The Role of Green Internet of Things (G-IoT) and Big Data in Making Cities Smarter, Safer and More Sustainable

Abstract

Abstract:The world population growth and increased demands for limited goods consequently imply the necessity for more efficient use of materials and resources. As the novel advances in Information and Communication Technology (ICT) have totally revolutionized the numerous areas, their utilization at the same time possesses a negative influence on the human health and the environment. For that reason, the society is going toward the greener future where the usage of raw and non-renewable materials and resources will be reduced while energy consumption and pollution will be decreased. As ICT can be considered as a tool for addressing environmental problems, Green Internet of Things (G-IoT) takes one of the most important roles on the way to create a green and sustainable place for living. Big data analysis is essential in achieving valuable insights from voluminous and various GIoT generated data. The obtained knowledge enables easier decision-making, forecasting and other activities regarding smart city services, and in return contributes to a continuous improvement of G-IoT technologies. Hence, even the vision of smart and sustainable cities has already become a reality, the G-IoT approaches and insights achieved from Big data analysis will make cities significantly smarter, safer and more sustainable. This paper tries to summarize the role of novel technology advancements and Big data' achievements in the process of creating cities where the quality of life will be enhanced alongside reduced pollution and more efficient utilization of goods. It has been shown that G-IoT and Big data operating symbiotically successfully contribute to the fruition of smart and sustainable city vision.

Nanocellulose and chitosan based films as low cost, green piezoelectric materials

“…Such applications are based on the piezoelectricity of these materials, which means they have the ability to develop electrical charges under mechanical stress (Safari & Janas, 1997). As an example, the increased amount of smart devices in the Internet of Things (IoT) has raised concerns about the associated waste and emission generation (Maksimovic, 2017). Using biodegradable piezoelectric membranes for local energy production could power the IoT in an environmentally and economically sound fashion compared to non-degradable materials or batteries.…”

Security-aware fair transmission scheme for 802.11 based cognitive IoT

“…The method also uses concept of adaptive channelization to address effective spectrum management. Authors of [6] introduced the concept of Green Internet of Things (G-IoT) as one of the most important roles on the way to create a green and sustainable place for living with the big data analysis. It is essential in achieving valuable insights from voluminous and various G-IoT generated data in the process of creating cities where the quality of life toward the fruition of smart and sustainable city vision.…”

“…With the development of cognitive IoTs (CIoTs) [1] with sensors and big data analysis [2], real time and robust applications are exponentially attended all over the world [3][4][5][6][7][8]. Even though those techniques were famous with the reflection of IETF standards such as Orchestra [9], RPL (IPv6 Routing Protocol for Low power and Lossy Networks) [10], TSCH (Time Slotted Channel Hopping MAC) [11] and COAP enough years ago, the exact and strict solutions for secure wireless transmission of cognitive IoTs were not provided in the research and other areas in practice.…”

Feasibility Study of Photovoltaic - Diesel Hybrid Power System as Renewable Energy Source

“…Renewable energy process can be categorized as green ICT (Information and Communication Technology). While ICT can be also considered as a tool to address environmental problems, and as a part of the green Internet of Things (G-IoT) for energy harvesting devices and communications in their role to find an important way in creating green and sustainable place for living [2].…”
