Internet of Things: The Key Enabler of Smart Cities in India
Abstract
India is the biggest democratic and 10th, largest
economy in the world, even though standing 2nd position in the
global population and 70% of GDP is coming from urban
areas, hence the Indian cities are prime concern for the nation
development. In the quest for better quality of life and living
standards, people living in rural areas are expected to move to
urban locales. As this trend continues, more than half of
world’s population is expected to make cities their place of
dwelling. To meet this massive influx of rural masses into
urban areas, the cities world over need to equip themselves
with robust infrastructure. Based on these requirements, a host
of applications like, smart power generation & distribution,
smart traffic management, smart waste management &
utilization, smart governance, etc., are being developed. The
paper discusses few research issues and challenges related to
the development of IT infrastructure for smart cities. Research
efforts in this direction, however, appear to be application
centric.
