7. Smart Cities – Desired Features
• Water Distribution
• Electricity distribution
• Land management
• Waster collection, segregation and recycling
• Public Transport management
• Traffic management
• PDS supply
• Street light management
• Sewage management
• Public utilities usage and management
• Government operations (RTO , tax collection, query addressal etc)
• Business operation (Business registration, operation etc)
• Security and Law and order control

8. Smart Cities – Future Possibilities
• Use of Visual analytics for many automated decision making

compatibility driven by data

9. Smart Cities – Existing Challenges
• Higher cost of installation an operation
• Higher cost of data communication using 2G
• Low battery life of devices
• Installation challenges in different localities for different utilities
• Lack of awareness from builders and households on need of Smart features
• Latest communication standards (NB-IoT, LoRA, 5G, BLE 5 ) not evolved and
adopted fully
• Old public infrastructure
• Poor maintenance of asset and infrastructures

10. Smart Cities –Challenges & Opportunities
• Handling E-Waste
• Data Security and Privacy
• Power demand for all the connected devices
Challenges
• Hardware design
• Opportunities in Data analysis
• Labour for maintenance and support
Opportunities
