INVESTIGATING THE INTERPLAY OF EDGE COMPUTING AND IOT IN SMART CITIES

Abstract

Abstract- The integration of edge computing and IoT technologies is crucial for creating intelligent and advanced systems in urban environments. The Internet of Things (IoT) and edge computing work together to create intelligent urban areas. This chapter explores the significance of edge computing and IoT in improving urban living, examining fundamental concepts, architectural models, and implementation methodologies. Smart cities impact various aspects, including energy-related technologies, management, public safety, healthcare, environmental monitoring, intelligence, and transportation systems. Key considerations for integrating edge computing and IoT in smart cities include infrastructure requirements such as security, privacy, and scalability. By positioning storage closer to the edge, these technologies can enhance performance, reliability, and efficiency, while also enhancing security in smart city applications.
