Introduction – Applications of IoT
Home Automation
Home Automation
• Smart Lighting
• Control lighting by remotely (mobile or web applications)
• Smart Appliances
• Provide status information to the users remotely
• Intrusion Detection
• Use security cameras and sensors (PIR sensors and door sensors)
• Detect intrusions and raise alerts
• The alerts form: an SMS or an email sent to the user
• Smoke/Gas Detectors
• Use optical detection, ionization, or air sampling techniques to detect the smoke
• Gas detectors can detect harmful gases
• Carbon monoxide (CO)
• Liquid petroleum gas (LPG)
• Raise alerts to the user or local fire safety department
Smart lighting
• Smart lighting for homes helps in saving energy by switching
on/off the light when needed.
• Smart lighting for home achieve energy saving by sensing
the human movement and their environment and
controlling the light accordingly.
Smart appliances
• Smart appliances make the management easier and also
provide status information to the user remotely.
• Smart washer, dryer can be controlled remotely and notify
when the washing/ drying is complete.
Intrusion detection
Smoke detector
• Smoke detector are installed in home and building to detect smoke
that is typically an early sign of fire.
• Gas detector can detect the presence of harmful gases.
Cities
Cities
• Smart Parking
• Detect the number of empty parking slots
• Send the information over the internet and accessed by smartphones
• Smart Roads
• Provide information on driving conditions, traffic congestions, accidents
• Alert for poor driving conditions
• Structural Health Monitoring
• Monitor the vibration levels in the structures (bridges and buildings)
• Advance warning for imminent failure of the structure
• Surveillance
• Use the large number of distributed and internet connected video surveillance cameras
• Aggregate the video in cloud-based scalable storage solutions
Environment
Environment
• Weather Monitoring
• Collect data from several sensors (temperature, humidity, pressure, etc.)
• Send the data to cloud-based applications and storage back-ends
• Air Pollution Monitoring
• Monitor emission of harmful gases (CO2, CO, NO, NO2, etc.)
• Factories and automobiles use gaseous and meteorological sensors
• Integration with a single-chip microcontroller, several air pollution sensors, GPRS-modem, and a GPS module
• Noise Pollution Monitoring
• Use a number of noise monitoring stations
• Generate noise maps from data collected
• Forest Fire Detection
• Use a number of monitoring nodes deployed at different locations in a forests
• Use temperature, humidity, light levels, etc.
• Provide early warning of potential forest fire
• Estimates the scale and intensity
• River Floods Detection
• Monitoring the water level (using ultrasonic sensors) and flow rate (using the flow velocity sensors)
• Raise alerts when rapid increase in water level and flow rate is detected
Structural health monitoring system
• The process of implementing a damage detection is called SHM.
• SHM maintenance any structure like building and bridges.
• It use for damage detection, identification and prevent of structure from natural
disaster like earth quake and rain.
