The continuous urbanization development in China over the years, coupled with the continuous migration of population to cities, has brought about profound changes in production methods, consumption behaviors, lifestyles, and values. At the same time, the negative impact is the scarcity of urban resources, environmental pollution, the complexity of urban livelihood issues, and the ceiling of development. What we can directly feel is that traffic congestion is becoming increasingly severe, medical and health care is not guaranteed, education resources are unbalanced, and so on.
The Internet of Things brings hope to alleviate the pains of urbanization process
The Internet of Things and cloud computing have brought about the third revolution in information technology, and smart cities aimed at improving people's livelihoods are expected to be realized with the help of these new technologies. The Internet of Things gives each object a unique identity, and they communicate and share data through powerful wired and wireless networks. The large amount of data generated by smart cities can be integrated, shared, analyzed, and configured through cloud computing. The Internet of Things gathers mainstream key technologies including perception, control, network communication, microelectronics, computers, software, embedded systems, microelectromechanical systems, and more.
IoT+smart city, infinite possibilities
From the perspective of national smart city construction projects, smart cities have already been implemented in cloud data centers, smart government, smart transportation, and smart healthcare
There have been many successful practical experiences in fields such as smart energy, smart buildings, smart environment, smart education, smart tourism, and smart finance. The following three areas are the most popular areas of concern in our livelihood field, and they are also smart city projects that we can personally feel the changes in.
intelligent transportation
The increasingly tight supply of urban transportation resources can be effectively solved through smart transportation. Smart transportation mainly includes the following nine fields: traffic management and planning, traveler information services, vehicle operation management, electronic toll collection, intelligent vehicles, emergency and safety, comprehensive transportation, automatic highways, and automotive mobile IoT.
Smart Healthcare
The problems of "difficult to see a doctor" and "expensive to see a doctor" are common feelings among everyone. How to balance and allocate scarce medical resources reasonably, so that "minor illnesses enter the community, major illnesses enter the hospital, and rehabilitation returns to the community"? Smart healthcare provides a solution based on electronic medical records and health records, breaking down information barriers between hospitals and fully mobilizing and balancing urban and rural medical resources. The construction of a smart healthcare system mainly includes four aspects: "medical cloud", digital hospitals, regional healthcare, and public health.
Smart Education
How to achieve resource and data sharing between schools, thereby improving the overall efficiency of teaching and research, office work, learning, and other aspects? The Internet of Things has given wings to smart education, and currently smart education
It has played a huge role in practical educational settings such as campuses, classrooms, and libraries.
Recently, the National Development and Reform Commission officially issued the "14th Five Year Plan for the Implementation of New Urbanization", further emphasizing the deepening of the people-centered new urbanization strategy and improving the quality of urbanization. How to build livable, resilient, innovative, smart, green, and humanistic cities in the future remains the theme of smart city development.
