Development of Smart Cities with Fog Computing and Internet of Things

Abstract

In construction of smart cities, Internet of Things and Fog computing have a crucial role to play which requires the need for management and exchange of large amount of information. Both Internet of Things as well as Fog computing are two predominant fields that have emerged in recent years to enable the development of transportation, tourism, industries as well as business in a proficient manner. Hence the introduction of a smart city will require proper study as well as ways to improve the strength’s of the city using technological advancement. This will also enhance the strength of city in many fronts. In this paper, we have examined the positive aspects of fog computing using an IoT architecture that is integrated with fog computing in order to address the issues of network scalability and big data processing. Accordingly, the architecture of the IoT system is built such that the smart city will be able to function in a more efficient manner by means of network transmission, information processing and intelligent perceptions.
