Abstract

By embracing the potential of IoT and smartphones, traditional cities can be transformed to smart cities. The success of such smart city mission is firmly vested in populace and thus it should have a bottom-up nature, initiated by the citizens. This paper focuses on the design and development of a unified framework, which can provide a platform to empower all the applications across different dimensions of urban life in a smart city. The aim of this framework is to connect citizens, data, knowledge and services related to IoT as well as smartphone based applications. Here, we categorize all the applications for the smart city in three representative types, viz. IoT based, IoT and smartphone based and smartphone as IoT based applications. We have also developed and tested one prototype following this architecture for each of these three representative category type, i.e, IoT based smart classroom, IoT and smartphone based air quality monitoring system and only smartphone based noise monitoring system to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed framework for the smart city scenario.
