  • improve operational efficiency,
  • share information with the public,
  • provide a better quality of government service and citizen welfare.

A smart city is a technology that increases citizens’ well-being, awareness, and safety. Some of the important aspects of a smart city are:

  • Smart Transportation
  • Smart Education
  • Smart Healthcare

The research problems pertaining to the various aspects of the smart city will be explored and solved.

Research Application

Smart Education

Smart education may be referred to as using technology to enhance education. Some of the problems in smart education are as follows.

  • Find approaches to detect misconduct during online examinations through image processing and machine learning
  • Automated Time-table generation for classroom teaching and examination schedule
  • Assistive technology to assist students with hearing disabilities with speech-text conversion
  • Assistive technology to assist students with visual disabilities with automated image captioning
  • Assistive technology to assist students with physical disabilities with speech-text conversion speech-text conversion and image synthesis

Smart Transportation

Smart transportation relies on technology to improve transportation in a smart city. Some significant problems in smart transportation involve:

  • Assistive vision in foggy and rainy conditions
  • Using multi-modal data to prevent road accidents
     

Smart Healthcare

Smart healthcare is a health service system that uses technology such as wearable devices, IoT, and mobile internet to assess the physical and mental health conditions of an individual. Some potential applications of smart healthcare involve:

  • Telemonitoring of lung volumes
  • Non-contact estimation of stress levels
