1. Smart Irrigation System for Agricultural Field
Objectives
 Design a smart irrigation system using IOT devices and soil
moisture sensors.
 To determine moisture level of soil.
 If level goes below a threshold , release the flow of water through
irrigation pipes
 To collect data of moisture levels in the clouds and analyze it to
plan watering schedules

16. Smart Cities

17. Smart Cities
• Smart Lighting
Dynamically controlled and adaptive to ambient
conditions.
Set according to foggy, cloudy, festival days

18. Smart Cities
• Smart Roads:
Roads equipped with sensors can provide
information on driving conditions
Travel time estimates and help in avoiding traffic
congestions

19. Smart Cities
• Structural health Monitoring:
Monitor the vibration levels in structures such as
bridges, dams, building, towers etc
Can detect cracks, mechanical breakdowns ,
damages to a structure and estimate life span of
structure

20. Smart Cities
Smart Parking
 Finding Parking spaces during rush hours
 IoT based smart parking system detects the number
and location of empty parking space.

21. Smart Cities
Smart Energy optimization:
 One of the strengths of IoT is its direct application for measures of sustainability
and energy efficiency.
 Sensor infrastructure deployed in a city allows knowing how, where and when the
energy is being consumed.
 All this information allows generating different consumption profiles for the city
objects (lighting, transport and buildings) and through this knowledge, to optimize
consumption avoiding waste.

22. Smart Cities
Surveillance
Emergency Response
Water and waste management
