Ī smart city comprises a number of integrated components that enable its functioning and rendering of automated services to its citizens. Such a facility can be harnessed to enable the identification of available parking spots (rendered to a smart vehicle in real-time), identify emergency zones, which can be avoided by vehicles and assess threats from weather phenomena (including heavy rainfalls and tornado warnings). Smart city curb-side sensors can also be integrated with a central smart city facility comprising the cloud, drones, IoT sensors as well as smart vehicles, to facilitate a fully integrated platform of heterogeneous objects. Such live feeds of data can be transmitted by the drone to a central smart city cloud service center for further processing (can be routed via the drone’s Internet-connected ground controller). On the contrary, a drone can fly across a city’s aerospace and gather data from numerous locales to help the city administrators identify traffic congestion points and take necessary action to enable smooth traffic flow. For instance, monitoring of road traffic in a city grid through static cameras is limited by the scope of data collection. The benefits to both civilian as well as defence applications through adoption of drones are aplenty.
