Smart City with Internet of Things

Abstract

People living in localities much near to highway suffer to air pollution[9] than the people residing far a away from highways. In this paper, an idea is proposed of installing air purifiers to street lights which will get switched on /off automatically depending on the levels of some gases present in the atmosphere. At the same time the street lights too will switched on /off depending on the sunlight. Thus by reducing human intervention in monitoring these systems at the same reducing the wastage of power when they go unnoticed. Since its human tendency to forget or it’s the irresponsibility which keeps the street light on even during day time. Since vehicles usage has increased to a great extent, the gases emitted by vehicles i.e. carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides, sulphur dioxide, hydro carbons and many toxic gases content in the atmosphere has increased to a larger extent [12[13] . Thus by leading to a situation by reducing the fresh air levels in the atmosphere and causing the people to suffer with lung and breathing problems. Internet of Things (IoT) which played a major role in bringing out many smart systems [3][5][7] is also behind this proposed idea.
