Scalable IoT Solutions for Urban Resource Management
Abstract
The rapid urbanization and population growth in cities necessitate innovative solutions for effective resource management. The Internet of Things (IoT) has emerged as a transformative technology that can facilitate comprehensive management of urban resources such as water, energy, waste, and transportation. This research paper presents a novel framework for implementing scalable IoT solutions tailored for urban environments, addressing critical challenges including increased device numbers, data volume, and processing requirements while ensuring system reliability and performance. The proposed methodology incorporates a systematic architecture, scalability features, advanced data processing methods, and robust security measures. Performance metrics, experimental test results, and comparative analyses with existing solutions demonstrate the efficacy and viability of our framework.
