#1. Forthcoming Smart City
The sun rises in the morning and the windows open when there is clean air outside. If air pollution rises, it informs citizens about the air risk. If something goes wrong with a citizen’s health, each hospital recommends treatment or stands by with an ambulance. In case of the need for an ambulance or fire truck emergency dispatch, the message is sent directly to the vehicles in close proximity to resolve the situation as quickly as possible. Fire, citizens’ health, and natural pollution degree are checked real-time to transmit information. It measures power consumption and informs the public, and also controls plant operation time. This is what the is forthcoming Smart City looks like. In this post, I will introduce technologies that can be used in these cities.

#2. Cloud Monitoring
The most important part of a functioning Smart City is probably the monitoring. However, if you want to create and control a server for every device, even creating a server will require resources. This is where cloud services can help. Several cloud services such as Ubidots, Thing +, and Thing Plug can display input values to users and can help easily control each device. If these services are used in conjunction with various sensors, monitoring of the entire city could be possible.

#3. Smart Streetlight
If the streetlight is on while it’s still bright out, power is being wasted. Yet, if you set up the streetlight to turn on at a specific time, you still run the risk of wasting power because the length of day and night changes and the weather is unpredictable. However, a smart streetlight can solve this problem because it can detect the amount of light through an illumination sensor and turns itself on when necessary.

#4. Motor Control
Motors are used for fans, cars, even robots. Using these motors, you can create smart switches, smart pots, etc., that can be applied in real life. Furthermore, what if you adjust the angle of the solar panel along with the lights? Or what if you were to create smart barriers at the entrance of the road to control traffic smoothly?

#5. Measurement of power
The electricity bill can be high or low depending on the month. But what if you can see in real-time? We’d probably try to make more reasonable power consumption choices. Rational individual power consumption will eventually affect the electricity generator and over time adjust the generator drive time for efficient power generation.

#6. Measurement of Air pollution
For a clean smart city, a real-time grasp on air pollution is necessary. If we can show the state of air pollution at any particular time, it will help citizens’ health and smooth city operation.
