum requirements compels the rural people to be an urbanite. This "OVERNIGHT URBANITE" concept is the biggest challenge in front of policymaker, industrialist, researcher, academician, and existing urban citizens. As per human's right, anyone can stay at any place hence the only option which left is to design or redesign the cities into smart cities. So, before getting worst, we need to think and act on smart city projects to avoid future chaotic situations.
Perspectives
The "smart city" is a ubiquitous term that means there is no universal common definition exist for this socio-technical term. The definition of "smart city" varies from person to person, state to state, city to city, and country to country. Hence, before thinking of designing smart city plans one has to understand the smart city definition in association with the target area.
