The Internet of Things (IoT) is an emerging paradigm that combines several technologies. IoT provides the interconnection of physical devices for exchanging information among them and provides services to the users. The urban environment is susceptible to various kinds of noise from different sources. Therefore, a system is needed to monitor the urban environment’s noise level. NoiseAware is a noise monitoring system for smart cities. NoiseAware monitors the noise levels of a particular location and sends an alert to the competent bodies to operate on site when the level reaches the allowable threshold. According to the literature review conducted, we did not find any work related to noise monitoring that has systems integration, accords real-time requests, and uses more than one communication protocol. NoiseAware has considerable service availability (approximately 81%) for system users, and the load tests show it has relevant request capability.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
