Working Example:
A city implements smart traffic management where traffic lights are
dynamically controlled using real-time data from sensors embedded on the
roads and in vehicles. When sensors detect high traffic volume on a
particular street, the traffic light turns green longer to allow vehicles to pass
through, thereby reducing congestion. This is integrated with a smart parking
system, where users can find available parking spots via an app, thus
reducing the time spent searching for parking and minimizing emissions.
Conclusion: The smart city concept improves urban life by increasing
efficiency, sustainability, and safety through the integration of IoT, data
analytics, and real-time decision-making.
