CP4251 INTERNET OF THINGS

Domain specific IoTs

Introduction
The Internet of Things (IoT) applications span a wide range of domains Home Automation
Cities Environment, Energy, Retail, Logistics, Agriculture, Industry and Health & Lifestyle.

HOME AUTOMATION

Smart Lighting

It helps in saving energy by adapting the lighting to the ambient conditions and
switching on/off or diming the light when needed. Key enabling technologies for smart
lighting include solid state lighting(such as LEDs and IP enabled lights. Smart lightning
solutions for home achieve energy savings by sensing the human movements and their
environments and controlling the lights accordingly. Wireless enabled and Internet
connected lights can be controlled remotely from IoT applications such as mobile or web
applications.

Smart Appliances

Make the management easier and also provide status information to the users
remotely.
Home Network Routers:

All the Internet connected devices in homes these days, the network router continues
to be by far the most targeted in attacks . "Most Internet routers that are keystone to our
home network are riddled with security issues, which make them easy picking for hackers.
Most routers worldwide had default or basic username and password combinations, like
"admin" and “password” while others have they user address, birthday or name as
password. Because of this, most routers are vulnerable to simple password attacks, which is
basically an open invitation to malicious hackers.

2.1.4-Smoke/ Gas Detectors

Smoke detectors are installed in homes and buildings to detect smoke that is
typically an early sign of fire. Alerts raised by smoke detectors can be in the form of signals
to a fire alarm system. Gas detectors can detect the presence of harmful gases such as CO,
LPG etc., Smoke detector detects the smoke in the home and it sends signal to the control
unit that displays the smoke unit in display section and temperature sensor mentioned
above gives the temperature of the room and signals are send through IoT to main
controller just to control some activities of room

Smart Parking

To make the search for parking space easier and convenient for drivers. Smart parking are
powered by IoT systems that detect the no. of empty parking slots and send information
over internet to smart application backends. Smart parking management system can be used
to find the vacant location for a vehicle at different public places.
Smart Parking’s In-Ground Vehicle Detection Sensors are core technologies, playing a key
part in the Smart Parking solution that is revolutionizing how drivers in the malls and city
centers can find an available parking space. Wireless sensors are embedded into parking
spaces, transmitting data on the timing and duration of the space used via local signal
processors into a central parking management application. Smart Parking reduces
congestion, decreases vehicle emissions, lowers enforcement costs and cuts driver stress.
For effective deployment of smart parking technologies, each device needs to have a
reliable connectivity with the cloud servers.
Smart Lighting
It is for roads, parks and buildings can help in saving energy. With smart lighting,
city authorities can keep real-time tracking of lighting to ensure optimized illumination and
deliver demand-based lighting in different zones. Smart lighting also helps in daylight
harvesting and save energy by dimming out sectors with no occupancies For e.g. parking
lots can be dimmed during work hours and when a car is entering, it will be detected and
appropriate sectors can be illuminated, while others can be kept at diffused setting.
Structural Health Monitoring:
It uses a network of sensors to monitor the vibration levels in the structures such as
bridges and buildings. The data collected from these sensors is analyzed to assess the health
of the structures.
• By analyzing the data it is possible to detect cracks and mechanical breakdowns, locate
the damages to a structure and also calculate the remaining life of the structure.
• Using such systems, advance warnings can be given in the case of imminent failure of the
structure.
Surveillance
The video feeds from surveillance cameras can be aggregated in cloud based
scalable storage solution. The video feeds from surveillance cameras can be aggregated in
cloud-based scalable storage solutions.

Cloud-based video analytics applications can be developed to search for patterns of

Emergency Response:

IoT systems for fire detection, gas and water leakage detection can help in
generating alerts and minimizing their effects on the critical infrastructures. IoT systems
can be used for monitoring the critical infrastructure cities such as buildings, gas, and water
pipelines, public transport and power substations.
• IoT systems for critical infrastructure monitoring enable aggregation and sharing of
information collected from lager number of sensors.
Using cloud-based architectures, multi-modal information such as sensor data, audio, video
feeds can be analyzed in near real-time to detect adverse events.
• The alert can be in the form :
• Alerts sent to the public
• Re-rerouting of traffic
• Evacuations of the affected areas
