Abstract-Internet of things (IoT) is a technology that has the potential to revolutionize your lifestyle, from
transportation to health, from entertainment to communication with government. This wonderful opportunity also
presents many significant challenges. The number of devices and the pace of that growth meet the challenges to our
security and independence as we begin the battle to develop policies, standards and administrations that shape these
developments without bringing innovation. This paper discusses the evolution of IoT, its various definitions and
some of its key areas. Security and privacy considerations and further challenges are discussed in general and in the
context of these applications.
In recent years, the Internet of Things (IoT) has established considerable research attention. The IoT is
measured as future of the internet. In future, IoT will play a essential role and will transform our living styles,
standards, as well as business models. The practice of IoT in different applications is predictable to increase rapidly
in the upcoming years. The IoT permit billions of devices, peoples, and services to connect with others and swap
over the information.
The devices that have turn out to be part of the IoT facilitate the storage, analysis, monitoring, and sharing
of vast quantities of data with other networked devices and users. Users' privacy is threatened because of their
limited control and choice over the collection, retention, and distribution of their data. The risk of an insufficient
legal framework regulating the IoT requires urgent action in legal analysis and may require new approaches in
legislation. Due to the increased usage of IoT devices, the IoT networks are horizontal to various security attacks.
The exploitation of efficient security and privacy protocols in IoT networks is tremendously desirable to make
certain access control, authentication, confidentiality, and integrity, among others. Wireless communication
networks are an exceedingly prone to security threats.
The major applications of wireless communication networks are in military, healthcare, retail,
transportations and business. These systems use wired, cellular, or adhoc networks. Wireless sensor networks,
vehicular networks and actuator networks have received a great concentration in society and industry. The main
objectives of IoT are the configuration of a smart environment and self-conscious independent devices such as
smart items, smart health, smart living, and smart cities among others. In this paper - IoT applications, analysis of
different attacks and their possible solutions, brief overview of security requirements followed by security threats in
IoT are discussed, and also an extensive comprehensive study on security & privacy issues in IoT networks is
provided. The applications of IoT in home automation, industries, and in medical field are discussed in this chapter.

Introduction:
The new technology has given users the ability to check the security status of their home from
a smartphone, launch their car with a mobile phone app and open and close their garage door
remotely from anywhere in the world. These technologies are becoming part of what is known as
the Internet of Things (IoT).
In its most basic sense, IoT refers to the connection of everyday objects with the Internet. It
monitors real time and collects huge amounts of information about property, people, plants and
animals. The Internet of Things (IoT) is a development that can make a dramatic difference in our
lives. It is known as a competent that enhances efficiency in many areas including transportation
and logistics, health and manufacturing.
IoT will assist in process optimization through advanced data tics analytics and will be a
catalyst for new markets by leveraging its cyber physical features, with the emergence of cross-
cutting applications and services.
Evaluation of IoT:
The idea of connecting ‘things’ to the Internet goes far beyond the use of the term ‘Internet of
Things’, In the early 1980's, students at Carnegie Mellon University installed photogenes connected
to the Internet on a machine that sold soft drinks, allowing them to count the number of cans
delivered. This gave anyone access to the internet to determine how many drinks were delivered
and how many were left.
John Romkey and Simon Hackett introduced the Internet-connected toaster in 1990, before
the first webpage was created. Romky's presentation at the Intern Conference in 1990 showed the
Internet-connected Sunbeam Deluxe Automatic Radiant Control Toaster, and as a result it emerged.
There is a challenge at last year’s Intern president Dan Lynch, Romkey’s conference. Lynch had
promised the Romkey Centre stage if he won the tournament. The toaster was connected using TCP
/ IP and had a simple networking management protocol management information base (SNMP
MIB) controller; one of its functions is to turn electricity on or off.

Growth of IoT:
There has been a rapid increase in the number of devices connected to the Internet. Many
analysts, including Cisco and Ericsson, estimate that 50 billion devices will be connected to the
Internet by 2020. Of course, it’s hard to say with confidence these predictions, and both have now
revised their predictions down. Evans now estimates at Stringifa that by 2021 Ericsson has
projected 28 billion.
One reason why it is difficult to predict growth is that there are no consistent statistics for
the number of devices connected to the Internet today. Using the same definition not only shows
significant differences in statistics but also affects the problem of different explanations of IoT.
Some statistics clearly point out the differences between machine-to-machine (M2M) and IoT
devices, in GSMA, whose analysis of M2M focuses on cellular M2M connectivity and does not
include computer devices in consumer electronics such as smartphones, e-readers. . , Tablets, as
well as other types of M2M connection technology that support the wider universe of the Internet
of Things (IoT). Machine Research's 2015 report predicts that the number of M2M connections will
increase from 201 billion in 2012 to 2 billion in 2024 billion in 2016. 9 billion and IHS estimate
17.6 billion. A similar study by Juniper Research estimates that there are 16 billion devices.
Related Risk with IoT:
IoT creates a massive attack surface by creating more access points on the Internet that need to
be safely monitored. The higher the attack surface, the more vulnerability that can be used,
therefore, bringing new equipment online into the home, office or other areas poses many new
risks. In 2016 new, Europol identified these new threats: 'With more and more goods connected to
the Internet and the creation of new types of critical infrastructure, we can expect to see targeted
attacks on existing and emerging infrastructure, including new types of blackmailing and ransom
schemes, Data theft, physical injury and potential death and new types of botnets.
These new devices that connect property, people, plants and animals to the Internet are
vulnerable to hackers. Hackers can gain unauthorized access to IoT devices due to their set up; That
is, these devices are connected, are Internet-enabled, and lack the necessary protective measures.
Because of this vulnerability, personal information collected by IoT devices can be misused.
Specifically, if a device collects and stores personal, medical and / or financial data, a hacker may
steal this information to facilitate identity theft.
Implication of IoT [Internet of Things] in Public Projects
ISBN: 978-81-948555-1-4 6
The IoT device has been compromised The Denial of Service (DOS) attack 13 can be used to
launch or it can be used to spread malware (i.e. malicious software). The cases in the case are
medical equipment. Even though medical device manufacturers do not consider hacking and
malware in the design of their products, such devices are becoming internet-enabled. These devices
can be controlled remotely and the settings of this device can be changed remotely.
These devices additionally have backdoors that make them vulnerable to potential life-
threatening attacks in the event that existing settings are changed. Specifically, attackers who know
the device's default passwords can exploit the backend and change critical settings or completely
replace the official firmware. Depending on the equipment, these actions can cause serious illness,
injury and even death. This makes it clear that the safety of this device is paramount.
IoT devices or devices that do not have proper safeguards e.g. Antivirus and antispyware
software, firewalls and intrusion detection systems / intrusion protection systems can threaten the
entire IoT system. Endpoints that are poorly protected thus become a gateway for cyber techs to
take these devices offline, modify their settings, or render them unusable for a period of time.
Inadequate protection of IoT devices and the data collected, stored and transferred by them can lead
to data breaches leading to the theft or compromise of individuals' data.
Securities of IoT:
If security issues are pervasive in IoT devices identified as unsafe, class action and product
liability lawsuits may be filed against IoT device manufacturers by affected customers. Other IoT
stakeholders can also be held accountable; this will be determined by their level of responsibility
for the event that caused the damage or incited the loss. In addition, companies in the USA may be
charged under unfair or fraudulent practices that adversely affect consumer safety and privacy
under the Federal Trade Commission Act 1919.
According to the U.S. Federal Trade Commission, TREND net’s ‘practice can cause
significant harm or cause harm to consumers or to customers who are not in the best interests of the
competition and cannot be avoided by consumers.
In its enforcement action, the U.S. Federal Trade Commission persuaded TRND Net to loosen
security practices and mislead consumers by claiming their IoT devices were safe. In fact, these
devices contained faulty software, exposing the private lives of hundreds of customers; In
Implication of IoT [Internet of Things] in Public Projects
ISBN: 978-81-948555-1-4 7
particular, the hacker took advantage of flaws in the software and posted links to a live feed of
about 700 consumer cameras.
The use of active firewalls and comprehensive security systems is required to protect IoT
devices and detect threats. An example of such software is Bit Defender. Bit Defender is currently
promoting one of its products, the Bit Defender box, to protect everyday objects connected to the
home network from malicious software. In addition, to protect IoT devices, general security
practices and standards are required.
However, not every IoT device requires the same level of security. ‘Equipment that collects
sensitive information, poses a physical safety or security risk, or interacts with other devices or
networks in a way that enables intruders to access those devices or networks, instead of just room
temperature control devices, includes miles or calories’. According to this argument, Article 1 of
the EU Data Protection Guidelines states that the level of security should be conducive to the risks
posed by the information selected, stored and transmitted.
Validation and Identity Management:
Authentication in IoT is important, as without proper authentication privacy, integrity and
system availability can be compromised. This is because if an adversary is able to authenticate as a
legitimate user, they will have access to any data that the user has and the user can view, modify
and delete or restrict availability in that way.
Identifying and identifying users in IoT is an important challenge. Currently, username /
password pairs are the most common form of authentication and user identification in electronic
systems, although shared keys can be used in other ways, such as digital certificates or biometric
credentials. However, showing IoT as ubiquitous will eliminate most of the physical interactions
that provide usernames and passwords.
The ability to take advantage of a single-sign-on (SSO) system in a traditional electronic
environment can be useful, allowing users to authenticate only once to interact with different
services. Systems like Shibboleth Open ID and Oath were not designed to complement the IoT
system, and although work is being done to optimize Ooth, IoT cannot provide comprehensive SSO
in the environment. Citizens in IoT environments may wish to choose their identity provider, and
using existing protocols is challenging.

The lifecycle of an IoT system has many perspectives based on the roles of those making,
operating, and using the system. Below Table 8.1 summarizes these various roles and associated

Privacy Challenges in IoT:
Privacy is seen as a major concern in IoT and IoT has provided a wealth of data, not just to the
World Wide Web, but to ordinary citizens, groups and organizations. It can be used to establish
Implication of IoT [Internet of Things] in Public Projects
ISBN: 978-81-948555-1-4 10
things that interest us, where we go, and our purpose. This may lead to better opportunities for
improved services, but it should be weighed against our desire for privacy.
It is very important for customers to trust the services they invest in in order to respect their
privacy. Trust is a fundamental factor in the formation of any relationship and it is an important
factor in adopting new technology. People will not use new technologies unless they have sufficient
confidence in the protection of privacy, security and safety, and this is true in complex systems like
IoT.
Purposefully, there are billions of IoT devices; Each of them is designed to store, store and
communicate data. This data can be easily used for real time information about a person / her health
and finances, locations, contacts, habits, behaviours and activities. In addition to disclosing this
type of personal information, this data can also be used to detect changes in individuals' routines
and unusual behaviours.
Finally, IoT devices create an environment where each person's information can be stored,
analysed, monitored, made available, and shared with other networking devices and potentially
other users. As IoT devices, people, and companies collect, process, store, and exchange
information about individuals, there is a significant opportunity to create a detailed account of the
private lives of millions of users.
Privacy is an essential human right and is protected in domestic, regional and international
human rights instruments. An essential element of privacy is the ability to keep certain things
secret. IoT users may have difficulty ‘keeping things secret’ because ‘full development of IoT
capabilities can strain the current possibilities of unknown services and generally limit the
possibility of no one noticing’.
Another essential element of privacy is the right to control the information held by others
and access about oneself. Users may have difficulty controlling their information because
communications and data exchanges between IoT devices can be 'triggered' automatically as well
as by default, without anyone realizing it '. To protect personal data, self-regulation is advocated by
consumers.
The person should be able to control and choose what data is collected, who stores it and
when it happens. IoT is basically a repository for every aspect of a person’s life. At the very least,
Implication of IoT [Internet of Things] in Public Projects
ISBN: 978-81-948555-1-4 11
‘applications should facilitate the exercise of the right to personal information, access, modification
and deletion data collected by IoT devices’.
In addition, consent to the use of an IoT device must be provided by users and the data
collected by the device is ‘informed’ and free. Users should not be penalized or denied access to the
capabilities of their devices if they decide not to use the device or certain services. ‘Currently, users
may be fined or denied access to important services for choosing not to 'opt in' or 'consent' to the
collection of their data.
In the U.S. automotive industry, ‘consumers who do not approve of data collection may be
denied access to valuable vehicle features. For example, the only way consumers can turn on
navigation features in their vehicles is to share geographic location information for marketing
purposes.
Analysis of Different Types of Attacks and Possible Solutions
The IoT is facing various types of attacks including active attacks and passive attacks that
may easily disturb the functionality and abolish the benefits of its services. In a passive attack,an
intruder just senses the node or may steal the information nbut it never attacks physically. However,
the active attacks disturb the performance physically.
These active attacks are classified into two further categories that are internal attacks and
external attacks. Such vulnerable attacks can prevent the devices to communicate smartly. Hence
the security constraints must be applied to prevent devices from malicious attacks.
Different types of attack, nature/behaviour of attack and threat level of attacks are discussed
in this section. Different levels of attacks are categorized into four types according to their
behaviour and propose possible solutions to threats/attacks.
1) Low-level attack: If an attacker tries to attack a network and his attack is not successful.
2) Medium-level attack: If an attacker/intruder or an eavesdropper is just listening to the medium
but don’t alter the integrity of data.
3) High-level attack: If an attack is carried on a network and it alters the integrity of data or
modifies the data.
4) Extremely High-level attack: If an intruder/attackerattacks on a network by gaining unauthorized
accessand performing an illegal operation, making the networkunavailable, sending bulk messages,
or jammingnetwork.The Table I presents different types of attacks, their threatlevels, their
nature/behaviour, and possible solution to handlethese attacks.

Conclusion
The main emphasis of this paper was to highlight majorsecurity issues of IoT particularly,
focusing the security attacksand their countermeasures. Due to lack of security mechanismin IoT
devices, many IoT devices become soft targets andeven this is not in the victim’s knowledge of
being infected.In this paper, the security requirements are discussed suchas confidentiality,
integrity, and authentication, etc. In thissurvey, twelve different types of attacks are categorized
aslow-level attacks, medium-level attacks, high-level attacks, andextremely high-level attacks
along with their nature/behaviouras well as suggested solutions to encounter these attacks
arediscussed.
Considering the importance of security in IoT applications,it is really important to install
security mechanism in IoTdevices and communication networks. Moreover, to protectfrom any
intruders or security threat, it is also recommendednot to use default passwords for the devices and
read thesecurity requirements for the devices before using it for the firsttime. Disabling the features
that are not used may decrease thechances of security attacks. Moreover, it is important to
studydifferent security protocols used in IoT devices and networks.
Not a day goes by during the final editing of this paper that another revelation in the media,
either a news report of stolen information or a new product or service, does not drop right into one
of our hot button items. What we do not see is the concerted effort to address the fundamental
weaknesses of a new set of technical capabilities that is being unleashed into a public that is still
challenged in maintaining the security of home laptops, pads, and smart phones.
This paper offers market-available solutions to deal with the lack of identity, access, and
trust for IoT products and services; proposes new data-computing models to address the scalability,
complexity, and management of the environment; and elaborates on the concept of security by
design to meet the requirements for device management. Although this paper advises IoT makers to
seek new ways and methods to adapt their offerings to the new ecosystem and move away from
traditional IT security practices, more research is needed on the topic.
The responsibility for implementing proper security solutions does not depend on a single
party of the IoT ecosystem, but rather on all the actors involved, from silicon suppliers to
manufacturers, to developers, to lawmakers, and the final customer. Mitigating risks associated
with security breaches are possible, if security receives consideration from early product planning
Implication of IoT [Internet of Things] in Public Projects
ISBN: 978-81-948555-1-4 13
and design, and if some basic prevention mechanisms are in place. Enactment and standardization
will simplify the manufacturing and development processes, give the market an incentive for mass-
adoption, and also increase the security posture of IoT products and services. Security will have to
be inbuilt so that IoT can withstand a chance against the threats that technology advancements will
bring along.
With the technological advancements of quantum computing, AI, and cognitive systems,
and with the continuous development and mass adoption of IoT ecosystem, the current security
practices and methodologies will become part of the past. Quantum computing, not only that it can
break through any form of security that is known to human kind, but it can also offer the solution to
finding the formula for tight security. IoT will vastly benefit from these technology advancements,
especially from the quantum mechanics science on a microchip. Further research is recommended,
once the technology matures and evolves, to discover how the security of the future impacts on the
Internet of things ecosystem.
Protecting IoT devices is a multifaceted and complex process. Inadequate legal framework
requires immediate action in legal analysis of existing risks and may require new approaches in
law. To effectively address existing IoT vulnerabilities, it is recommended that an in-depth analysis
of the existing applicable legal framework be carried out and, where necessary, new components be
developed to address the risks associated with IoT deployments.

Abstract-The Internet of Thing also called as IoT is the new buzzing technology which refers to all those devices that
has the ability to connect to the internet, collect and share data. These devices can be embedded in everyday objects
like Phone, Television, Air-conditioner, Lights, Vehicles enabling them to send and receive data through the
internet. In this paper, we are proposing a new dimension to this trending technology and is intended for the safety
of Womanhood. While we all know, jewellery dates back to thousands of years, it would be interesting to transform
jewellery with embedded digital technology that acts as a self-defence gadget for women. This fortification gadget
resembles a normal pendant which is embedded with a push button switch, which when pressed connects to the
mobile phone using Bluetooth and tracks the latitude and longitude of the individual’s location using Global
Positioning System (GPS) technology and sends an alert SMS to three emergency contact numbers using Global
System for Mobile communication (GSM) technology. The IoT module helps to continuously track the location of
the individual which would help us keep a track on the victim’s whereabouts in case of an emergency. The added
pro of the proposed system is that, even when the individual’s phone doesn’t have internet connection, it can work in
offline mode and send alert SMS to the contacts in case of any unprecedented scenario. This proposed SAFE gadget
is small in size but can contribute towards women’s and even children’s safety to a larger extent in near future.

Introduction
Internet of Things also known as IoT is inter-networking of things that are embedded with
software, sensors and also network connectivity which enables these things to collect and share data
amongst themselves. IoT allows things to be sensed and controlled remotely which results in
improved efficiency, accuracy and economic benefits with minimal human intervention. “Things”
in IoT include everything from temperature sensors, heart beat sensors, cameras, smart phones,
automobiles, appliances and almost anything we can think of. IoT can basically be seen as
extension of service provided by the internet[1] It’s a technological revolution which has an
efficient hardware and a high throughput network that has paved way for connecting and
Implication of IoT [Internet of Things] in Public Projects

transmitting data amongst millions of devices. IoT is not just deep vision for future, it is under
implementation and soon it will have a huge impact on not just on the technical development but
also in our day to day lives[2]. IoT basically refers to a platform on top of which many design
techniques with various efficiency and performance objective can be developed.
Even with so much of technological advancements, women safety across the globe is still a
concern. Most women don’t feel safe when traveling alone especially at night[3]. In this research
article, we are proposing a simple but efficient SAFE Pendant jewellery for women. During an
unsafe situation, this system will act as a self-defence and as well as an alert triggering device.
Evolution of IoT
The phrase Internet of Things (IoT) was coined by Kevin Ashton, the British technology
pioneer and also the co-founder of Auto-ID Labs at MIT back in 1999. Later, in 2013, during the
launch event of RFID technology, Ashton reiterated the importance of IoT in his pre-recorded
video [2]By the late 2000s to early 2010s, corporations around the world were starting to get really
excited about the Internet of Things – much in the way they’re getting excited about artificial
intelligence and machine learning today. Non-IT companies like BBC also had plans for deploying
IoT to publicize their cutting-edge technologies. The IoT devices employs IPv6 addressing for an
enormous address space that makes it effective with active monitoring by computers with network
connectivity and controlled by sensors embedded devices. It was later this working principle was
employed in smart home automation systems, where one can control the air conditioner while being
away from home.
The below figure 1 explains the evolution of IoT through various other technologies.

As the number of things or devices to be connected is growing, their connectivity becomes
an important issue. A number of IoT applications are used in a small coverage area and their
connectivity can rely on short-range wireless technologies such as Bluetooth, Zigbee, Wi-Fi, and
optical wireless communication [4]With the introduction of the 5th generation (5G) wireless
technology, the IoT has drawn much attention in particular with the emergence of machine type
communications (MTC).
Literature Review
The ubiquitous sensitivity powered by wireless sensor network (WSN) technologies cuts
through many areas of modern life. It provides the ability to measure, predict and understand
environmental indicators ranging from subtle ecological and natural resources to urban
environments. According to the authors, following the RFID technology, increase in the
employment of embedded sensors on to devices had taken IoT to a next generation of future
internet[5]. They conclude their IoT vision by reiterating on the need for merging of Wireless
Sensor Network with the Internet and distributed computing.
According to Tejonidhi et al., a survey which was conducted by World Health Organization
(WHO) indicates that 35% of women across the globe are facing some form of exploitation and
physical violence. They have introduced a system to ensure women safety. They have designed a
wrist band which gets activated by the press of a button and sends alert messages to contacts and to
police as well. The authors suggest that this system will ensure reduction in crime rate against
women[6]
In another research work done by Sindhu et al., claim that in panic situation, when we humans
can’t respond properly and hence some smart device is needed to automatically sense and rescue
the victim back to safety. They have devised an integration of multiple devices that share data and
communicates through the internet. But, in case of the absence of internet this system might not be
very helpful[7]
ProTecht, a 3 way women safety device has also been devised by T.Sen et al. for self-alert and
protection. The proposed prototype was designed to get activated with a voice command
“Emergency”[8]. This system used separate modules for GSM, GPRS connectivity and also
Raspberry Pi 3 b+. Since this system uses additional modules for GSM and GPRS the device size
will be larger and hence cannot be used for implementation in the form of a jewellery.
Implication of IoT [Internet of Things] in Public Projects
ISBN: 978-81-948555-1-4 18
In 2016, D.Chand et al., introduced a mobile application called as WoSApp (Women’s Safety
App)[9]. This app was designed to provide assistance in an emergency situation. The individual can
contact the nearest police station by simply shaking the phone or by simple pressing the panic
button in the mobile application. The technical implementation of the same has been elaborately
discussed in this paper. But again, this system needs human intervention to get activated which
might be a challenge under any given panic situation.
In another interesting proposal, Sathyasri et al., had introduced a wristband which has a buzzer
embedded along with a neuro simulator[10]. On pressing the trigger, the buzzer acts as an alarm to
people around indicating an emergency situation in the neighbourhood. The neuro simulator in this
device is used to generate mild electric shock in case of a panic situation as a self-defence.
As discussed above, we can understand that these systems either need internet connection to
work effectively or need human intervention to get activated. We are proposing a SAFE jewellery
which neither needs internet to send alert SMS to the emergency contacts and works efficiently
without human intervention.
Architecture Model
Internet of Things includes variety of sensors, actuators and many devices that
communication and exchange data amongst themselves. In figure 2 below, the abstract edge
architecture model that describes the key elements of IoT are represented in the form of a layered
architecture.
Figure 2. Edge Architecture of IoT
Implication of IoT [Internet of Things] in Public Projects
ISBN: 978-81-948555-1-4 19
Thing
The important element in our architecture is the “Thing,” which is the critical product or
environment that is the core reason for our IoT system build.
Sensors & Actuators
In the next layer, sensors and actuators provide the read and write capabilities for the Thing in the
layer below. Sensors embedded in smart objects acts as the central to the functionality and utility
for the Internet of Things. These sensors are responsible for detecting any changes in a specific
quantity and communicating the event to the cloud for further action. With the advancement in
technology, MEMS has paved way for embedding microscopic scale sensors.
Some of the sensors used often in IoT include:
• Temperature sensors
• Light sensors
• Moisture sensors
• Heartrate sensors
• Vehicle on-board diagnostics
• GPS receivers
Actuators has an impact on the logical state of a product. They act as the main component of the
entire system. These can be in the form of switch that can be turned on or off or even a regulator
that can be opened and closed depending on the requirement.
Examples of actuators include light, regulators, motors etc.
Controller
The layer above actuators is the controller. This controller can be either a software or a hardware
that communicates with the sensors and the actuators in the system. It is responsible for collecting
the necessary data from the device. The controller can be placed at any place depending upon the
environmental factors, security settings and the front-end device.

ISBN: 978-81-948555-1-4 20
Agent
The agent acts as a bridge connecting the cloud and the controller. The agent takes responsibility of
which data to be sent at what interval of time. The agent is usually an embedded program that runs
in the IoT device.
Long Haul Communication
On the top layer of our architecture, we find our long-haul communication to the Internet. IoT
solutions invariably require that environment or device status be made available to a cloud-based
application for consumption by a variety of stakeholders.Once an agent receives information over a
short distance, it must return that information to the cloud. The looked-for characteristics of these
long-distance protocols are very different from those of short-distance travel, especially in the areas
of safety, track and reliability. A lot of long-distance options are available for IoT solution and it
depends on the application case; They include cellular and satellite, Wi-Fi and wired Ethernet
Machine to Machine Communication
Machine-to-Machine (M2M) denotes the exchange of message between computers,
embedded processors, smart sensors, actuators and mobile devices. A precursor to IoT, M2M has
been used as a typical technology in telemetry for decades before the invention of the Internet
because it involves a connection between two or more machines without human intervention.
Key components of the M2M system include sensors, RFID, a Wi-Fi or cellular
communication connection, and automated computer software designed to interpret and make
decisions about a network device. The application of M2M communication is increasing these days
at a faster pace. Machine receives the information and perform the operation with the help of
actuators, sensors, embedded processors and application software. Now a days, there are approx. 2
billion wirelessly connected devices which can gather information from the sensors, analyse this
data and send the information to other devices to perform some task. And it is expected to grow in
the coming years.
Application areas of IoT
With a rich inter-connection of various computing devices, IoT can be fruitfully used in
various domains to add more value to our lives. Some of the domains where IoT has been used
popularly are shown below in figure 3.

Existing System
With a sharp increase in the number of crime cases against women, their safety has taken
the utmost significance for our Indian government. There are a number of women safety mobile
apps like that’s available at the online market which can be easily downloaded and used in case of
emergency. These apps are designed for women security and safety. Safetipin, Raksha,
smart24x7 are few apps which are supported by various state police to ensure women’s safety.
These apps need human intrusion to send messages to family members like pressing a buzzer or so.
The working system of these apps are discussed below
Safetipin:
Safetipin integrates various vital features like tracking of the individual’s Global Positioning
System, connecting to relatives in case of an emergency and also includes the directions to the
nearby safe location[11]. Its available in multiple languages also. Even though this app is popular in
our capital city Delhi and other parts of India, there is an observation, that the amount of data this
Safetipin collect at the background is threating. Especially when the user is primarily women, high
amount of declaration of personal data increases the risk of data leak to stalkers.
Raksha:
This mobile application comes with a press button, which when triggered sends an alert
message to the emergency contacts. The advantage of this application is that even when the mobile
is switched off, if the user presses the volume key for 3 seconds continuously, it will create alert
along with the location details of the victim. Though this is a free app, it will be helpful only for
women with mobile data. It doesn’t provide a feature of sending SMS in the absence of internet
connectivity. In India there are a lot of women who cannot afford internet charges.
Implication of IoT [Internet of Things] in Public Projects
ISBN: 978-81-948555-1-4 24
Smart24x7:
This mobile app Smart24x7 is recommended by police department in many states of India.
Apart from sending alert messages to emergency contacts, this mobile app also takes photos
periodically and records the audio as well. These data are transferred to the nearest police station
for further action. Though this app sends SMS to the contacts in the absence of internet, this app is
slow-running and has been reported to have few technical glitches like unresponsive at times and
not much user-friendly.
Apart from the above discussed mobile applications, certain women safety devices like
Triplet ProTech have also been designed to provide self-defence mechanism to the individual by
providing the location information and also recording the same for future reference. The device gets
activated when the buzzer is pressed. The nerve stimulator and the video camera are turned on
simultaneously. This device records evidence, acts as a self-defence and also helps in tracking the
location. The downside of this is that it is not a wearable device and is not compactly designed as
well.
The main objective of understanding the existing system is to propose a safety mechanism
for women in the form of a small portable user-friendly device that can act as a self-defence, alert
family/friends in emergency situation, provide the latitude and longitude details and if required, the
distress algorithm will get activated which eliminated human intervention. We need a new system
which can also automatically sense the situation using certain health parameters like heartbeat,
temperature of the women.
Proposed System
In this digital era, where technology is being used in various walks of life, we propose a system
in which the M2M technology can be effectively employed to increase the level of women safety.
This system is designed to serve dual purpose, primary for alerting in emergency situation and can
also act as a self-defence device. The following are the main components of the proposed “Safe
Pendant” device
1. Temperature Sensor
2. Heart Beat Sensor
3. Serial Camera to capture the attacker’s picture.
4. LinkIt ONE board.
Implication of IoT [Internet of Things] in Public Projects
ISBN: 978-81-948555-1-4 25
5. Push button (in case of Manual activation)
The proposed system can be activated manually or it can be activated if the vital parameters values
exceed the threshold level as sensed by the sensors. We will discuss the functions of each of these
blocks in the next section. The block diagram of the proposed system is shown below in figure 1.
Figure 4. Block Diagram of SAFE Jewellery System
The main components of the system are:
LinkIt ONE board:
In this era of IoT and wearables, a large amount of innovation is expected to come from the
developer and manufacturing community. LinkIt ONE board is a high performance, open-source
board which is widely used for wearables & also in IoT devices. LinkIt ONE is world’s best chipset
that provides an easy way to connect various sensors and other peripheral devices. The entire board
weighs less than 100gms and has a dimension of 3.3 X 2.1 inches which makes it easy to be used in
the implementation of a decent sized SAFE pendant jewellery. The chipset includes ARM7 EJ-S,
GSM Module, GPRS Module, Wi-Fi Module, Bluetooth BR/EDR/BLE, GPS, Audio codec, and
also an SD card connector along with ready to use APIs and all these are all embedded on a single
board. So, instead of using separate modules for GPRS, GSM, Wi-Fi and connecting it to an
Implication of IoT [Internet of Things] in Public Projects
ISBN: 978-81-948555-1-4 26
Arduino board, LinkIt ONE is one feature-rich development board that integrates all the above
modules in a single port and acts as a bridge between the traditional components and the newly
connected IoT objects. The various data collected by the sensors can be successfully uploaded to a
cloud platform which will help for real-time monitoring and data retention.
Heartbeat sensor:
Heart rate is a vital parameter that helps to study an individual’s activity as well as anxiety
levels. Though the average heart rate is said to be 72 beats per minute, in a panic situation it tends
to increase. In this system, we have also proposed a heart rate sensor for measuring the heart rate of
the individual. The sensors which work on the principle of Photoplethysmography keeps a track of
the heart rate at a regular interval of time. At any given point of time, if the heartbeat is above 90
bpm, the system will stay in the loop to capture his/her heart rate. If the number of beats per minute
is high for a time period of above 5 minutes then it activates the GSM/GPS module to send alert
messages to the emergency contacts.
Temperature sensor:
A simple infrared temperature sensor like MLX90614 can be used to read the body
temperature. These sensors are capable of detecting the temperature in both degrees Celsius and
Fahrenheit. Given a threshold level of 36-37 degree Celsius, if the sensor’s readings are not in
normal range for a long interval of time, then this also activates the LinkIt ONE board which
triggers the messages to the contacts.
TTL Serial Camera:
For wearable devices TTL serial camera is being used for capturing images. The TTL camera
module with NTSC output can be used to take images of the surroundings when the system is
triggered and the same can be sent to the across the network for identifying the surrounding areas of
the individual in case of an emergency. It can monitor a distance of 10 to 15 meters. This TTL
module has built in features like brightness control/saturation and hue of picture which helps to
capture a better-quality picture.
Implication of IoT [Internet of Things] in Public Projects
ISBN: 978-81-948555-1-4 27
Push Button:
As discussed earlier, this system can be activated in two different scenarios. For our proposed
SAFE jewellery, the momentary button or switch can be attached at the top of the pendant and
when this button is pushed, the surroundings images are captured, the in-built GPRS module would
collect the location details of the individual, along with certain information like the vital parameters
reading of the sensors will all be sent as MMS and SMS to the emergency contacts linked to the
LinkIt ONE module. The GSM and GPRS needs to be activated with the help of a Subscriber
Identity Module (SIM) Card on the chipset. The latitude and longitude co-ordinate details are
provided by satellite communication with which the location of the individual can be recognized.
All these data including the pictures captured will be stored in the SD card automatically for data
retention.
This system needs to be coded in such a way that the details of whereabouts of the individual
and the sensor readings can be sent to the emergency contact three times continuously with a delay
of 20 seconds between every transmission. After sending 3 times the system will automatically start
to record the audio and video in the SD Card.
SAFE System Flowchart
Let’s now look into the logical steps taken in the implementation of the Women SAFE
jewellery system. A simple pictorial representation in the form of flowchart of our proposed system
is shown in the figure 2 below:
As shown above in the flowchart, the SAFE system can be activated either by pressing the push
button switch or when the sensors sense an abnormal value. Once the microcontroller is activated,
the GSM, GPRS and camera modules are turn on and further course of action of sending alert
messages with details of location, images are shared to the emergency contacts. An inbuilt delay
circuit can be constructed to wait for 3 minutes after which the details are again sent to the contacts
the second time as well. This process is repeated thrice to ensure the message is delivered and gets
noticed by the contacts of the individual. The advantage here is since the GSM uses 2G Sim, even
if there is no internet connection, we will be able to send the SMS alert messages.

Figure 5. Flowchart of Proposed SAFE Jewellery System
Software Requirements:
LinkIt ONE is an open-source development board which is similar to Arduino with some add-
on features. To program this board, we need the following software components.
1. Arduino Integrated Development Environment (IDE)
2. USB COM Port driver.
3. LinkIt ONE Software Development Kit (SDK)
Arduino IDE has text editor for easily writing the code and to upload the same on the board.
The source code which is also called as Sketch will generate a Hex file which will be transferred to
the controller in the LinkIt ONE board. This supports C and C++ programming languages.
Implication of IoT [Internet of Things] in Public Projects
ISBN: 978-81-948555-1-4 29
USB COM port driver is a software which helps to communicate LinkIt over the USB port.
This acts as an interface between the board and the Computer through the USB Port.
LinkIt ONE SDK is a plug-in for Arduino IDE that helps to test prototype ideas for wearables
and IoT devices in the board. This SDK compiles the source code and is supported by various
operating systems like Windows, UNIX and MAC.
Thus, the board can be programmed as per our requirements and can embedded in any wearable
device and can act as a self-defence safety system for women.
Benefits of Using IoT to enhance Women’s Safety
As we all know, IoT is Internet of Things. Things in IoT refers to a wide range of devices
starting from sensors, cameras, appliances, wearable devices and the list goes on. These devices
collect beneficial data and without any human intervention transfer the data to other devices.
Though we live in a technologically advanced world, women safety is still a big question across the
globe. These challenges faced by women and children can be addressed by Internet of Things. IoT
helps in creating a variety of apps and smart devices that can autonomously sense, make a decision
and also act in accordance to the situation without the need for human intervention. The other
benefits of IoT are that its easy to use, reduced investment, can work with Bluetooth technology
which is much more durable and consumes less energy. With enhanced security measures the
possibilities of IoT are endless.
Figure 6. Benefits of IoT
Some of benefits which make IoT as a very good platform for the safety of women is shown
above in figure 3. IoT deals with data collection, data tracking, M2M communication at a reduced
Implication of IoT [Internet of Things] in Public Projects

cost and time. All these qualities will definitely pay way for a better quality of life for every human
being. IoT will soon act as a bridge between our everyday lives and the enterprise network. Hence
this technology can be effectively used in building up a society that makes women’s life safe and
secure.
Future Scope
With the introduction of 5G technology, it is predicted by experts that billions of smart devices
will be coupled to the internet in mere future. This concept of integrating various devices has been
around for almost a decade now. So, the actual work lies in building up a platform that requires
wearable gadgets with minimal human interference. Researchers and industry experts put in their
time and effort to bring in new technology that will ensure a safe environment across the globe. In
this research article, we have proposed a simple but efficient smart device which can be embedded
in a pendant and can be worn as an elegant jewellery by women. In future, the same can be
extended to alert not just the known contacts in case of an emergency but also to the nearest police
station for a faster response. Further, IoT device can be implemented for safety of not just Women
but also children as well, thereby ensuring a complete safety solution to the society.
Conclusion
In this research work, an IoT based self-defence framework which can be worn as a simple
jewellery that can help women in an emergency situation has been proposed. Usage of separate
modules for Wi-fi, GSM, GPRS, Bluetooth and SD card connector will considerably increase the
size of the device, which will make it unfit to be worn as a pendant. Hence, we have proposed to
use a high performance, IoT enabled, extensible and open source LinkIt ONE board. This highly
compatible board has all the features integrated in a single small sized PCB and hence can be used
in any wearable device like watch, pendant, band etc. We are hopeful that these new technologies
can be fruitfully employed to dispel the fear that lingers over women about their safety and security
in the near future.

Abstract –The smart agriculture is an emerging technology for cultivate of plants. Mostly the Indian economy
depends on agriculture products. It is essential to produce better products. These agriculture crop grow in healthiest
environment that depends on nutrients of the soil. The cultivation of land for production of crops is difficult without
knowledge of monitor about parameters of soil. There is a lot of changes happening in research for crop by
improving new technology throughout the world. With new technology like Internet of Things(IoT) findout the
nutrients in the soil for irrigation and provide information about the type of nutrients in the soil without any
spending cost by farmers. The soil pH is for improve crops more efficient in all season. According to irrigation of
crop growth-level is depend on nutrients available in the soil.. To findout the availability of nutrients in soil, authors
proposed a brief overview of soil monitoring system by using sensors enable Internet of Things technologies. The
sensors are tiny devices that recognize the nutrients level of the soil and capture these from soil and send this data to
Internet. According to this data, we know the present nutrients level in the soil. As per this information the farmer
can analyze to cultivate the suitable crop for better profit. Nutrient available is monitor by ‘Things’ of ‘IoT. Internet
of Things based sensors are monitor, sense and capture these data and ultimately send these collected data to the
server. The server send these data to the cloud for further processing. From the cloud, the data about nutrients and
soil information send to the farmer’s mobile to take better decision of suitable crop for cultivation.
Keywords –soil nutrient, smart agriculture, Internet of Things (IoT), microcontroller, pH sensor, temperature

1- INTRODUCTION
Internet of Things (IoT) is a sensor and cloud enable technology that use agriculture in all aspects of
technology for better growth of crops in and make high commercial a agricultural system. The Internet of
Things is a new technology that provides innovative techniques to farmers for maximization of profit and
Implication of IoT [Internet of Things] in Public Projects
ISBN: 978-81-948555-1-4 33
also minimization of risks. These technology provide techniques to know about whether conditions,
moisture conditions soil pH levels to better improvement of crop as per seasons and also as per nutrients
available in soil. These techniques improves increasing efficient farming of crops for better products [1]. If
the soil having less nutrients, then the farmer un-knowingly purchase the fertilizers and put these more
measurity of fertilizers in the soils for better agriculture. Then the soil fertilization levels comes down. So
the IoT technology prefer to known soil nutrient condition, according to this, the farmer cultivate the crop as
suitable fertility of the suitable crop.
In a traditional system, the soil monitoring system have been done by research centres. The farmers
usually charging for soil testing professionals of soil research centres. Now new technology Internet of
Things(IoT) introduced by using color sensors, temperature sensor, humidity sensor and pH sensor used to
the level of nutrients like nitrogen, phosphorous and potassium for better growth of crop in the soil. And
also by using these sensors the farmer knows the whether and climate atmosphere conditions of the
agriculture area. Phosphorous needs for improvement in plant. The Potassium for of the plant growing. The
Potassium needs to plant shading and growth of leaves. According to sensing of the soil, the farmers will get
suitable data for soil nutrients and suggestible fertilizers for better crop [2]..
Soil testing is a diagnostic testing tool for find out nutrients level in soil for plants grow in agriculture.
Naturally all soils having better energy nutrients [3] for plant growth. But in some areas having less nutrients
available in soil that cause harmful to growing crops in that particular soils. Some times in the soils find
waste materials such as animal manures and industrial released by-products and chemicals that harm the
nutrients of the soil and also harmful to the environment. But soils keep on testing nutrients capacity[2] by
Internet of Things(IoT) technology[4]. And also its better to test harmful nutrients like
arsenic(As),cadmium(Cd),nickel(Ni),lead(Pb),mercury (Hg),and selenium(Se)etc. Phosphorus (P)
for plant growth.By using Internet of Things and sensors technology, the farmers know soil nutrients for
better management of agriculture for higher production of crop[5].
2. LITERATURE REVIEW
In this paper identification to soil nutrients using value. In a literature survey it is observed that
when the farmers was grow the crop and suddenly the crops fails so they don't know the reason
behind this why the crops fails. For the better cultivation of crops they need to study first about the
literature of nutrients which are present in soil and which soil is suitable to grow which type of
crops.

3 - EXISTING SYSTEM
The existing system deals only about automatic irrigation, manual fertiliser spraying without testing
of soil. Soil testing is not done by farmers. So farmers feed the fertilizers as it is in the field without
any proper knowledge. Mostly fertilizers are feed in agriculture land manually by the farmers. The
main drawbacks are feeding fertilizers manually will spoil the crops. Because unknowingly the
farmers, feed more or less quantity of the fertilizers in the soil for better growth of crop. If the
fertilizers level high then the crop will be damaged and make a loss to the farmers. It is suggested
to every farmer, before starting to farming their crop, use suggested quantity of fertilizers and pH
value of soil to irrigation.
4 - PROPOSED SYSTEM
This proposed work will help the farmer to put fertilizers in correct ratio and in correct time.
This will be automatically done by mixing the fertilizers in the water tank and spraying it evenly so
that incorrect mixing of fertilizers will be avoided. The main advantage is it requires proper amount
of fertilizers and maintaining the value of pH in soil [11]. So that the fertilizers will be evenly
Implication of IoT [Internet of Things] in Public Projects
ISBN: 978-81-948555-1-4 35
distributed in agriculture land. The damage due to fertilizers will be reduced by using this proposed
system. The overall process will be controlled by the Arduino and Humidity sensors. . This system
helps to improve productivity of crop by getting quick result of soil quality and recommending
proper fertilizer.
In agricultural soil to estimate quantity of hydrogen by pH sensor.pH sensor frequently
utilizing industrials, chemical laboratory and form lands etc. The connectivity of Arduino
microcontroller with pH sensor to estimate pH of nutrients in soil[11]. Sensors are sensed the soil
afterthat collect information in he form of data nd store these data at IoT cloud for processing final
results to view former and other experts. pH intimate 0-14 is denotes neutral, whether < 7 is acidic.
Whether >7 is alkaline. The level of water in soil is test by soil moisture sensor this way farmers
know the soil moisture content for better irrigation process.
Various Internet of Things based sensor are introduced for better crop in agricultural areas.
The Color sensor is for nutrients amount for calculating high, medium and low rate. The water
level sensors are used to monitor the utilization of adequate amount of fertilizer also reduces the
water wastage. Various sensors are used for farming and to help the farmers by sending these
recorded information multi media messaging service (MMS). Then the farmer immediately can
alert for protection of crop.

1. Introduction
Internet of Things (IoT) becomes a part and parcel of the human lives. IoT has been applied in
various applications including military, Civilian, agriculture, industries, foundries etc., The
use of drones in almost every sector of the economy is growing fast, but drone usage in the
agricultural industry is booming. a drone is a flying robot that can be remotely controlled or
fly autonomously through software-controlled flight plans in their fixed systems, working in
conjunction with onboard sensors and GPS. While drones serve a spread of purposes, admire
recreational, photography, industrial associated military, their 2 basic functions are flight and
navigation. Drones need a controller, that employed remotely by an operator to launch,
navigate and land it. Controllers communicate with the drone victimization radio waves,
together with wi-fi. Smart Farming is focussed on the utilization of knowledge nonheritable
through varied sources (historical, geographical and instrumental) within the management of
farm activities. Technologically advanced doesn’t primarily mean that it's a sensible system.
Smart systems differentiate themselves through their ability to record the info and add up out
of it.[1][2]

III. Applications of Drones
There are enamours applications were available under IoT, Drone plays an important role. Drones
were used in lot of places, Agriculture and smart farming plays a vital role in day today life of
farmers and each and every human being of the world. The following are the some of the
applications this chapter concentrates.
1. Monitoring the Crop Field
Crop Field monitoring is the one of major work done by drone in order to reduce the work
load of the farmers, because nowadays no humans were available to do farming, especially in India.
Drone technology has left a long-lasting impact on the Agriculture industry of India and its
efficiency. Innovative Aerial Surveying drones furnished with cutting edge sensors, like RGB and
Multispectral Sensors, to get exact information. Robots, for example, DJI Inspire 2 gather high-goal
crop information to distinguish any issues with the harvests and tell them for sure fire activity
before harm happens. Geo-labelling Aerial Images give important data that diminishes cost and lifts
yield by a critical rate. Florian De Rangu e.t. al have proposed the use of a test system that is fit to
the horticultural fields. This test system would facilitate with the UAV and control the movement
of the UAV within the sight of unsafe bugs in the yields. It would likewise consider different
boundaries like energy and the correspondence scope of the robots. One of the critical parts of
exactness cultivating is the need to send information from/to different gadgets, specifically for: I)
Implication of IoT [Internet of Things] in Public Projects
ISBN: 978-81-948555-1-4 48
recovering large measure of information to be traded and expounded; ii) pushing order and control
information; iii) fast ongoing correspondence and participation among bunches of gadgets working
in a similar ground, and iv) sharing detected information. To represent these various qualities, a few
correspondence guidelines can be utilized to execute the brilliant cultivating worldview. In the
following, we classify these standards in terms of short- and long-range communication
capabilities. The use of computer vision techniques from drones will allow to water or spray only
where necessary applying a selective spraying in sections of the field that need the treatments.
From caught pictures it is additionally conceivable to dissect the watering level inside plants, to
design crops with exactness and perhaps robotize farm trucks.
2. Identifying the Plant Damage After the Plantation
Plant damage after plantation is identified using drone images sent by the drone while
monitoring the filed. The farmers can get the images from ground station and do the plantation
again in the damaged area. Early detection of plant damage is necessary in order to get the good
yield in the crop filed. Drone pilots can obtain high-resolution data which will provide vital
information for measuring and documenting damage to crops from unforeseen factors like floods,
fires, pests, weather events, etc. Data from drones with remote sensing capabilities and
Photogrammetry acts as evidence for farmers or government authorities to say crop insurance or to
get an estimate accordingly. Information recovered from cutting edge sensors addressed as 2D or
3D Orth mosaics assist ranchers with comprehension and discover novel choices to broaden crop
yields and decrease crop harm at the same time. Marthinus Reinecke et al. have proposed the
utilization of robots for the improvement of yield quality. This could help the ranchers increment
their creation by distinguishing the escape clauses already. The harvests could be overseen by
utilizing explicit cameras associated with the robots to distinguish water deficiencies and unsafe
nuisances. Florian De Rango e.t. al have proposed the utilization of a test system that is fit to the
farming fields. This test system would facilitate with the UAV and control the action of the UAV
within the sight of hurtful creepy crawlies in the harvests. This helps reduce the cost of pesticide
application. The sprayer is said to comprise of 6 BLDC engines. A 5L limit cone shaped chamber
was utilized to hold the pesticide arrangement. A DC engine combined with a siphon was utilized
to compress the arrangement into fine drops by methods for four spouts. The entire process was
controlled with the help of a transmitter at ground level. A camera was utilized to screen the live
showering activity. Utilization of warm or warmth looking for cameras can help farming
Implication of IoT [Internet of Things] in Public Projects
ISBN: 978-81-948555-1-4 49
administration significantly by checking warm properties of plants and crops and by additionally
recognizing the presence of unsafe natural life in the harvest fields. Also, thermal imaging helps us
to monitor plant diseases, lack of water and other physiological processes [6][7].
3. Soil Analysis
Today, the vast majority of the farming field work is completed with human driven machines
in broadacre cultivating. In light of serious cultivating techniques in motorized agribusiness,
ranchers need active involvement in detecting the state of the field. The dirt nature of harvests can
either represent the deciding moment a rancher's profitability. Soil Analysis is a critical advance to
be taken by ranchers during the yield cycle. drones, for example, the DJI Phantom 4 Pro, give
ongoing and exact examination of soil's general wellbeing. Through Precision Agriculture, one can
recognize issues encompassing soil quality, supplement the board, or dead soil zones. This
information underpins ranchers in deciding the best cultivating examples of planting, overseeing
harvests, and soil. Also, field soil examination likewise builds the security and wellbeing of
laborers. Like with IOT (Internet of Things), IOS ('Internet of the Soil') is a methodology where
soil conditions like stickiness, temperature, electrical conductivity, are being observed. Far off
detecting strategies have been proposed to help in accuracy cultivating to accumulate information,
and with legitimate investigation the development during the season can be observed. Increasingly
more satellite imaging information is accessible during the season. For instance, satellite images
from Sentinel-2 satellites are available and provided by European Space Agency (ESA) Sensors.
Drones are another source for remote sensing. With drones, imaging is conceivable in shady
conditions though satellite-based imaging is restricted in these circumstances. In any case, working
with drones requires more exertion both in pre-flight stage, flying and the post handling of pictures
than satellite-based imaging. Nonetheless, with satellites, the resolution unit of images is in meters
whereas drone imaging has a higher resolution in centimetre-level drone-based remote sensing
system under various farming conditions in local farms in Japan. Basically, the standard flight
condition was at the altitude of 100 m and speed of 4 m sec-1. Radiometric and geometric
calibrations as well as the Orth mosaic processing of such image-data were conducted semi-
automatically using GPS and calibration source data by our integrated data processing system
which included the core part of Photos also can [5].

4. Drone Spraying
Robots are likewise ideal for crop showering by checking the field first and adjusting the
specific measure of water or manure to be splashed in the right regions. Yallappa et al have
proposed the plan of a robot which would be useful for showering essential synthetics on crops.
This helps reduce the cost of pesticide application. It is accounted for that drones-based harvest
showering should be possible multiple times quicker than conventional homestead hardware. The
use of computer vision techniques from drones will allow to water or spray only where necessary
applying a selective spraying in sections of the field that need the treatments. From caught pictures
it is additionally conceivable to examine the watering level inside plants, to design crops with
accuracy and potentially computerize farm haulers. With the assistance of hyper-ghastly measures,
it is conceivable to assess the water driven pressure of locales grouping them dependent on the
anxiety, survey the chlorophyll content, confirm ozone harm on leaves and separate plant species
dependent on leaves properties[3][4].
5. Cattle field monitoring
The utilization of robots for observing domesticated animals is gradually acquiring energy in
different nations. Australia and Israel have effectively begun utilizing bunches of dairy cattle
checking drones. drones are watching out for the domesticated animals, are in less need of labor; all
things being equal, they can undoubtedly monitor their creatures without getting into their trucks or
recruit labor on horseback. When utilizing dairy cattle observing robots' ranchers can locate the lost
domesticated animals effectively, as these robots are inserted with warm detecting innovation, that
is they can discover any of the animals utilizing their internal heat level. The robots give clear
warm pictures which effectively uncover the distinction between one creature versus another. These
robots additionally assist ranchers with getting criminals far from the dairy cattle field as they can
be effortlessly distinguished by warm robots [4][3].
Conclusion and Future Work
Accordingly, we can presume that the Drones have as of now immeasurably adjusted the rural
business and will keep on filling in the coming years. While drone use is getting more helpful to
little ranchers, there is as yet a best approach before they become part of each rancher's hardware
list, especially in agricultural countries. Guidelines around drone use should be made and amended
in numerous nations and more exploration should be done on their adequacy at specific

assignments, like pesticide application and showering. There are numerous ways robots can be
valuable to ranchers, yet it is essential to comprehend their restrictions and capacities prior to
putting resources into costly gear. Convey, a horticultural robot provider and programming
organization, recommend beginning little and joining drone information into your association
gradually for the best outcomes. Robots and computerized reasoning are addressing the capacity to
scale how yields are created and give an answer of how to take care of a planet of 8-billion
individuals by 2030.

Abstract-The most commonly recognized cardiac arrhythmias are atrial fibrillation, and the risk of stroke and
thromboembolism is associated with increased confusion. Atrial fibrillation patients exhibiting electrical and
pharmacological cardiac function and emotional control programs have been proposed. In March dodge to get re-
established anticoagulant therapy thrombus function is so defined from the prior sinus mood and signs of heart.
Transesophageal echocardiography cardiac performance has an important part in the formation of blood clots is
missing the left atrium members of this set.Study point was the left atrium limb of the trip to detect and treat a
variety of anticoagulant therapy adequacy limb stroke before adapting part to the dynamic echocardiogram of the
heart, the left atrium and the disease. Consider the factors and transmission of risk.
Keywords-Atrial fibrillation; defibrillation; oral anticoagulant therapy; thrombosis in left atrial
appendage.Transesophageal echocardiography.
1. INTRODUCTION
The most widely recognized supported arrhythmia is atrial fibrillation (AF), with a
pervasiveness of 0.4 percent in all and 9 percent in octogenarian patients. AF patients are at greater
risk of cardiovascular difficulties, including a 3-5-old increase in stroke. A 4-5 false risk of
fundamental embolism and a higher risk of progression of cardiovascular breakdown. In patients
with AF, the cardio version (both electrical and pharmacological) is associated with a non-
immaterial risk of thromboembolic function without prior satisfactory anticoagulation [5].
Therefore, for patients with AF >48 h at baseline, the current rules suggest that anticoagulant
therapy should be started in any case three weeks before and a month before.
Transesophageal echocardiography (TOE) that, by evaluating the capacity of the left atrium
and the life points of the body, the dot structures are considered to be the best level of quality[6] or
to distinguish between the left and the prohibited LAA pen. This is a strategy for indexing. The

highest level of quality, the prevention of CV thromboembolism, is generally considered to be the
enemy of prior nutrition. New oral anticoagulants (NOACs) In both cases, similar programs will
gradually be used in this setting. The aim of this research is to discuss who displays CV mode risk
factors in patients with AF through the left atrial appendage and stroke, and to provide an overview
and update the repair system.
Exceptional problems with the coronary artery and atrial fibrillation (AF) are both
representative of the same patient. In 33 per cent slower broken 16 per cent of patients, comparison
AF is present given the way in which the heart muscle limited downward corruption (MI). Up to 36
percent of AF patients, from another point of view, have a cooperative coronary artery elegance
course disease among people with a previous MI of 45 percent. A double anti-platelet treatment of
relevance is required for the treatment of ACS, irrespective of the presence or absence of
percutaneous coronary arbitration (PCI) to prevent damage to the MI boredom and stent blood
vessels.
Oral anticoagulation (OAC) has been shown in many patients with atrial fibrillation to
prevent stroke and embolism. Therefore, if the precondition is to distinguish between AF and ACS
patients and anti-thrombotic therapy, and if there are two, consider carefully the two conditions
associated with future ischemia. The ideal antithrombotic therapy to reduce the risk function is
expected to be determined.
In both cases, the high mix of DAPT and OAC alone causes a higher death rate, which may
be greater than the risks associated with OAC occurring more than once. Risk drainage should be
kept at the base, deployment and mortality after PCI has been shown to be significantly oozing.
Here, a sensitive harmony between access and overview proof drain back to the doctor and ACS
patients with atrial fibrillation at risk is intended to determine whether anti-thrombotic is
appropriate.
After the ACS, aspirin has been the basis for CAD processing for a very long time, adding
the main P2Y12 inhibitor to further reduce unfriendly cardiac function. The ACS is set to contain a
DAPT headache drug conjugate containing a stronger ticagrelor plunger or P2Y12 inhibitor than
that of MACE and containing DAPT cropidgrel ibuprofen. In either case, tickagrel or plunger
cropidgrel and the additional flaw in the development and penetration of these comparison
operators and cropidgrel, which is healthy and compromise-compensated.
There are still more than those MACE tickagrelor patients who have proven to compare
recurrence and patient tickagrelor or plunger random plunger drainage treatment. The bookings. In

addition, cropidgrel reduces drainage, MI, net clinical benefit for death, which is out of
specification results, the popular age-old reserve (about 70 years old), highly non-ST ACS patients
without AF. Stroke and then he died, Ticagrelor's random comparison confirmed.
OAC treatment is shown to counteract stroke and basic embolism in patients with AF with a
score of ⁇ 2, and is more viable than antiplatelet therapy. Because of their boss safety and adequacy
profile, the non-vitamin K opponent oral anticoagulants (NOACs) apixaban, dabigatran, edoxaban,
and rivaroxaban are best for qualified patients (i.e. without mechanical heart valve, moderate to
severe mitral stenosis, and extreme renal deficiency) over nutrient K adversaries (VKA). In
particular, NOAC treatment is associated with half the lower risk of intracranial discharge
compared with VKA.

LAA is LA thrombus formation, the most unmistakable website development, and more
than 90% of this internal anatomy is generated by thrombosis. LAA thrombus is usually present, as
stroke is a very rare finding in non-valvular atrial fibrillation of the extra limbs. The CHA2DS2-
VASC score is defined as the ratio of increased risk factors for stroke in routine clinical practice
and integration into normal anticoagulation management in patients with atrial fibrillation.
The type of AF, the autofocus, and the ability of the kidneys to increase. The VASC scores
can better isolate the thromboembolism risk and differentiate between patients who do not require
TOE pre-treatment. When thromboembolism is low in risk AF patients, such as occurs in 2
comments, it is assumed that CHA2DS2-VASC points contain as many as 1,100 atrial fibrillation
patients without left atrial appendage thrombus, left atrial appendage, and blood clotting is possible.
It seems to be general security and convenience when the low-resolution CHA2DS2-VASC score is
used.
Each AF recognized transthoracic echo (TTE) should be a clinical assessment of
transthoracic echo. TTE is important for the cardiovascular system, and a far-reaching assessment
of the ability to identify patients with a high risk of stroke in the left atrial appendage can help
characterize the type of AF. First of all, it is important that the valve AF, characterized by moderate
severe mitral stenosis or prothetic valve, is considerably present in the echocardiographic
evaluation analysis and that VKA anticoagulation is processed.

Previous CV, TTE tag to provide two left ventricle strokes as a thrombosis risk and overall
evaluation of the presence of L-ascorbic acid drainage. LVEF is also commonly used in left atrial
appendage in patients with atrial fibrillation who have been recruited by LA-associated low-
common TOE evaluation, but A LVEF <40 percent also examines the risk of CHA2DS2-VASC
congestive heart failure model evaluation score. LAA stroke with significant and productive
potential for tempo control. In order to assess the highest level of quality, Antero back to the LA
width estimate is generally considered a LA measure. . Nevertheless, we recommend LA volume
file (LAVI), proof of its creation.
TTE provides markers before CV to foresee the probability of fruitful beat control. The
outcome of the beat control technique can affect LAVI, LVEF, diastolic capacity, E/è wave
proportion, and LV hypertrophy. The HATCH score (representing hypertension, age 75,
thromboembolic function, pneumonic disease, and HF) summarizes the main markers influencing
the likelihood of being effective.
As the next 2D point and Los Angeles assessment, echocardiography (STE) is a promising
device for the clinical evaluation of patients with atrial fibrillation. STE with typical LA strain test
in three stages I AF patients with insufficient stage siphon supporters, most solid boundaries are
apical systolic strain library, the LA to ventricular diastolic phase (siphon) siphon stages (channels),
the exhaust promoter removed, dynamic fill phase (storage) end portion of the withdrawal stages.
In the index scale reconstruction of very AF patients, STE strain between LA and fibrosis occurs in
line with the survey.
The TOE is considered the highest level of the method of quality affectability and explicit
analysis of 95-100 percent left atrial appendage thrombosis. Current rules are defined as patients
with TOE>AF during 48 hours of each program or when the option of AF episodes to be
anticoagulated cannot be resolved over a specific period of time. Furthermore, recurrent TOE CV
before anticoagulation therapy after three months should be considered for patients with different
strokes. The current or other potential sources within the heart of a multi-lane TOE embolism are
supported by visually assessed (FIG. 1). Thrombosis with LAA.The predecessor thrombosis of
TOE is more prominent and also has a "smoke" (FIG. 2B) and "slope" (FIG. 2A) and the SEC's
thickness to check the contrast of unrestricted reverberation (SEC). Allowed, visual prognosis
greater than a single cigarette. When the beat Doppler TOE from the test volume is placed in LAA
caves of 1cm or less, the LAA machine capacity can be assessed. 48 H AF LAA discharge or
specific span, and the AF start length cannot be resolved. Furthermore, recurrent TOE CV before
anticoagulation therapy after three months should be considered for patients with different strokes.

The current or other potential sources within the heart of a multi-lane TOE embolism are
supported by visually assessed (FIG. 1). LAA thrombosis Of the TOE, also known as "smoke"
(FIG. 2B), the more prominent unconstrained reverberation contrast examination (SEC), by the
"mud" (FIG. 2A), and the thickness before placement of the clot. Prognosticity allows the
individual cigarette to come to a visual conclusion. The LAA machine capacity investigation can be
set from the 1 cm LAA pit below TOE beat Doppler test volume. Speed of LAA cleaning.
CV is related to the risk of thromboembolic function expansion and stroke. The current
rules for the first patient with AF> 48 hours suggest anti-coagulation therapy for CV after 3 weeks
ago and the moon anyway. Acquiring a description after three weeks of anticoagulant therapy prior
to electrical CV is, at any rate, 14 days after the proposed examination that clot invasion and LAA
fibroblast need to be combined. Doppler's decision to withdraw LA after the CV was engraved in a
little less of the file to the month of anticoagulant therapy, and added it to the high risk of
thromboembolic stroke, which is expected to post stunning LA procedures.
VKA is considered to be the highest level of quality pre-CV thromboembolic prophylaxis,
and the main recommendations are in patients with valvular AF[6]. The frequency of treatment
advice and VKA test past the LA/LAA stroke was 0.6 percent and 7 percent, depending on the
scope of research and testing, between the population size. Vitamin K antagonist therapy is seen as
a problem with major limitations in adhering to the type of thin repair period to reach the target
time.
NOAC is protected and considered a viable option in comparison with VKA therapy and is
used to predict non-valvular AF line therapy in long-distance stroke patients. In various clinical
situations, the general safety and efficacy of NOAC has been demonstrated. The upcoming three
NOAC qualifications tend to have random clinical symptoms of intense and selective resume
settings. In a preliminary X-VERT, rivaroxaban or VKA patients were randomly assigned a CV of
48 hours or duration in 1504 cases per day to clear AF patients. The composite endpoint of CV to
VKA occurred in 0.51 percent of patients with a Li Basha class of 1.02 percent after basic stroke
and embolism. ,More like the bottom half of 2199 cases.Perhaps this demonstrates that the use of
NOAC models to expand NOACs and significantly ease the use of vitamin K antagonists[67]
continues to tend to the NOAC method to demonstrate previous multi-agency resumes. However,
68.5 percent of patients with pre-CV VKA anticoagulant therapy and doctors seem to understand
NOAC swing CV use before this library[67]. Yes, approved in clinical situations, CVs are
generally limited to multiple Walfarin [62] and NOACs. In addition, tests have shown that the use

to significant cost savings in methodology identification. Therefore, taking into account the clinical
characteristics of this positive focus and the convincing use of Walfarin, it is wise to increase the
use of pre CV NOAC anticoagulation in the coming years. Although random qualifications, due to
the survival and clinical features prior to its Walfarin and NOACs CV, the tendency for LA / LAA

Normal vein tissue SVT intensive treatment of patients was suggested for adenosine (Class I

fibrillat pathway
It is essential to survey the hemodynamic status of the patient quickly when evaluating a
patient with suspected SVT. Supraventricular tachycardia is rarely fatal, yet the annual risk of
abrupt cardiovascular death among Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome patients is 0.02 percent-0.15
percent.13 However, certain heart comorbidity patients may not endure the basic rapid ventricular
rate, which may cause hemodynamic shakiness, exacerbated congestive cardiovascular breakdown,
or angina. Synchronized electrical cardio form may be warranted in the event that the patient is
considered insecure because of the SVT and a preliminary of vagal movements or intravenous
adenosine is ineffective or not achievable.
3.6 Assess the kind of SVT
The main demonstrative advance is to acquire a 12-lead ECG on the off chance of the
patient being a hemodynamic partner and clinically stable. The four-venture approach outlined in
figure.1 is recommended to analyze the basic mood when the ECG is obtained. Decide whether the
QRS complex is tight (< 120 ms) or wide (~ 120 ms) to begin with. The supraventricular cause of

4. RESULT AND DISCUSSION
It is understood that learning basic information about the ECG system is valuable. 150-250
times / minute in SVT from ventricular rate by variation. In patients with more determined rates,
this rate may be slower and the drug may be taken to suppress AV nodules (i.e., calcium channel
blockers and beta blockers of digoxin). An electronic circuit in the AV hub frame comprises
AVNRT patients, two substantially specific routes within a large capacity as stated AV hub rapid

5. CONCLUSIONS
Due to the requirement for consolidated antithrombotic treatment, patients with
accompanying AF and ACS are at greater risk of seeping. In all patients, DAPT stacking should be
considered upon introduction. In the absence of a long-term OAC sign in patients with established
AF, the P2Y12 decision inhibitor is normally clopidogrel, except in patients at high ischaemic risk
where ticagrelor or prasugrel may be considered. All patients should be given DAPT per procedure
and extra intraprocedural parenteral anticoagulation, with the exception of those on VKA with an
INR > 2.5. A routine of double antithrombotic treatment including a P2Y12 inhibitor and a NOAC
inhibitor is shown for most patients.Without specific preliminaries in AF and ACS, and a sign of an
increase in MI and stent apoplexy with double versus triple therapy, an underlying period of 1
month of triple therapy should be considered and suggested for high thrombotic risk patients and
people who do not have an unnecessary drainage risk. In all, powerful P2Y12 inhibitors should be
avoided due to the risk of overabundance drainage, and hereditary testing can be taken into account
before accelerating from clopidogrel to more intense operators. Cautious thinking of thrombotic
and draining hazards is warranted in each patient, in order to reduce the risk of ischaemic and
draining functions.

Abstract - In current and previous decades, crucial and natural or disasters like floods, earthquakes, tsunami
which are all man-made have occurred with various catastrophic consequences. Aftermath of natural disaster, it
is very important process that the rescuers must be immediately available to practice track who were trapped and
also to coordinate with the relief measurements to reduce the loss of lives or damages. The emergency
management is an area where the technology growth was not reflected. Rapidly, Internet of Everything and
Anything evolved by Internet of Things are introduced to the scenarios of Disaster Management System (DMS).
For appropriate and proper management approach through the IoT only the rescue events are interlinked. So,
rescue methods, follow-up, regulation technique and disaster warning system or conjugated oftentimes. This
paper is introduced for the systems of completely unique architecture for productive management of disaster
which reduces the disaster phenomenon fatality by using IoT techniques.
Keywords- Disasters,IoT techniques.
I. INTRODUCTION
Disaster management is all about eliminating the threats and not about averting . Instead of
decreasing the disasters, plans are created and emphasized[1]. Natural and man-made are the
types of disasters. Natural disasters like Tsunami, hurricanes and earthquakes are not
considered as a cause of devastating evidence into transport infrastructure and building
structures but also in critical and essential infrastructures like communication systems, utility
services and power grids. Immediately after various disasters like earthquakes happened in
Haiti on January 2010, Christchurch on February 2011 and the people by the relief teams are
also collapsed by these natural disasters. The man-made disasters are events like nuclear leaks,
chemical leaks, structural damage, terrorist attacks and road accidents.
Because of globalization and urbanization, all those mentioned disasters are happening
most frequently in this century. Even though numbers of early warning systems were
available, the techniques of management are restricted to regulations and rules. In India, every
year the happening of disaster is increased.

In 2015, earthquake at Nepal, the communication system was in lack of ingenuity for
usage even though the communication technologies have great advancement. In such
kind of disasters-stricken areas, we know that the location assessing is crucial for 24 to
48 hours initially. To take decision analytically in life saving efforts, communication
plays a vital role. The victims who were trapped may have frequent questions like :
Where to get drinking water?
Where to get medical support?
Can this road lead to safer place?
How to shelter themselves from unconditional weather?
Those questions were answered with most proper and accessible information [3]. The
authorized officers and a rescue workers together coordinates and put efforts to access
the location of the victim who may get trapped or injured, but the relief efforts may get
delayed or often paralyzed, if the agency to response may fail to communicate with each
other. In early 70's the government organizations were established to control the damage
caused by disasters. Fuel challenges made by the organizations are insufficient IT
resources, lack of in-house employees and budget limitations. A vital role can be played
for better in-house expertise and special dish by ourselves. To satisfy the requirements, it
can be connected to the internet by interlinking them to the server which enables us to
satisfy. Because of the witnessed rapid growth in IoT, the embedded area exposes for
research with good opportunity. This paper deals about the technological area for the
implementation of an efficient management. For interlinking every department works
together, the connections support IoT is utilized oftentimes. So every department and
organization can work together as a unit for the effective output for rescuing plan of the
societies.
II. BASIC CONCEPTS OF INTERNET OF THINGS
The future internet of various interconnected devices is envisioned by the communication
paradigm called Internet of Things (IoT). Ashton Kevin coined the term in 1999 and
stating that IoT is an interoperable and identifiable connected objects by using a
technology called radio-frequency identification (RFID). In Tunis on November 17, 2005
in World Summit of Information Society ( WSIS), the concepts of IoT are recommended
by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) by releasing Internet Report of ITU
2005, 10 the IoT definition became very clearer[4]. IoT advancements can't prevent
calamities from occurring,
Implication of IoT [Internet of Things] in Public Projects
ISBN: 978-81-948555-1-4 69
yet can be extremely valuable for catastrophe readiness, like expectation and early
admonition frameworks. In this manner IoT can make up for a helpless framework that
places creating and arising nations in an especially weak position [5]. To all applications,
the IoT ensure services with the privacy and security requirements and it makes use of
things completely by taking various benefits of data capture, device identification,
processing capabilities and communication capabilities. From the wider perspective, the
IoT is a technology that perceives a vision with societal and technological implications
[6]. The IoT European Research Center (IERC) characterizes that IoT is "An organization
foundation which is all around the world dynamic with self-arranging capacities and
interoperable correspondence conventions where virtual and physical "things" have
physical attributes,virtual characters, personalities and utilize the astute interfaces, and
are incorporated into the data network consistently" [7]
Fig.1The IoT defined [8]
According to specialized perspective, the IoT is a worldwide foundation for the empowering
the high level administrations by interconnecting the things that are existing and advancing
interoperable ICT. Here, it is predicted that IoT is integrated with various leading advanced
technologies like automatic networking, machine-to-machine learning, decision making and
processing, cloud computing and privacy and security protection to interact with advanced
actuation and sensing technologies.

In Fig 2, it is shown that IoT already provides "any PLACE" and "any TIME"
communication and it adds the dimension of "any THING connection" to the ICT. In
recent years, the IoT is considered as a network that interconnects globally and
enables various interconnected services that are interoperable. The IoT enabled
technologies are illustrated in Fig 3.
Fig. 3 Enabling technologies for IoT [9]
The innovation behind this is Internet of Things (IoT), which is a high level and
productive answer for associating the things to the web and to interface the whole
universe of things in an organization. Here things may be whatever like electronic
devices, sensors and auto electronic gear. The torrent waves cause impressive
obliteration and slaughters individuals. The identification segment of the proposed
framework comprises of a microcontroller and a capacitive sensor to distinguish the
Tsunami event. The framework manages checking and controlling the conditions like
floods, Earthquakes with sensors and sends the data to the web page just as cautions
through SMS and afterward plot the sensor information as graphical measurements.
The information refreshed from the actualized framework can be available in the web
from anyplace on the planet.

III. IOT BASED CLASSIFICATION FOR DMS
In implementation point of view,the Fig 5 shows that the disaster management
systems can be classified as follows (a) Service-Oriented (b) Natural, (c) Man-made
and (d) Post-disaster management systems. The nature disaster that executives
incorporate timberland fire, tremors, volcanic and flood though the debacle the board
frameworks of man-made predominantly consider the mechanical and metropolitan
calamity and psychological oppressor assaults. The frameworks of post calamity the
board mostly center around casualty situating and localization.
A. Service-Oriented DMS
The novel techniques of DMS considers that the boosting objective of Crowdsourcing
``people as sensors'', is an idea which is recognized recently within the domain of
disaster management for incorporating huge and new datasets which will be
processed for retrieving information that are required. Crowdsourcing can be
either dynamic or passive, where people participate to supply data willingly or
typically platforms of social media are used to collect the data with or without
knowledge of the contributors. The platforms of active crowdsourcing are deployed
by authorities (Government or CSOs/NGOs) to accumulate the real-time information
from people who were affected by the disaster for improving the resource allocations
and emergency response. A variety of web-based and mobile based applications are
available for enabling active crowdsourcing in disaster-affected area.
B. Volcanic Disaster Management
In various ways, destruction and disaster are caused by Volcanoes in worldwide. The
volcanic eruption causes the drop of rock or harmful explosion. Second, during the
volcano eruption, lava could also be produced. Finally, volcanic ash may also form a
cloud, and may settle thickly in the nearby locations. Millions of lives are taken in last
century by Volcanic eruption. Artificial intelligence and Machine learning algorithms
are currently preferences to discover the patterns that are suspicious in the activities
of volcano.

Fig. 5 IoT-Based Classification for Disaster Management Systems
C. Flood Disaster Management
The most unfortunate occasions that happen in different nations around the globe
for every single year is Flood. As of late, to save the lives among influenced zones,
IoT has been applied. A coordinated flood and climate discovery and warnings
framework are proposed where Short Message Service (SMS)- based notice,
circumstance of the flood influenced territories, discernible alerts, perception that
depend on online interface is facilitated[12].
D. Forest Fire Disaster Management
The old accidents that happens on the earth is Forest Fire. As of late, different
ruinous occurrences were occurred, (i.e.) in Uttarakhand, India 7 individuals kicked
the bucket in the woodland fire where 4,048 hectares were scorched. Numerous
episodes likewise are going on around the globe all through year routinely [13].
Thinking about the Internet as a spine, novel FWI calculation was proposed in [14]
utilizing sensors alongside WSN for deciding the event of woods fire and dynamic.
E. Landslide Disaster Management
It happens at brief period, after fast deforestation or seismic tremor ordinarily
followed by hefty downpour. As of late, at Sikkim, a slope state in India, hardly any
setbacks was accounted for because of the successive rehashed avalanches. The
radiant showing is done at Dehradun, India, by fusing pressure sensor, dampness

sensor, slant sensor, strain measure with Arduino, geophone. The Zig-honey bee
handsets are utilized to send and get the dirt shifting data and dampness level. At
Idukki locale, Kerala, India, a comparative methodology is performed by Ramesh [15]
where downpour fall actuated avalanche was observed.
F. Earthquake Disaster Management
Tremor is the regular occasions which happen nearly 24 hours in many pieces of the
earth. It causes numerous individuals as destitute and bites the dust. The most current
occasion that was recorded in Nepal, April 2015, took around 9,000 living souls and
22,000 individuals were much harmed. Nonetheless, the scientists are tenaciously
connected with to devise and build up the IoT based model which will advise us the
potential areas of casualties that are distantly before the episode happens. At
Onagawa, Japan, one ongoing progression which is world class towards the IoT
joining with the quake observing is executed by 'NerveNet' [16].
G. Industrial Disaster Management
They are sufficiently enormous to get human lives and furthermore to harm the
laborers monetary condition, government and plants. The possibility of event becomes
higher with regards to coal, gas, oil and electrical ventures [16].
H. Urban Disaster Management
In metropolitan territories, the rundown of accidents are expanded in view of different
appalling occurrences. Predominantly, gigantic accidents, development mishap,
unapproved development of air vehicles and metropolitan flood are as often as
possible noticed. The danger factor will be high, when the catastrophe is identified
with any keen urban communities with greatest inclusion zones which are completely
furnished with advanced infrastructures. A tale procedure at this setting parts with of
checking the perils with its outskirts [17].
I. Terrorist Attack Management
It is one among the human-made calamities. Thus, powerful procedures were needed
to fight and protect the people in question. To anticipate the assaults, an engineering
which depends on IoT is proposed in [18].

J. Victim Localization
To more secure the casualties from a calamity, proficient confinement framework and
situating framework are fundamental [19]. Miniature Air Vehicle (MAV) was moved
toward productively in a shocking situation. To follow the person in question, Basiri
et al. [20] applied the idea of MAV to find a casualty with the assistance of a receiver
that has been appended.
IV. TECHNIQUES FOR DISASTER MANAGEMENT
A. Disaster management need
Disaster that management endeavors intend to lessen or dodge the expected misfortunes
from perils, guarantee fast and suitable help to the casualties of a calamity, and accomplish
a quick and compelling recuperation. It is essential that emergency clinics stay protected
and utilitarian during and after fiascos. Debacle the board alludes to the preservation of
lives and property during regular or man-made fiascos. Calamity the management plans
are multi-layered and are intended to address issues like floods, typhoons, fires, mass
disappointment of utilities, fast spread of sickness and dry seasons.
C. Managing Issues
Fig. 6. A disaster is occurring in given area.
In disaster management, lack of technical support is the main issue. Coordination in
preparing ourselves against disaster to face, management of team work while disaster
is occurring and meeting after effects which are never scheduled properly.how the
scenarios are considered while preparing to face a disaster as shown in Fig 6.
The events should be followed at the occurrence of disaster are:

technology for proper management. The systems are connected by the IoT technology.
The Fig 7.shows about the various department and contorl station with two way
communication which are involved. Likewise, the control station is centralised, so the
communication among the departments takes place easily. Thus, every department can be
brought which provides events control and flexibility. The entire rescue management can
be handled by an administrator or by administrating team. The disasters can be monitored
by the mobile application.

Abstract-With rapidly increasing global population fulfilling their food demand is a challenging and
major concern across the globe. Many people are already facing the issues of hunger due to urbanization
and different climatic conditions. More than one third of food is wasted due to improper maintenance
after harvesting. Postharvest losses are high developing countries comparing with developed countries. In
order to reduce post -harvest losses, a sustainable solution is needed with affordable cost. Post-harvest
spoilage detection increases the agricultural productivity, food availability, and eliminates the poverty of
farmers. Especially, cereal grains are highly affected due to post-harvest storage among all the
agricultural products and it is a most widely food in many countries. It is essential to develop highly cost-
effective system to prevent post-harvest losses of grains. With advancement of latest technologies, the post-
harvest losses can be reduced significantly with real time monitoring system. This paper introduces a low
cost IoT solution and advanced analytics to alleviate the problems faced by farmers.
Keywords-Post harvest losses, food safety, food grain, Internet of Things, Arduino, Sensors.
1. Introduction
The global population is increasing rapidly and it will reach 9 billion by 2050[1]. There
will be a huge demand for food supply to the entire population. The gobal food production
have to be increased and food safety need to be ensured. Also many people are
undernourished due to poor agricultural practices. Most of the countries focused on
increasing agricultural production and proper usage of land for cultivation to satisfy their
food needs. But the food wastage also increased because of post harvest losses and it
requires extra attention. Especially in developing countries majority of losses occuring
between harvest and distributing to the customer. Considering the total loss, 75 per cent of
the post-harvest losses occur at the farm level and about 25 per cent at the market level

[15]. Mainly, controlling the humidity of the non-perishable foods are essential for
maintaining the qualtiy in storage. The figure 1 shows the improper storage of food that
leads to the loss of quality and quantity. The post harvest loss includes quantitative and
qualitative loss along with supply chain starting from the harvest to consumption. The
figure 2 shows the post harvest loss components. The quantitave loss may be measured by
weight of the food. The qualitative loss is measured interms of nutritional value, color and
change of taste in the food. The quantitative loss may occur due to pests or environmental
changes. Qualitative loss may occur due to pests, rodents and birds.In developing
countries, agricultural sector provides major source of economy . Unfortunately, the poor
farmers are not able to afford the advanced technologies for food protection. Thus it is
neceassry to develop solutions to reduce the post harvest losses with minimal investment
and increase the high return to farmers.
Post harvest loss includes the loss during the process of harvesting of crop,
threshing, winnowing, drying, bagging, storage, and transportation until its consumption.
The loss in every stage can not be completely controlled but it can be lessened. The loss
due to poor harvest management is one third of the harvest. This high loss is due to
inappropriate management of food grains and inadequacy of facilities [12].

Quantitative Loss
Qualitative Loss
Storage of foods play a major role in eliminating hunger problems of many people.
Proper storage and maintenance of foods after harvesting increases the profit of the
farmers. But the unscientific design of storage structure may leads to the loss and it cannot
gurantee the protection against pests, moisture and other unpredicted happenings [13].
Most of the farmers are storing their food grains in open space, baskets and polypropylene
bags. These poor storage methods results in loss and leads to food insecurity. Therefore an
efficient infrastrucutre need to be developed with the help of latest technologies to prevent
the post harvest loss of food grains. Timely monitoring of parameters are essential inorder
to preserve the quality of the grain. Also in developing countries various extension
programs need to be conducted to farmers [14].
Figure 2. Components of Post Harvest Loss
Post harvest loss is a multifaceted problem and it varies depending on the storage
practices, weather conditions and the economical position of the countries. Many countries
depend on grains for satisfying the needs of an individual. The grains should be stored and
monitored properly until its consumption [19, 20]. Due to vital importance, monitoring of
grain storage is an significant task and requires a technology intervention. It is very
imporatnt to provide safety for grains to ensure quality that have direct impact on the
people those who are having grains as essential food. The effective monitoring system
with differenet measure and means need to be deployed to ensure safety and increasing
farmer’s revenue. To avoid spoilage of the grains a safe storage management must be
provided. In Internet of Things(IoT) different objects are connected through wired or
wirless connection. The objects in IoT exchange the information and provide intelligent
services to the user with the help of Internet. The IoT devices performs sensing, gathering

and processing the data. IoT provide various services such as tracking the objects,
healthcare, environmental moniotring, home automation and smart security. The proposed
system introduces an IoT based solution to protect food grains from post harvest loss and
also provide real time information about the storage area. The main contributions of the

2. Related Review
Purandare et al[2] proposed a machine learning approach to increase the productivity and
reduce the post-harvest loss of the farmers. Machine learning technique is used to predict
the harvesting time, probable diseases based on collected data dynamically and send
notification early to the farmers. Sensors are used for measuring the temperature and
humidity of the grains stored in go down. Shilpa and Sheeba [3] proposed an automated
real time monitoring system to monitor the temperature and humidity of storage area and
communicate the status to the farmers. The system was designed using Arduino and GSM
module to improve the quality of storage place. They also used flip switch for security
purpose and ultrasonic sensor for detecting the pests.
Akilaand Shalini [4] proposed an automated storage system using humidity, temperature
andgas sensors. These sensors are used to measure the quality food grains stored in go
downs. The proposed system monitors the environmental parameters and send notification
to the system administrator. Nayanietal.[16] proposed an IoT device to capture the moisture and
temperature inside the warehouse. Based on the captured value, the alert message will be sent to
the warehouse manager or farmer. This system used temperature sensor and humidity sensor to
monitor the status of grains in storage.
Implication of IoT [Internet of Things] in Public Projects
ISBN: 978-81-948555-1-4 81
Onibonoje and Olowu [17] introduced an application based wireless sensor network to provide
automated monitoring system. They have considered the real time variation of temperature,
humidity and light illumination parameters for controlling the monitoring system. The different
hardware components used in their model are XBee transceiver, Arduino platforms, and relay
modules. The accuracy of this monitoring system was 96%. Kumar and Lakkannavar [18]
proposed a granary environmental monitoring system using ARM and ZigBee. They are using
sensor nodes to determine the environmental parameters. Their model considered temperature,
CO2, humidity and light intensity as a variation parameter to measure the quality of grains.
In addition to that various food storage monitoring systems are developed to monitor various food
items like apple, longan fruit, maize and others [5,7, 9,]. These monitoring systems used Fuzzy
logic controllers [8], Raspberry pi [11], microcontroller with relay module [10] and ESP8266
microcontrollers [21]
The main goal of the proposed approach is to reduce the post-harvest loss by deploying
various sensors and increases the profit to farmers.
3. Issues and Challenges in Existing Storage System
Generally, the grains are stored in bags or bulk mode. The common storage structure for storing
food items are underground structures and surface structures [21]. In underground storage structure
well like structure is preferred. These structures are made up of mud, stone, brick and cement bin.
The storage capacities of these structures are in the range of 1.5 to 150 tones. In surface storage
structure, the grains are stored in either bags or bulk storage. If the grains are stored in bags it is
easy for transportation. Bag Storage is safety and maintains the grains always dry. In bulk storage
the grains are stored in either bin or silos to store large quantity. In this method, the grains are
stored in air tight container and it is protected from pests and other threats.
The most common methods for storing food grains are covered storage, Silos, Cover and Plinth. In
covered storage method, the food items are grains are stored in bags and the bags are kept in
godowns. In CAP storage method, the grains are covered with water proof material. CAP storage
is subject to vulnerable to wind and it should monitor frequently to prevent the damage. In silo
storage method, the grains are stored in bulk. Steel or reinforced concrete is used for constructing
silo structures. In the existing storage methods various issues need to be considered to ensure the
safety of food.
The different issues faced by these storage structuresare food degradation, poor storage facilities,
frequent changes in environment parameters, unavailability of storage capacity, handling pests and
insects [21]. Whatever may be the storage method, food degradation is a serious problem while
considering the quality. Due to various reasons such as environmental conditions, chemical
Implication of IoT [Internet of Things] in Public Projects
ISBN: 978-81-948555-1-4 82
reactions and insect manifestation the food undergoes deterioration. Later, the food grains are unfit
for consumption. Due to poor economic conditions the farmers are not having proper storage
facilities to store grains. The food grains are affected by pests and insects. Lack of safe storage
structure leads to cracks, shrinking and breaking of grains. Changes in environmental parameters
like temperature and moisture affects the quality and leads to the growth of molds.
4. Quality Measures
Maintaining the quality of grains stored in warehouse is essential for ensuring the food
safety of millions of people. The various threats to grains stored in warehouse are insects,
fungi, sprouting, loss of germination, handling damage, rodents and birds. This leads to
both quantiative as well as qualitative loss. Various factors such as humidity,temperature
and CO2 levels are mainly affect the quality of grains.The temperature is a major factor
that affects the quality of storage. Constant temperature need to be maintained to preserve
the quality of the grains. During storage, the following characteristics of grains need to be
considered like grain volume weight, pourability, temperature, moisture content, purity
levels. Extraneous temperature and moisture have a significant impact on the quality of the
grains.
It is important to monitor the variation in temperature in order to maintain the quality of
grains. If the temperature is greater than 15o C then the insects and molds are grow well
and also leads leads to mycotoxin development and insect activity. If the temperature is
low, then the growth of insects and other threats are avoided. In order to maintain constant
temperature a sensor is required for continuous monitoring.
High moisture content affect the quality of the grains, which leads to fungal, pest problems
and germination. The moisture level of the grains are measured using mixing ratio, relative
humidity, absolute humidity, specific humidity, dew point, frost point, volume ratio.
5. Grain Storage Monitoring System
This section provides the methodology adopted for monitoring the stroed grains in storage.
The figure 3 show the working of real time monitoring system. This system uses three
sensors namely, temperature, humidity and gas sensors in storage area and sends the
information to the IoT device.

Figure 3. Model of a Grain Storage Monitoring System
DTH11 sensor is used as a Temperature and Hunidity sensor that is interfaced with
Arduino microcontroller to measure the varitions in temperature and moisture content.
Temperature and humidity sensor is connected to 3rd pin of Ardunio controller. This
sensor monitors the variation of temperature in stroage area. It also measures the water
content that is present in the atmosphere and it moniors the humidity level.
Gas sensor is used to measure the concentration of CO2 present in the stroage place. This
sensor is connected to 5th pin of micro controller. Based on the variation of CO2 value this
sensor gives the various output voltage. MQ-2 sensor is used as gas sensor which is highly
sensitive to alcohol, LPG and smoke. The gas sensor measures the value of CO2 in terms
of PPM only. The figure 4 represents hardware of the IoT Monitoring System.

The Arduino Uno is a microcontroller board based on a removable, ATmega328 AVR
microcontroller. This controller consists of 20 digital input/output pins out of which 6 can
be used as PWM outputs and 6 can be used as analog inputs. Programs can be loaded on to
it from the easy-to-use Arduino computer program. This microcontroller is able to read
inputs from sensors and a finger on a button and produces output in different methods.

The IoT device inspects the values of sensors on different timestamps round the clock.
Then these values are compared with threshold value. If the environment parameter values
are more or less than the threshold value an alert message will be send to the
corresponding person. The workflow of the monitoring system is depicted in figure 5. This
automated monitoring system has been suitable for all types of strorage structures.

MQ-2 sensor is used to measure the carbon dioxide present in the storage area. This sensor
is used to detect the spoiled food grains. Whenever carbon dioxide gas is detected the
Arduino conroller sends the message to warehouse manager or farmer then the corrective
action will be taken to protect the grains. The temperature, humidity and CO2 value is
monitored at different timestamps.

6. Conclusion
Production of food grains in India is 291.95 million tonnes during the year 2019-2020
which was higher by 6.74 million tonnes than the production of foodgrain of 285.21
million tonnes achieved during2018-19. Eventhough the production is huge, the post
production loss is heavy due to various reasons. It is necessary to strengthen the
conventional stroage system to minimize the post-harvest storage losses. Ensuring safety
to food stored in storage area is the current need. The proposed system introduced
automated monitoring system to protect the grains stored in storage area using different
sensor devices such as MQ-2 and DH11 sensor by reducing the usage of man power. In
future, the concept of machine learning can be incorporated to make the system intelligent
and smarter.

I. Introduction
The Retail industry in India has been grown abundantly that it has become one of the
top places for global investment. In Indian Economy retailing has become one of the main
pillars as it gives more income to the government. Creating a customized solution in Retail
sector will mainly help the customers in getting a proper delivery of goods, service and a
good customer experience.To improve the customer experience in shopping the retailers
have started using smart devices and IoT. Retailers are focusing on emerging technologies
to give a better shopping experience for the customers.
IoT refers to Network between physical objects called things, these things are
embedded with electronics, networks, software and sensors. The emerging of IoT has
improved many things in our life. The main four fundamental concepts of IoT are
sensors/Devices, connectivity, Data processing and User interface. The data from the
environment is collected by the sensors. Each data collected from the environment has
Implication of IoT [Internet of Things] in Public Projects

different level of complexity in collecting it. The data can be either in the form of video,
monitoring temperature or any type of values. The datas collected through sensors are
stored in cloud infrastructure. A communication medium is used to connect the sensors
collecting data with the cloud infrastructure. The connectivity medium either can be
mobile, wifi, WAN, Bluetooth and satellite networks. Data Processing is done on the
gathered data in the cloud. The processed information will be seen by the end user through
their mobile phones by SMS and by sending E-mail or any other text messages. The user
need an interface to interact with the IoT, the user interface is just an application in a
device used by the customer. The device can be a laptop, mobile phone or a desktop. The
user interface can be done by touching , Voice controlled or any other interface through
apps.
Some of the main applications of IOT are Smart Thermostats, Connected Cars,
Activity Trackers, Smart Outlets Parking Sensors, Connect Health, Smart home, Smart
supply chain.
II. Related Work
The Warehouse inventory management must take into account several aspects, the
tracking of inventory must be done perfectly even there is no direct contact with the
product. Smart communication technologies like Facial Recognition, Vision technology
and RFID has to be used in the stores to change them in to smart stores[1].Smart retailing
is the combination of smart technologies like IoT with retail to give a better outcome.
Identifying the location of the product is called Localization which is important for smart
retail. Component Location, Data filtering, data collection and data mining component are
the four components for Localization[2]. RFID technology in the retail industry does not
need any human to keep track of the product location in the shop.Moreover web 2.0 tools
has made a great impact on the retail organization in increasing its productivity ,the
organization revenue is improved and it is mainly useful to help in the satisfaction of the
customers while purchasing[3].

to categorize the products by its color, size etc. and also to to know in prior the
information about the items that run out of stock. IoT is also helping the retailers in
logistics. Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) and Global Positioning System (GPS) is
playing a vital role in delivering the product to the customers. The information is gathered
in cloud by tags so that the system can track the item and inform the person incharge about
the status of the product. Retailers can easily identify where the product is mishandled
during online shopping. The customers are mainly important for any type of business. So
IoT devices are connected with mobile, desktop or any social media to collect all the
information about the customers. The informations will be like what customers have
bought earlier and what product they like to buy in future, customer age, occupation,
gender etc. E-purchase of clothes has made a revolution by introducing smart mirrors.
Smart mirrors has given a new online shopping experience by giving voice recognition
and face recoginition to help the customers to find their matching clothes and other
suggestions by giving the customers tips personally. Sensors are used to automate the
service which efficiently increase the production level. Automated inventory system helps
to reduce cost in losses obtained by overloading of stock. Money spent on sales person or
security is also reduced. By these methods IoT has brought a great change in the Retail
Industry. It is acknowledged that IoT will disrupt the retail industry quickly in the future.
ii) Automatic Business process by IOT
According to the standard Industrial Classification (SIC) retail industry is defined as a
business which buy new or old goods from any other business or manufacturers and sell it
to the public without making changes or alteration to the goods. Everyday IoT has
significantly changed the business process, Using IoT the customer will be guided directly
to the product what they want to buy using the devices enabled with IoT. IoT devices are
helpful in creating new models , to increase the productivity which in turn increases the
sale. Checkout process is optimized in retail business using IoT where the customer is
charged and the checkout process is done automatically and they need not stand in Queue.
Labour cost and time is reduced due to this automatic process.
RFID is mainly used for identifying and tracking the product because it is mainly
focusing on the identification number which is unique. The tag has 3 main sections they
Implication of IoT [Internet of Things] in Public Projects
ISBN: 978-81-948555-1-4 90
are active, passive and semipassive tags. Among the three tags passive tag has gained
more importance because of its low size, consumes less power and there will not be any
interference issue in any type of hard environments. The carrier signal in the reader
specially powers the passive tag. When the passive tag passes through electromagnetic
zone the tag gets activated. It is very hard to use the active and semi-passive tag as it is of
big size and it operates by battery. Even though in many applications RFID tags are used it
is very well suited by identifying and tracking the objects in inventory[4].
Intelligent warehouse data management system supported the IOT get a great deal of
information of various product through the utilization of advanced sensing element
technology, and on the basis of web and cloud computing technologies, achieves
intelligent process and management of the products in in/out of storage and product
handling method, rising the efficiency of warehouse management and cut back the error
rate for enterprises. Also reduces prices and also the work of workers. a lot of and a lot of
enterprises can adopt it to urge greater help for the socio-economic and speedy
development of enterprises[6]. The Bar code reader alone cannot help to improve the
inventory system with the low level of Technology. The proposed system here uses the
902 MHZ RFID tag, Microsoft visual studio and MYsql and the platform is developed in
C# in ASP.NET. This work helps to reduce the human effort in inventory management
and it is also used to increase the improvement in Inventory management in Warehouse.
AS usage of RFID is increased in the application of inventory management.[12]

V) RFID:
Radio Frequency Identification tags used along with IoT will be able to maintain a
correct record of the items stored in the shop. It is cost effective as it works with a battery and
does not need any power supply separately. It makes the inventory management more accurate ,
and the time is also saved as there is no barcode scanning. RFID helps the retailers to spot each
product in the shop and it helps to trace the product from the first level of production till the sales
of the product. This technology uses radiowaves to read from the device. It has a microchip
installed in its antenna. The reader will be able to either read and write information in tag. The
tag is a tiny microchip embedded with a small aerial which holds all the information about the
product in digital format. The tag is of material like plastic or paper attached to the product
package or in the truck carrying the product. The information collected by the reader is
processed by computer program. The reader can be placed any where in the shop or organisation
to track the items when it is moved. RFID tracking has more advantage than the barcode reader.
Even at a distance of several metres the tags can be read. At a particular time several tags can be
read simultaneously. It avoids stock being overloaded or understock of any item in the
enterprise. It also provides security to the item. As the cost of RFID tagging is reduced it has
attracted many retailers recently.
III Methodology
A model is proposed in this research work to reach the full potential in IoT. In this
section the technologies and the method used in the proposed system is discussed. Arduino
UNO is used to track the stock in the shop and give an alert when the stock is decreased.
RFID is used to read the information related to the product. This RFID technology is used
to locate the product, read the product, compute the information about the product and
updating about the location of each product. The RFID tag can be attached with the
shopping cart to get a better experience and give a stress free shopping to the customers.
The network connectivity is provided by WIFI . The status, availability and the details of
the product are stored in the cloud. All these data can be accessed through the application

tracked will vary. The proposed system should be able to store large amount of
information regardless of the size of the organization. The inventory must be up to date,
the response time of keeping track of the product should not have any delay. The system
should provide the accurate information of the product to the customer. The backup of
data should be done properly to maintain the correct data in case of any failures or to
prepare report of the inventory.
For a real time, inventory management, a proper communication has to be set
between the server and the inventory tracking system. The quantity of the item is updated

Abstract-With an improvement in innovation and scaling down of sensors, there have been endeavors to
use the new innovation in different territories to improve the nature of human existence. One primary
region of examination that has seen a reception of the innovation is the medical care area. The
individuals needing medical care administrations think that its pricey this is especially evident in
agricultural nations. Therefore, this paper is an endeavor to take care of a medical care issue right now
society is looking in our country. The fundamental goal of the paper was to plan a far off medical care
framework. It's involved three principle parts. The initial segment being, recognition of patient's vitals
utilizing sensors, second for sending information to distributed storage and the last part was giving the
recognized information to far off survey. Far off review of the information empowers a specialist or
watchman to screen a patient's wellbeing progress away from emergency clinic premises. The Internet of
Things (IoT) ideas have been broadly used to interconnect the accessible clinical assets and offer
brilliant, solid, and viable medical care administration to the patients. Wellbeing checking for dynamic
and helped living is one of the standards that can utilize the IoT preferences to improve the patient's way
of life. In this paper, we have introduced an IoT design tweaked for medical care applications. The point
of the paper was to fabricate a Remote Health Monitoring System that can be made with locally accessible
sensors with the end goal of making it moderate if it somehow managed to be mass created. Thus the
proposed design gathers the sensor information through Arduino microcontroller and transfers it to the
cloud where it is prepared and broke down for far off survey.

1. INTRODUCTION
The Internet of Things, generally curtailed as IoT, alludes to the association of
gadgets (other than commonplace toll like PCs and cell phones) to the Internet. Vehicles,
kitchen machines, and even heart screens would all be able to be associated through the
IoT. What's more, as the Internet of Things fills in the following not many years, more
gadgets will join that rundown. IoT system encourages sellers to receive arising IoT
innovation and convey it in the most limited time conceivable[4]. With the assistance of
IoT system, merchants will actually want to diminish the time it takes to create items and
administrations dependent on the Internet of Things. IoT structure enhances items
dependent on it to find different gadgets, look after availability, send information and deal
with that information cleverly. The IoT structure by Allerin is based upon a protected
establishment where security, character and information authorizations are given first
concern system lessens the general chance to construct IoT-empowered items by
quickening the improvement cycle which thus decreases the time needed to send the item
and invigorates development[2].
As we are moving towards a cutting edge world, the need for a more brilliant and
shrewd wellbeing observing framework is getting vital both in rustic and metropolitan
hospitals. According to a study led by GSMA, by 2020, there will be 2.0 billion IoT
gadgets sent yearly to the consumers.10% of these gadgets will liable to be utilized for
more astute medical care. Patient’s physiological information is utilized by specialists and
experts to all the more likely comprehend their wellbeing. These data is moreover used by
friendly protection affiliations, and drug associations to all the more likely manage human
administrations, expenses, prosperity, and repayments A.Mdhaffar,T Chaari discussed this
possible eventual fate of numerous organizations being developed of IoT items for clinical
applications[1].
In this chapter, we propose an ease, far off, solid IoT-based wellbeing observing
framework R3HMS that permits the specialists and clinical staffs to screen patients in a
more adaptable manner. The methodology depends on gathering physiological
measurements by means of clinical sensors and sending gathered information to a far off
worker through remote web passage. A specialist or an approved clinical individual can
Implication of IoT [Internet of Things] in Public Projects
ISBN: 978-81-948555-1-4 102
get to this information from any far off place from the cloud or portable application and
can call for crisis estimations if there should arise an occurrence of basic condition. This
task gives us the improvement of an auduino based framework for remote heartbeat and
temperature checking utilizing WiFi module[4]. By this we can undoubtedly give
continuous data accessible to numerous clients and can send them alert in basic conditions
over web. In India numerous patients are passing on account of coronary failures and
explanation for this factor is that they are not getting appropriate assistance during the
time frame. To give them ideal and legitimate assistance first we need to persistent
observing of patient wellbeing. The fixed observing framework can be utilized just when
the patient is lying on bed and these frameworks are colossal and just accessible in the
emergency clinics in ICU. The framework is produced for home use by patients that are
not in a basic condition but rather should be convenient checked by specialist or family.
II. RELATED WORKS
Day by day observing of medical issue at home is significant for a compelling plan
for early determination, therapy, and anticipation of way of life related illnesses like
adiposis, diabetes and cardiovascular infections. While numerous monetarily accessible
gadgets for home medical care observing are generally utilized, those are lumbering as far
as self-connection of natural sensors and self-activity of them. From this perspective, I
have been building up a non-cognizant physiological checking framework without
connection of any sensors to the human body just as any tasks for the estimation. I built up
certain gadgets introduced in a latrine, a shower, and a bed and showed their high
estimation accuracy by examination with synchronous accounts of conventional organic
sensors straightforwardly connected to the body. To research that relevance to the ailment
observing, I have built up a checking framework in mix with all the checking gadgets at
emergency clinic rooms and recently did the estimations of patients' medical issue.
Further, in this investigation, the ailments were estimated in 10 patients with
cardiovascular illness or rest issue. From these outcomes, the patients' ailments, for
example, the body and discharge weight in the latrine, the ECG during scrubbing down
and the beat and breath rate during resting were effectively observed in the medical clinic
room, exhibiting its handiness for checking the ailment of the subjects with cardiovascular
illness or rest problem [3].

These days, Heart-related infections are on the ascent. Heart failure is cited as the
significant supporter of the abrupt and surprising passing rate in the advanced pressure
filled way of life around the world. A framework that cautions the individual about the
beginning of the illness prior naturally will be a help to the general public[7]. This is
reachable by sending progresses in remote innovation to the current patient observing
framework. This paper proposes the improvement of a module that gives portability to the
specialist and the patient, by receiving a basic and mainstream strategy, recognizing the
irregularities in the bio sign of the patient ahead of time and sending a SMS caution to the
specialist through Global System for Mobile(GSM) subsequently taking appropriate
careful steps consequently diminishing the basic level of the patient. Overall reviews led
by World Health Organization (WHO) have affirmed that the heart-related sicknesses are
on the ascent. A considerable lot of the heart related issues are ascribed to the cutting edge
ways of life, food propensities, weight, smoking, tobacco biting and absence of actual
activities and so on the post-usable patients can create entanglements whenever they are
released from the medical clinic. In certain patients, the heart issues may reoccur, when
they begin accomplishing their normal work. Henceforth the ECG of such patients should
be checked for quite a while after their treatment. This aides in diagnosing the ill-advised
working of the heart and play it safe [5]. A portion of these lives can regularly be saved if
intense consideration and cardiovascular medical procedure is given inside the purported
brilliant hour. Along these lines, the requirement for guidance on direct clinical
consideration and advancement of good wellbeing by quiet observing and follow-up gets
unavoidable. Thus, patients who are in danger necessitate that their heart wellbeing to be
checked much of the time whether they are inside or outside so crisis treatment is
conceivable. Telemedicine is generally viewed as a component of the inescapable eventual
fate of the advanced act of medication [4].
III. PROPOSED SYSTEM
Web of Things (IoT) is the arising worldview, which contains colossal measure of
brilliant item and keen gadgets associated with the web for speaking with one another.
These keen gadgets are utilized to gather heartbeat, temperature and so forth, which are
utilized to assess the medical issue of the patient. Conveying the gathered data to the
specialist, settling on precise choice on the information gathered and advising the patient
is the difficult errand in the IoT. This framework recommends the patient with clinical

IV. CONCLUSION
The primary target of the undertaking was effectively accomplished. All the
individual modules like Heartbeat identification module and far off survey module gave
out the expected outcomes. The planned framework modules can additionally be improved
and created to a last single circuit. More significant actuality that surfaced during project
configuration is that all the circuit segments utilized in the far off wellbeing discovery
framework are accessible without any problem. With the improvement in the coordinated
circuit industry, Micro Electro Mechanical Systems (MEMs) and microcontrollers have
gotten reasonable, have sped up, scaled down and force productive. This has prompted
expanded advancement of implanted frameworks that the medical care experts are
embracing. These inserted frameworks have likewise been received in the Smartphone
innovation and with expanded web infiltration in most agricultural nations through cell
phones, and with utilization of Internet of things (IoT) will get embraced at a quicker rate.
Far off Health Care framework uses these ideas to concoct a framework for better personal
satisfaction for individuals in the public eye. From a designing viewpoint, the undertaking
has seen ideas procured through the software engineering and implanted examination
period being basically applied. The Electric circuit examination information was utilized
during plan and manufacture of the individual modules. Electromagnetic fields

INTRODUCTION:
The Internet of Things (IoT) is the system of physical gadgets, vehicles, home
apparatuses, and different things inserted with hardware, programming, sensors, actuators,
and network which empowers these things to interface and trade information, making open
doors for more straightforward joining of the physical world into PC based systems,
bringing about proficiency enhancements, monetary advantages, and decreased human

efforts. The quantity of IoT gadgets expanded multi year-over-year to 8.4 billion out of
2017 and it is assessed that there will be 30 billion gadgets by 2020. The worldwide
market estimation of IoT is anticipated to reach $7.1trillion by 2020. IoT includes
broadening web network past standard gadgets, for example, work areas, workstations,
cell phones and tablets, to any scope of customarily idiotic or non-web empowered
physical gadgets and regular items. Installed with innovation, these gadgets can convey
and interface over the web, and they can be remotely observed and controlled.
IoT includes expanding web availability past standard gadgets, for example, work areas,
workstations, cell phones and tablets, to any scope of customarily stupid or non-web
empowered physical gadgets and ordinary articles. Implanted with innovation, these
gadgets can impart and associate over the web, and they can be remotely checked and
controlled. Figure 1 shows the fundamental model of a ‘Web of Things’ based checking
framework.

The levels of food contamination have reached an all-new level. To preserve the taste,
freshness, and color of the foods, even fresh fruits and vegetables are loaded with chemicals
and preservatives. Taking into consideration the increased use
of chemicals and preservatives, it is extremely important to avoid junk food. However, when
it comes to fresh fruits and vegetables, it is impossible to avoid them considering their dietary
significance. This is the reason why it is extremely important to wash fruits and vegetables in
the right way using a vegetable and fruit cleaner. To help you understand the side effects
of preservatives, in this blog we discuss the diseases caused by excessive use of
preservatives.

Types of Preservatives
There are two types of preservatives that are mostly used:
Natural Preservatives
There are some preservatives that don’t use any chemicals to alter the composition or are
not mixed with any synthetic items. These preservatives have antioxidant properties,
which delay the oxidation or aging process of food items. Sugar, oil, and salt are some of
the naturally occurring preservatives. This is the reason why pickles last for years as a
result of the combination of oil and salt. Curing, jellying fermentation, and freezing are
some of the natural methods to preserve foods.
Artificial Preservatives
These preservatives are artificially produced and also synthetic in nature. The food
products that have artificial preservatives come with ‘additive’ food label. Jams, different
types of spreads, packed juices, ketchup, and baked foods are loaded with artificial
preservatives. This is the reason why you need to check the food label carefully before
purchasing a food item.
As the name suggests, preservatives are used to preserve food items. These preservatives
help in increasing the shelf life of food items and also maintain the flavor of food for a
long time. However, all preservatives used in the food items are not bad for health. Natural
preservatives, which are used to preserve food ‘as is’ are not harmful to your health. The
reason is they are not mixed with synthetic items and the chemical composition is not
altered.
Artificial or Chemical preservatives which are used to delay the contamination of
foods are the ones which lead to health problems. These preservatives are artificially
produced and synthetic in nature. These are often labeled as additives on food labels.
Diseases Caused by Preservatives
Using a lot of preservatives have a negative impact on your health. Listed below are some
of the health problems that you may suffer from if you eat foods loaded with
preservatives.
Implication of IoT [Internet of Things] in Public Projects
ISBN: 978-81-948555-1-4 111
Heart Diseases
Cardiovascular diseases have become quite common and the presence of preservatives on
food items is one of the main causes of increasing heart problems. A research conducted
by InChem suggested that food preservatives can weaken the heart tissues. When you
consume the food items that have a residue of the preservative on the surface, it can
increase the chances of heart damage.
Breathing Problems
Preservatives and chemicals present on the food items also increase the chances of
breathing problems. According to research by MayoClinic, removing foods with
preservatives from the diet can help in reducing the symptoms as well as the severity of
breathing problems and asthma. Some of the preservatives present in food items such as
aspartame, sulfites, and benzoates aggravate breathing problems.
Cancer
One of the most harmful effects of preservatives on food items is their ability to transform
into carcinogen agents. Some of the food items consist of nitrosamines, a preservative
which has nitrites and nitrates, which mix with the gastric acids and form cancer-causing
agents. To ensure that you avoid eating this preservative, you need to avoid snacks or
meals that are loaded with nitrites and nitrates.

Those were some of the harmful effects of preservatives on our health. Considering these
harmful effects, it is advisable to pay special attention to what you eat. Avoid junk as
much as possible and make sure you wash the fruits and vegetables with care. Instead of
washing the food items with plain water, you can use the vegetable and fruit
cleaner from KENT, which helps in removing chemicals and pesticides from the surface
of the food. To find out more about KENT Vegetable and Fruit Cleaner.

oxidizes residual chemicals from food items and makes their consumption safe. It
eliminates the deadly pathogens present on meat as well as seafood, making it safe for
consumption.
Time saver cum lifesaver
With a vegetable disinfectant, you can skip the hassle of scrubbing and rinsing your
vegetables and fruits in warm water, which, nonetheless, doesn’t eliminate the residual
traces of pesticides and other harmful chemicals they are subjected to. Hence, a vegetable
cleaner, not only defends you against diseases but also saves precious time and energy.
Designed for comfort

on the wall and saves you a significant room, while KENT Counter Top Vegetable
Disinfectant has a sleek and compact design that can be easily placed in the kitchen with
other utensils.
Need for KENT Vegetable and Fruit Cleaner
Most of the fruits and vegetables that we purchase from the market come laced with
harmful contaminants like bacteria, viruses, and several other infectious agents. Simply
rinsing the food items with water does not remove these pathogens. Also, shell for some of
the vegetables like spinach can’t be removed to clean harmful chemicals, bacteria, and
viruses.
KENT Vegetable and fruit cleaner uses revolutionary ozone disinfection technology for
cleaning fruits & vegetables. The vegetable and fruit cleaner kills bacteria, viruses, fungi,
and other pathogens that are present on the surface of food items and keeps you safe from
foodborne diseases. Ozone technology used by the vegetable cleaner effectively oxidizes
residual chemicals from food items, making it safe for consumption. It has been found that
Ozone gas can, not only controls but can also kill Bacteria, harmful Viruses.

Abstract-The Internet of Things, as a technical compound, is driving vast revolutions in a variety of fields. In
this article, we look at one new situation, Mobility as a Service, in which the technological, legislative, and
social elements are all intertwined. We argue for the importance of interdisciplinary analysis that considers
all aspects of a framework that, in summary, seeks to improve the quality of urban life by gathering personal
data, monitoring citizens' activities, correlating it with a variety of other sources of data, and making the
findings publicly accessible. An architecture for the Internet of Things and People that is free, scalable,
mobile, and stable.The EPCglobal Network is broadly embraced, with IT businesses adopting the
standardised protocols into their own implementations providing the most support. For the good of humanity,
a user-centric, customisable "Internet of Things" with interaction possibilities. Flexible billing and
opportunity capabilities to encourage knowledge exchange are among the new dynamic industry models for
the Internet of Things.

1. Introduction
The Internet of Things (IoT) is a hot subject in the electronics industry, politics
circles, and engineering circles, and it's making waves in both the trade and mainstream
press. This technology can be used in a wide range of networked products, applications, and
sensors that take advantage of advances in computing power, electronics miniaturization, and
network interconnections to have previously unattainable capabilities.Many conferences,
papers, and news stories address and debate the future effects of the "Internet of Things
movement," from emerging commercial possibilities and business models to security,
privacy, and technological interoperability issues. Infrastructures, administrations, and people
have all been intertwined in a mutual, albeit non-linear, social growth loop in the past. In both
developed and emerging countries, transportation is a hot issue for major cities and
metropolitan districts. Public transportation is becoming an ever more important theme for
long-term sustainability, especially in densely populated areas.If it is accurate that the time
Implication of IoT [Internet of Things] in Public Projects
ISBN: 978-81-948555-1-4 120
expenditure (in hours) allocated to urban transportation has remained constant since the
1950s although the number of kilometers has gradually increased, it means that at least some
of the possible positive effects of transportation technologies (alternative modes of
transportation, advanced mobility systems) have not been completely deployed and therefore
have been wasted.
Now, instead of seeing mobility as an infrastructure challenge, people are planning
mobility as a service (MaaS) for the city.The modern smart and sustainable optimization of
urban mobility in dynamic and multidimensional metropolitan regions, however it
necessitates widespread, real-time data collection and study, rendering it an ideal Internet of
Things (IoT) implementation. As a result, it is essential to begin exploring both the
technological and social ramifications of IoT in order to fully understand the future benefits.
In this article, we look at the technological and social ramifications of the Internet of Things
in a particular setting: urban public transit. Recognizing the vital position of transit networks
for tomorrow's'smart' regions and towns, we suggest a new way of thinking about public
transportation based on a new premise: mobility should no longer be thought of as a simple
and standard public regulation, but as a commodity. As a result, mobility becomes an integral
part of urban policy growth. IoT allows for this creative approach to Mobility as a Service
(MaaS) that connects to stringent urban and social challenges from a technical standpoint.
From a sociological perspective, we focus on three major issues: the city as a whole,
constructive regulatory approaches, and technological confidence.Using a multidisciplinary
approach to mobility research has also helped to define critical fields for future research.
2. Internet of Things Communications Models
It's useful to understand how IoT systems link and collaborate in terms of their
technological communication models from an organizational viewpoint. The Internet
Architecture Board (IAB) published a guiding architectural paper for smart object
networking,39 which outlines a system of four common IoT communication models. The
following discussion introduces this structure and discusses the main features of each
paradigm within it.
2.1 Device-to-Device Communications
Instead of using an intermediate application server, the device-to-device communication
paradigm describes two or more computers that connect and interact directly with one
Implication of IoT [Internet of Things] in Public Projects
ISBN: 978-81-948555-1-4 121
another. This systems use a variety of networks to connect, including IP networks and the
Internet. These devices, on the other hand, often use protocols such as Bluetooth40, Z-
Wave41, and ZigBee42 to create direct device-to-device communications[1].
This device-to-device networks enable computers that follow a certain communication
protocol to connect and exchange messages in order to accomplish their goals.This
communication model is widely used in applications such as home automation systems,
which usually use small data packets to communicate between devices with low data rates. In
a home automation environment, residential IoT devices such as light bulbs, light switches,
thermostats, and door locks usually transmit tiny quantities of information to each other (e.g.,
a door lock status message or a turn on light command)Fig.1. Many of the interoperability
problems are highlighted in this device-to-device connectivity strategy.
Fig.1 Device-to-device communication model.
3. MaaS and the Future for Mobility
Mobility as a Service is a revolutionary solution to the convergence of public and
private transportation, made possible by the integration of the innovations discussed in the
previous segment into an organized infrastructure. As emerging technology and social
movements evolve, this model is beginning to expand across Europe and beyond, with the
goal of establishing norms for interoperability between various (even country) operators and
encouraging the development of alternative alternatives to the traditional "public transit /
private car" duality.In a nutshell, the MaaS theory says that travelers do not need to agree to a
single mode of transportation as long as every aspect of demand and supply for transportation
services is understood in real-time[2].
Instead, they would have a wide range of options from which to select, depending on
the needs of the moment. One could, for example, define a very specific collection of
Implication of IoT [Internet of Things] in Public Projects
ISBN: 978-81-948555-1-4 122
restrictions in terms of convenience and scheduling, which is likely to contribute to the use of
premium means, while another could simply convey the need to get to a destination at the
cheapest price, purchase a virtual ticket, and receive real-time guidance on which means to
use to complete the journey.There are several business models that can be used. A MaaS
operator could literally be a smart broker for arranging and paying trips on existing networks
in its most simplistic form. Selling mobility bundles that enable travelers to use pre-
configured numbers of various modes of transportation will be a more creative approach. A
MaaS network could be a fantastic opportunity for transport operators to optimize
convergence and maximize unused power[3].
For example, a taxi company that exposes vehicle availability and location in real-
time could provide cheaper fares at off-peak hours, making it appear as a viable alternative to
mass transit; data mining could enable operators to predict connections between different
factors (events, weather, accidents) and transportation needs, allowing them to distribute
materials in the most efficient manner possible. In an ideal world, the ICT infrastructure
supports these models by monitoring the timing, location, and availability of trains, buses,
subways, shared bikes, shared vehicles, taxis, Uber cars, Lyft cars, and other modes of
transportation, as part of a larger initiative to open data and standardize access interfaces.In
short, in a mobility sense, both users and operators will benefit from smart trip concepts,
provided there is adequate data storage and processing performance[4].
This is precisely the sort of difficulty that IoT architectures face. It's worth noting that
this move can cause major confidence problems in many ways. The organisation of
transportation infrastructures by public authorities means (at least in theory) that the rights of
travelers are secured. It can be impossible to check how confidential data is stored in a more
hazy situation.The central cloud is an IoT architecture term that refers to a diverse range of
networks, technology, and interactions. The consumer benefits from the IoT infrastructure's
massive capacity and large databases while also enriching the IoT by delivering useful data
from mobile devices' sensors and his own user interface, as well as adding additional
computing power[5].
The MaaS serves a dual purpose in that it combines infrastructure roles and user data to build
several layers of value-added applications that expand the range of IoT services available

4.A Possible Architecture for the Future Internet of Things
Although it is clear that there are and will be various approaches to the Internet of
Things, resulting in a wide set of Internet of Things implementations, we recommend an
architectural solution focused on extensions of a popular standardised open infrastructure –
the EPCglobal Network. A large number of items have been created and approved. Despite
the fact that it is still under progress, the EPCglobal Network provides a stable base.
However, as previously said, the Internet of Things necessitates a more holistic architecture.
The EPCglobal Architecture Framework can be used as a foundation for this.Layering of
specifications, isolation of data models and interfaces, availability of extension frameworks,
and definition of data models and interfaces, first in a neutral abstract fashion (e.g., utilizing
UML), then with explicit transport bindings (e.g., online services) and schema bindings are
all examples (e.g., XML)[6].
To address and balance core social and economic needs, a potential Internet of Things
must integrate stakeholders that will be impacted by the Internet of Things, such as residents,
small and medium companies, public agencies, and politicians.Users, enterprises, culture, and
the world all require applications that recognize and enhance the essential quality of life. For
new groups of smart Internet/Web-based public and business systems, the foundation would
need to include transparent architectures, protocols, and technologies. Business-centric apps
can be combined with social media for sharing knowledge and personalised perspectives.
Technology for serendipity can allow the discovery and extraction of valuable and
meaningful knowledge that is beyond personal expectations.Users would be able to get more

ISBN: 978-81-948555-1-4 124
detail on items (for example, where was an object made? – who historically owned it?). -
What was the purpose of it?) Instantly available at their fingertips, subject to privacy
legislation[7].
People would be able to contribute info, presentation, and functionality to the Internet
of Things through mash-ups and end-user programming. Things-generated ‘physical
environment' content from Auto-ID, sensors, actuators, or mesh networks can be mixed with
knowledge and activities from ‘virtual environments,' such as business databases and social
media, and analyzed utilizing modern business intelligence principles[8].
The results will be presented in a user-friendly format with simple interfaces and Web
2.0 features. The Internet of Things machine interfaces and the implementation of agile
methods would support direct action on the real world. Purchasing decisions can be assisted
by prompt access to critical information. In this case, agile methods apply to real-time
management and implementation skills when taking into account competing optimization
principles (e.g., shipment size).Information collaboration will be compensated with benefits,
such as transparent, flexible billing interfaces between a range of stakeholders, changing the
Internet of Things from a cost-focused infrastructure to a benefit-focused architecture that
will stimulate market creativity[9].
Integrated billing would fix distributed data ownership throughout the object life
cycle. Information can be traded in the same way as goods and services.The introduction of
open interfaces, protocols, and lookup services, as well as information services on mobile
devices, would bridge the gap between distributed intelligence principles (e.g., autonomous
logistics) and the Internet of Things, serving as a mediator among decentralized information
systems. As part of the core architecture, openness, scalability, and security will be discussed.
The social (e.g., government, privacy), operational (e.g., industries), and technological (e.g.,
infrastructures, identifiers) aspects of transparency are all essential[10].
The platform's connectivity and interoperability with mainstream enterprise software
systems will be improved, and its accessibility will demonstrate one potential situation in
which service creators (producers) and content customers (consumers) use the Internet of
Things to share benefits. Product and consumption statistics, as well as business ethics, are
examples of company data that can affect purchasing behavior. Citizens and public agencies

Conclusions
Mass transit is accepted as an infrastructure, it has the ability to become a smart tool
for local government. Urban mobility can be modified not only by a combination of
innovative and current technologies, but it can also be formed in response to evolving social
developments in the public and private sectors that impact urban life. In order to proactively
design smart strategies, it is critical to collect and store urban information that is not related
to urban mobility. Furthermore, IoT and MaaS can provide new opportunities for developing
and consolidating consumer trust and confidence in technology.Companies, governmental
agencies, and individuals will be able to use data for their own benefit, and financial and non-
financial benefit compensation will contribute to the Internet of Things' rapid adoption. As a
result, technical innovations have the potential to really inspire and support disruptive mobile
solutions. Yet, it may be so, only if we share a view where social, political and urban
demands match technical opportunities.

Abstract-Technology advances and the growing need for more efficient company processes necessitate new
forms of collaboration. The Internet of Things has been recognized as a significant future technology in
recent years, offering new possibilities for facilitating the sharing of information and real-time status alerts
on company operations. As a result, many companies have incorporated Internet of Things concepts to
develop their activities. This chapter discusses the difficulties that exist when putting the Internet of Things'
concepts into practice in terms of hardware, interoperability, and the design of IoT-compatible systems. This
chapter introduces the core theories and principles used to address the above issues of Internet of Things
implementations, as well as the EURIDICE project, which aims to conduct Internet of Things concepts to
provide an open intelligence forum for the transportation field using "Intelligent Cargo."
Keywords- EURIDICE project, Internet of Things, Intelligent Cargo.
1. Introduction
Technological advances such as RFID and intelligent mobile devices, which can be
connected to any form of product, are pushing the Internet of Things and Services vision.
These technologies bridge the divide between the physical world and its simulated
representation by allowing smooth recognition and interaction with other devices and the
environment, for example. This would result in a world of billions of objects that can
communicate their position, identity, and history by communicating with other objects or
systems through wireless connections.This vision will support potential opportunities for
business operations and business process management through organizations and SMEs
participating in the systems, but it will also pose new problems in terms of interoperability
and data consistency. While various implementations exist, most of which are inter-
organizational, transparent and standards-based systems are still needed for the realization of
the Internet of Things and Services vision in the logistics and supply chain management
sectors (SCM).The European Commission has initiated the EURIDICEproject as part of the
Framework Programme to recognise the possibilities that are unleashed in the transportation
Implication of IoT [Internet of Things] in Public Projects
ISBN: 978-81-948555-1-4 128
field through the availability of low and high cost technologies pushing the ideas of the
Internet of Things, such as RFID chips. The aim of this project is to use the technology and
resources offered to integrate a part of the Internet of Things and Services for the
transportation logistics domain, allowing for the long-term implementation of Intelligent
Cargo for the various stakeholders involved in the transportation business. Customs, ports,
airports, shippers, and forwarders are also examples of this.The EURIDICE project has over
20 partners from multiple industry sectors and government departments, meaning that the
project can have a transparent forum. The platform helps service providers to integrate
multiple transportation-related services, such as unsafe or high-value transportation, in an
open and freely customisable manner. For the project's assessment, transportation providers
and agencies are interested in the platform's design process, and pilots are set up for them to
demonstrate the system's applicability.
Through implementing value-added cargo-centric services on an object basis, the EURIDICE
framework and architecture open up new possibilities for collaboration across logistics and
transportation chains, enabling the vision of the Internet of Things and Services and the
introduction of Intelligent Cargo principles. EURIDICE presents these programs as Online
Services through a transparent, standards-based environment allowing enterprises to
seamlessly connect into their back-end structures, as well as facilitating the introduction of
business processes through organizations within the platform using these services.The
EURIDICE platform's foundation, which is focused on mobile agents, web servers, and their
mediation, will be discussed later in this segment.
In order to truly include a framework that meets the criteria of the Internet of Things model,
three interoperability viewpoints must be met:
a. The human-centric nature of interoperability is covered by the organizational
perspective, which includes universal approaches and mutual interpretation of values,
systems, attitudes, and terminology. This requires, for example, that a process's
initiator (e.g., an external system's functionality) is well aware of the (semantic)
effects of a service it consumes.
b. The IT systems viewpoint deals with the interconnection of two systems. This
viewpoint assesses interoperability on a physical level, which serves as the foundation
for two structures to communicate.
c. c. Code interoperability problems on the device level, such as the provision of the
appropriate data, data-formats, and representation, are addressed by the data
Implication of IoT [Internet of Things] in Public Projects
ISBN: 978-81-948555-1-4 129
perspective. It's worth noting that the data viewpoint recognizes all interoperability-
domains: semantic interoperability, which ensures that the principles and
understanding underlying the data are the same in all systems, and syntactical
interoperability, which refers to the readability of the dataformats. The first section of
this chapter, which covers facets of business operations and the Semantic Web, such
as automation, is closely related to the organizational viewpoint.
d. Autonomous action and reconfiguration, as well as a brief overview of key
technologies The second section discusses the IT structures and data perspectives.
e. e. The paper is divided into two parts, the first of which discusses the role of
ontologies in agent technologies and the second of which discusses the mediation of
agent technologies and web services in the sense of EURIDICE. The final section of
this chapter offers a review and perspective on the effect of Intelligent Freight on the
logistics industry and supply chain management, as well as future trends.
2. Semantic Web
The vision of the Semantic Web, also known as Web 3.0, is used to build and identify
supporting technology and principles for the realization of the Internet of Things and
Services. This vision explains how existing data can be given new significance, allowing for
the transformation of business operations through the use of various technologies. The
Semantic Web's core philosophy is to enrich accessible content with semantically defined
definitions in order to promote information processing and program integration.The Semantic
Web would give people access to a massive amount of human intelligence while still making
it machine-processable. This will allow the development of a variety of automated services
that will assist consumers and organizations in achieving their objectives by allowing them to
view and process data in a machine-readable format[1]. As a result, distributed
knowledgeable networks, like diversified logic facilities, may be implemented.As a result,
semantic convergence at various levels within an organization opens up new opportunities for
process integration, both within and across organizations, as well as across industries and
entire supply chains. The fundamental technologies for incorporating these processes at the
highest level, the corporate viewpoint, is Semantic Web Resources.
2.1 Semantic Web Services
The Semantic Web's innovations are designed to transform the web into a knowledge
source that computers can understand. This can lead to a network where computer algorithms
can process and reason with data that is currently only accessible in human-readable form.
Implication of IoT [Internet of Things] in Public Projects
ISBN: 978-81-948555-1-4 130
Web Applications technology and the principles of Service Oriented Architectures (SOA),
which are designed to promote an ecosystem where companies can have access to their
abilities through the Internet, are widely used to incorporate services that allow access to a
company's capabilities.A Web Services interface encapsulates computational resources,
enabling other organizations to find it via a registry (Universal Definition, Discovery, and
Integration–UDDI) and communicate with it through an interface description (Web Services
Description Language – WSDL). These well-known and generally recognized principles for
program delivery run on a syntactic basis, requiring a significant amount of human
interaction. It is important for developers to look for suitable Web Services in order to merge
them in order to incorporate those services. This limits scalability and significantly reduces
the economic benefit anticipated with the introduction of Web Services.Semantic Web
Services are an attempt to address these problems[2].
The Semantic Web Services vision seeks to tie together the Semantic Web's insights
and current Web Services technology. This would facilitate automated and interactive
connectivity between software systems, allowing the Internet of Things and Services to be
implemented. Web Services technology currently only supports a standard interface
definition, with no machine-interpretable detail about the features of the software framework.
Semantic Web Services principles resolve this problem by incorporating semantic knowledge
to Web Services.The aim is to explain them in a machine-readable way, with details about
what the program does and how it does it. This semantic knowledge opens up more
sophisticated possibilities for operation exploration than UDDI actually allows. Since
programs can be marketed and found more automatically and at a high speed, the
convergence of these innovations would allow the creation of more complex applications.
Furthermore, services may be automatically paired with more complicated services and
procedures[3].
Company procedures can also be improved; If a service is unavailable, a replacement
should be easily identified and added to ensure that the complicated service or procedure is
not interrupted. Semantic Web Applications technologies allows the identification of services
and infrastructure capabilities, as well as their exploration and interoperability. Semantic
Web Systems by themselves are inadequate for dynamic situations such as logic. Semantic
Web Services technology, on the other hand, is the enabler for the implementation of
automated web processes.
Implication of IoT [Internet of Things] in Public Projects
ISBN: 978-81-948555-1-4 131
2.2 Semantic Web Services Processes and Lifecycle
The implementation of Web Services was intended to allow for the composition of
loosely coupled web systems. Web processes, which are made up of Web Services, allow for
the depiction of dynamic relationships between various organizations and are an
advancement over current workflow technologies. As seen in the network process lifecycle,
applying semantics to web services can play a significant role. Web service semantics can be
categorized into:
a. Functional semantics describes the goals of programs and processes, as well as
knowledge about required inputs and outputs.
b. Data semantics are definitions of the input and output data formats for exploration
problems and a general understanding in correspondence of which data type to be
submitted and how the received data should be semantically understood.
c. Service Efficiency (QoS) Semantics are required for selecting the most appropriate
service. Different consistency aspects can be found in services, such as the cheapest
offer, the quickest delivery, and so on This opens up the prospect of finding and
choosing the service that ideally fits a desired standard criteria in terms of QoS. This
also allows for QoS-based monitoring of web operations and the evaluation of
potential solutions for future process changes.
d. Implementation Semantics describe the flow of message sharing and offer a
conversation pattern for the operation of web services, as well as the flow of behavior,
preconditions, and results on web service invocation, among other things. They are
discussing the required organizational experiences with a provider, which is
particularly critical for long-running interactions and complicated communications
involving multiple parties' services Fig.1.
Implication of IoT [Internet of Things] in Public Projects
ISBN: 978-81-948555-1-4 132
Fig.1 Web Process Lifecycle and Semantics
These semantics form the framework for the automated composition and realization of
semantic web operations, as well as the lifecycle that underpins them. The lifecycle starts
with the definition / annotation, then advertising, discovery, collection, and composition of
Web Services to create the web process, and finally the web process execution[4]. These
stages are all necessary for the web process's progress and should be followed by the
following steps:
a) Semantic Web Service Annotation
Web Services are defined with the various types of semantics that are available for
Web Services.
b) Semantic Web Service Advertisement
Syntactical and technical features of the service are published in a library using
semantics (different technologies are available, centralised, e.g. UDDI, and even peer-
to-peer).
c) Semantic Web Service Discovery
Syntactic knowledge, data, functional, and QoS semantics are used to discover
suitable resources prior to selection.
d) Semantic Web Services Selection
The best quality criterion match is obtained by choosing the most fitting service that
matches specified QoS metrics.
e) Semantic Process Composition
Implication of IoT [Internet of Things] in Public Projects
ISBN: 978-81-948555-1-4 133
Across supply chains, automating inter-organizational processes faces major
obstacles. Since Web Services are extremely autonomous and heterogeneous,
composition is a crucial step. Semantics improve the interoperability of Network
Services and the composition of web processes.
3. The Internet of Things in Context of EURIDICE
The Intelligent Cargo, which is expected to be a paradigmatic shift in the field of ICT
applications for transportation logistics, is the focus of the European Integrated Project
EURIDICE. Despite the availability of key technology such as RFID, high-speed broadband
networks, and Online Platforms, the majority of products continue to travel without the
assistance of information services, resulting in process inefficiencies, inadequate coordination
between supply chain players, and higher societal costs in terms of environmental effects,
protection, and security risks.Intelligent Freight, according to the EURIDICE view, links to
logistics service providers, industrial customers, and authorities to share transportation-
related information and provide relevant services as required in the transportation chain. In
order to function effectively, the logistics sector requires knowledge exchange between
logistics suppliers, customers, users, regulators, and other stakeholders.The aim of
EURIDICE is to provide a services portal based on the actual cargo item and its relationship
with the external world and the customer, allowing cargo objects and devices to conduct
simple transactions on their own and, as and when necessary, involving the users' information
systems. Consider the case of fresh fish being shipped by truck from an African supplier plant
to a local airport, where it is palletized and shipped to Europe by rail, going through customs
upon arrival, and then being transferred by train to a distribution center and then to the actual
customers who purchased the fish.Since fish is perishable, time is of the essence in this
situation, and quick handling is essential for a successful operation, particularly when the
cargo is passed from one operator to the next. However, the numerous organizations
participating with those supply chains often use proprietary Information Structures, which
makes it impossible to share the requisite data. This situation illustrates the interoperability
problems that EURIDICE faces[5].
The EURIDICE project aims to make it easier for different supply chain players to
collaborate by offering a shared forum with facilities for sharing transportation-related
data.The EURIDICE platform turns cargo into Intelligent Cargo by placing it at the middle of
the operation by supplying it with connectivity and processing capability. The Intelligent
Implication of IoT [Internet of Things] in Public Projects
ISBN: 978-81-948555-1-4 134
Cargo will take an active role in the transportation process by communicating with its
surroundings, accessing resources, and even providing services that are important to the
current situation, resulting in the development of an Internet of Things[6].
4. Interoperability in EURIDICE
Interoperability and standardised data structures are particularly important to the
EURIDICE project. The semantic barrier to cross-domain communication is minimized by
utilizing standard data structures and ontologies. This has been developed by the use of a
semantic structure that serves two purposes:
a) Encourage reusability, component-based architecture, and interoperability between
EURIDICE's core services and other business-specific services, such as end-user applications
and legacy systems.
b) Assist the EURIDICE service platform's context-awareness by defining a schema that
describes the cargo's conceptual knowledge and the associated application domains.
The EURIDICE Context Model (ECM) is a data and knowledge system that allows users to
access cargo-related data and resources from a variety of contexts and actors participating in
Intelligent Cargo applications. The ECM is built and defined around a central framework that
identifies the physical cargo, vehicle, and location. The model knowledge is arranged in
different layers across the physical kernel, adding details to enrich the background
description at different levels, as defined in the following sections.The Physical Layer
(kernel) defines the physical background of a cargo object when it can be sensed by on-the-
ground technologies (tags, readers, sensors, communication devices, etc.). The
Organizational Layer defines the freight context in terms of the entities that are involved in
cargo distribution, storage, and management. The Organizational Layer defines the freight
background in terms of cargo, vehicle, and infrastructure status (such as cargo temperature,
congestion, and so on), as well as current and scheduled operations.The Regulatory Layer
describes the cargo context in terms of laws, conventions, and policies developed by the
various public and private stakeholders involved. The three domains listed above are
interconnected by the Cargo Domain, Transportation Domain, and Environment Domain.
Because of its transparency, familiarity with the Cyc-ontology, and interoperability
characteristics from the IT structures and data perspectives, the EURIDICE Context Model is
portrayed in the Cyc Knowledge Base.The Cyc-ontology is often used as a top-level ontology
Implication of IoT [Internet of Things] in Public Projects
ISBN: 978-81-948555-1-4 135
to support the EURIDICE Meaning Model. Cyc enables logic and incorporation of live data
as well as on-the-fly error detection since it has a large commonsense knowledge base[7].
The concept of Cyc micro hypotheses, entities, collections, and predicates is used in the
framework for domain information formalisation in Cyc. Micro theories are used to represent
ontology's thematic subsets or meaning. Cyc collections are classes that share similar
attributes among their instances. The EURIDICE was integrated using the following
methodology.
a) Domain information identification
Domain experts determine which EURIDICE-related domain keywords are relevant.
Domain-specific details, such as EURIDICE Context Model entity names and
descriptions, are determined in this module. Hundreds of transport and cargo-related
business records, such as bill of ladings, consignment notices, customs documents,
and so on, are also analyzed and consolidated.
b) Domain subset extraction
In the domain subset extraction module, the appropriate domain ontology subset is
extracted from a multi-domain ontology based on the defined domain knowledge. The
upper-level domain extractor uses keywords to limit the multi-domain ontology to the
unique domains of interest at the beginning. The domain knowledge extractor then
uses the information from the EURIDICE Context Model entities to create the
EURIDICE-relevant Cyc Knowledge Base subset.
c) Domain relevant information preprocessing
The relation recognition module linguistically preprocesses the information from the
domain information module and the derived EURIDICE-relevant Cyc KB subset.
Tokenisation, stop word elimination, and stemming are all part of the preprocessing
phase.
d) Relation Identification
A prioritized list of important Cyc principles and potential new relationships is
developed. The EURIDICE Context Model uses entities and definitions, as well as a
related subset of the Cyc Knowledge Base, to generate a ranking list of similar terms
for each EURIDICE Context Model object during relation recognition. The
EURIDICE Context Model is used to capture transportation domain information. This
expertise is built on a foundation of domain-specific and standardised knowledge.
Implication of IoT [Internet of Things] in Public Projects
ISBN: 978-81-948555-1-4 136
e) The EURIDICE Architecture
The EURIDCE project does not seek to develop a new supply chain management
mechanism that can be used by all members and will replace current systems; rather,
it will enable them to exchange relevant knowledge and resources on a shared,
trusted, open forum. Open specifications such as SOA, Online Services,
Frameworkfor Intelligent Physical Agents (FIPA) principles, Business Process
Execution Language (BPEL), and ontologies are used to construct the platform.
There are modules on the fixed network that provide facilities for a variety of
products. The identification and discovery aspect offers services for uniquely
identifying an entity and locating its ACA using that identifier. Since information
about one object may be categorically passed to other objects in the same hierarchy,
hierarchical positioning allows for the elimination of contact actions. The location of
all freight items shipped in the same vehicle, for example, is approximately similar.
The EURIDICE Meaning Model and ontologies are included in the Semantic System,
as defined.
The EURIDICE network is divided into two sub-platforms: the fixed platform, which
includes the back end and services, and the mobile platform, which includes the computers
and services that accompany the freight in the sector. The following are the Agents that
represent an Intelligent Cargo item:
a) The Assisting Cargo Agent (ACA). The ACA is the simulated world's reflection of
the freight. It uses traditional Web Server interfaces to provide services to other back-
end services and programs. It also serves as a single point of contact for dealing with
the individual freight object in the region, and where back-end resources are needed,
it acts on its behalf. As a consequence, in the EURIDCIE fixed platform, it is
conceptually the freight object itself.
b) The Operational Cargo Agent (OCA). The OCA assists the actual cargo object in
the real world by communicating and engaging with its climate, as well as tracking
cargo requirements such as temperature restrictions. It senses the cargo's geographical
background and invokes or provides local services, such as customs clearance papers.
It may also invoke global resources in the back-end, such as traffic statistics, through
the link with the corresponding ACA Fig.2.
Implication of IoT [Internet of Things] in Public Projects
ISBN: 978-81-948555-1-4 137
Fig.2 EURIDICE Architecture Overview
A single freight object is supported by the mobile platform modules as it travels
through the transportation phase. It can scan for and access sensors in its immediate vicinity
thanks to the sensor access component. The local rationale and business logic elements
provide a local context based on the observations and define violations of the cargo's mission,
such as delays or temperature limit violations. Both platforms provide a virtual service point
that serves as a portal to the EURIDICE components, allowing custom apps and services to
be developed[8].
6. Integration
To take advantage of the EURIDICE infrastructure's services, new technologies must be
designed on top of it, and existing legacy systems, such as ERP systems, must be adapted and
made interoperable between organizations across the supply chain. The EPC Information
Services (EPCIS) standard for data exchange across organizations is a well-known and
commonly used EPCglobal standard. It provides facilities for capturing, querying, and
subscribing to market object-related activities. The EURIDICE Infrastructure expands on this
Implication of IoT [Internet of Things] in Public Projects
ISBN: 978-81-948555-1-4 138
standard, making it applicable to all things handled by it.Enterprises who already use EPCIS
services can explicitly access and communicate with Intelligent Cargo items; otherwise,
adapters can be added to the VSP to translate data from the EURIDICE Background Model
into a system-specific representation[9]. As seen in the diagram, the orchestration part of the
EURIDICE architecture will create and implement cross-organizational business processes
based on these and other EURIDICE resources Fig.3.
Fig.3 Combination of EURIDICE Services to Business Processes
Since the architecture is heavily dispersed among the participating organizations, identifying
the correct service provider for a specific freight item is critical to effectively operating these
business processes. The ACA for the freight package is the primary source of knowledge and
is specifically linked to the item; it can be identified using the discovery app. It may be able
to provide additional information sources, such as the EPCIS services in charge of this
particular piece[10].

7. Conclusion
While the idea of the Internet of Things and Services has been around for a while,
real-world implementations have yet to appear. It envisions a world where companies and
customers will profit from value-added services. Technology is advancing in accordance with
this vision, however, as with all visions and their applications, research and development are
needed to pave the foundations for meeting the priorities and objectives. It is undeniable that
it can be done; however, specifications and transparent interoperable platforms are needed to
enable effective implementation using existing ICT infrastructures.There are tools for
implementing virtual business processes; the next step is to incorporate business processes
that are linked to real-world objects. As a consequence, methods for allowing these objects to
live in a virtual environment are needed. The technical framework, as well as the definition of
agents and related technology, are all available. However, in order for the Internet of Things
vision to be broadly embraced and applied, open standards-based frameworks for simple
adoption and participation of companies in an integrated virtual and real world are needed.
For the logistics field, EURIDICE seeks to fill the difference between the virtual and physical
worlds.It adopts the principles of Multi-Agent Systems and enables convergence with current
and future systems through a SOA, providing a shared language for all three viewpoints of
enterprise, IT systems, and info. Such systems aid the transition from conventional, structured
planning and decision-making systems to distributed, intelligent, cooperative systems,
placing human objects and their relations with their environments at the core of processes.
The Internet of Things and Services are expected to become a possibility in the future as the
requisite technology become accessible and applicable. It's no longer science fiction; it's the
near future.

Abstract: According to US Census Bureau projection, India would surpass China as the most
populous country of the world with its projected value of 1.396 billion against China
population of 1.394 billion. Further India would consolidate its position as the most populous
country of the world by 2050 with 1.656 billion people against China with 1.303 billion [76].
According to World Bank Report released in June 2013, 2o C rise in the world’s average
temperature can be expected in the coming decade, which will make India’s summer monsoon
highly unpredictable. The situation of rain pattern leaves some areas with under water and
without water for power generation, irrigation and may be in some cases even for drinking
water too. It was warned that India will see a significant reduction in crop yields as a result of
extreme heat by the year 2040. The situation of water precipitation availability will be
reduced and further ground water resources will fall down to critical levels. About 15 percent
of the country’s ground water tables are overexploited. Water resources from river basins are
expected to reduce further which could impact food adequacy for about 63 million people
[43]. In order to better manage the water demand optimally there is a need of adopting new
and innovative techniques which will conserve the need of water for irrigation process. This

1. Introduction
Food and Water are the basic needs of human sustainability. It is important to focus on crop
productivity and yield. Insufficient crop production could lead to starving for food situation.
Water plays predominant role in crop production and supplying water for dry lands is known
as irrigation [6]. Agriculture contributes to a major share in the Indian economy and most of
Indian people are dependent on agriculture for their livelihood [51]. According to Statista
Implication of IoT [Internet of Things] in Public Projects
142 ISBN: 978-81-948555-1-4
Research Department (2021), approximately 60 percent of the Indian population works in the
agriculture industry, contributing to 18 percent to India’s GDP [64]. According to US Census
Bureau projection, India would surpass China as the most populous country of the world with
its projected value of 1.396 billion against China population of 1.394 billion. Further India
would consolidate its position as the most populous country of the world by 2050 with 1.656
billion people against China with 1.303 billion [76]. According to World Bank Report
released in June 2013, 2oC rise in the world’s average temperature can be expected in the
coming decade, which will make India’s summer monsoon highly unpredictable. The
situation of rain pattern leaves some areas with under water and without water for power
generation, irrigation and may be in some cases even for drinking water too. It was warned
that India will see a significant reduction in crop yields as a result of extreme heat by the year
2040. The situation of water precipitation availability will be reduced and further ground
water resources will fall down to critical levels. About 15 percent of the country’s ground
water tables are overexploited. Water resources from river basins are expected to reduce
further which could impact food adequacy for about 63 million people [43]. Thus, the natural
irrigation system is under pressure due to the growing water shortages, which is mainly
caused by population growth and climate change, and this change in climate affects the
agriculture crops production significantly. Prediction of harvesting yield well before
harvesting enables the farmers and government officials to take necessary strategies and
measures related to water resources management through measuring various parameters
related to irrigation system [56]. Approximately, 70% of the water withdrawn from various
fresh water resources is used for agricultural activities and better irrigation practices [26].
Drip irrigation has received considerable attention from policy makers, researchers and
economists for its significant capability of contributing to improve water resources
development, agricultural productivity and economic growth as well as environmental
sustainability [36]. In order to better manage the irrigation demand optimally there is a need
of adopting new and innovative techniques which will help conserve the need of water used
through drip irrigation process. IoT under wireless sensor networking environment as an
innovative technique can be used not only in monitoring the environment, agriculture
informatics and disaster management [56] but also to monitor various parameters related to
drip irrigation practices [62] [7] [79][56][63][64].
2. Objective of the Chapter
Effective irrigation water management begins by regulating and timing the irrigation water
Implication of IoT [Internet of Things] in Public Projects

application in a way that will satisfy the need of crop without wasting water, soil and crop
nutrients. It involves water supply to the crop at tolerated rates as per the soil characteristics.
Thus measuring volume of water flow with water flow meter and regulating it in fields is
becoming essential in irrigation water management [70].
Therefore objective of this chapter is to explore and inform about the use of latest information
communication technologies with sensor controlled and automated methods of drip irrigation
to measure regulate and optimize water usage.
3. Previous Works done on Drip irrigation & Sensor Controlled Drip Irrigation
Drip irrigation and Fertigation technology were practiced earlier for the purpose of
improving yield and improving use efficiency of water and fertilizers [25]. Under the drought
conditions and little rain, managing water resources for irrigation purposes become crucial. At
present, drip irrigation technology is a modern water-saving system with more precise water
quantity control and higher water use efficiency. Irrigation for better crop growth and yield
would depend on environmental conditions such as water, fertilizer, gas, heat and the soil
water [82].
In the past, some of the following researchers have carried out work on IoT related automated
or smart irrigation system.
Nawandar & Satupte (2019) [51] worked on IoT based low cost and intelligent module for
smart irrigation system to provide intelligence to the device that considers current sensor input
in order to provide decision support on irrigation schedules for efficient irrigation. Shekhar,
Dagur, Mishra, Tom, Veeramanikandan & Sankaranarayanan (2017) [66] worked on
developing intelligent IoT based automated irrigation system for the purpose of sensing data
pertaining to soil moisture and temperature captured and accordingly KNN (K-Nearest
Neighbor) classification machine algorithm deployed for analyzing the sensor data for
predicting towards irrigating the soil with water. Intelligent IoT has the capability to provide
decision support by actuating irrigation schedules, fertilizer schedules, crop rotation decision
and information about birds scaring system to farmer mobiles (Kait, Kai, Khoshdelniat, Lim
& Tat, 2007) [35]. IoT also helps in developing an automated field specific irrigation system
with soil moisture sensor and sprinkler valve controller [81]. IoT can be considered as a low
cost technological solution for providing sensor based networks for better crop management
[48]. Abioye et al. (2020) [1] have worked on IoT based monitoring and data driven modeling
for drip irrigation system for mustard leaf cultivation experiment. They developed a robust
Implication of IoT [Internet of Things] in Public Projects
144 ISBN: 978-81-948555-1-4
monitoring framework for irrigation system to predict the volumetric soil water content.
Further the application of Internet of Things (IoT) and Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) for
monitoring smart irrigation system has been successfully implemented by [57][58] in passing.
An IoT is used for smart irrigation management system using machine learning and open
source technologies [24].
Also the previous works on IoT based drip irrigation system include the works of Pratyusha &
Suman (2012) [60], Swamy, Rajesh, Pooja & Ramakrishna (2013) [74], Shiraz Pasha &
Yogesh (2014) [67] & Awati & Patil, (2018) [8]. Ouedraogo, Kebre & Zougmore (2021) [54]
have worked on using simulation technique for simulating water dynamics in soil under drip
irrigation in arid regions to better manage irrigation water.
4. Theoretical Background
Drip irrigation has received considerable attention from policy makers, researchers and
economists for its significant capability of contributing to improve water resources
development, agricultural productivity and economic growth as well as environmental
sustainability [36].
Drip irrigation is a type of micro-irrigation method. It allows slow application of water to
the soil consistency over longer period of time. In this method water is applied to field even
under low pressure to all plants [9]. Higher efficiency through drip irrigation is observed as
the water is supplied only to the roots before it gets evaporated and spraying all over the fields
[63]. Water use efficiency can be determined as follows [42]:
Water Use Efficiency (WUE) = 𝑊𝑢
𝑊𝑑 x 100
Where
Eu = Water use efficiency per cent
Wu = Water beneficially used
Wd = Water delivered
Water use efficiency is defined further as (i) crop use efficiency and (ii) field water efficiency
(i) Crop Water use efficiency = Yield of Crop / Amount of water depleted by crop in
Evapotranspiration
CWUE = Y/ET (kg/ha/cm3)
(ii) Field Water Use Efficiency = yield of crop (Y) / Total amount of water used in the
Field.
Implication of IoT [Internet of Things] in Public Projects
145 ISBN: 978-81-948555-1-4
FWUE = Y/WR (kg/ha/cm)
Drip irrigation consumes 40-60% less water than other types of irrigation farming (Bahinipati
& Viswanathan, 2019) [10]. It requires less labor for irrigation. A basic drip irrigation system
consists of a water supply unit, pumping unit, mainlines, laterals and emitters. Regulatory
components such as filters, pressure regulators, valves, fertilizer unit gate valves etc are also
become part of it. These pipes are made usually with Galvanized iron material. The minimum
cost of deploying a drip irrigation system for 1 acre of land is estimated to be around 60,000
to 75,000 INR [63].
IoT based smart irrigation management system can help in achieving optimum water-resource
utilization. It also help to predict the irrigation requirements of a field using the sensing of
ground parameter like soil moisture along with weather forecast data from the Internet [80].
Weather forecast parameters like precipitation, air temperature, humidity and UV. Sensor data
can be collected wirelessly over the cloud using web-services and a web-based information
visualization, decision support system and a real-time information system to provide analysis
and insights on a closed loop control of the water supply to an autonomous irrigation scheme
[24]. The data generated by different sensors in via IoT platform for conducting modern
agricultural operations enable better understanding in the interaction of dynamic changes of
the crop, soil and weather conditions, which help in predicting more accurate and faster
decision making in real-time towards achieving water-saving in agriculture [17]. Sukriti et al.
(2016) [72], have focused on reducing water wastage using smart irrigation system to achieve
optimal irrigation for continuously monitoring the water level.
5. Public Projects related to Drip Irrigation in India
Irrigation has been classified as a state subject in the Seventh Schedule of the Indian
Constitution and has been given infrastructure status by March 2017 by the Department of
Economic Affairs, Ministry of Finance. According to the Ministry of Agriculture and Farmers
Welfare of India, the status of Micro-Irrigation development statistics is given as follows:
India has approximately 160 Million Hectares of cultivable land. Only approximately 65
Million Hectares (MHa) i.e. 41% of this land is covered under irrigation (for FY 2012). Area
covered under Micro Irrigation was only 8.6 MHa. Compared to the potential of 69.5 MHa, in
which 4.7 MHa is covered under sprinkler irrigation (54.64%), while 3.9 MHa is covered
under drip irrigation (45.4%). Six states of India are covering 81% of the total area under
Micro Irrigation viz., (i) Rajasthan (20% share), (ii) Andhra Pradesh (15%), Maharashtra
(15% share), Gujarat (13%), Karnataka (11%) and Haryana (7%) [53].

The water usage efficiency under various irrigation systems has been show in the Chart 1.
Chart 1: (Source: Niti Ayog, 2017) [53]
Right now India is developing micro-irrigation based on Public Private Partnership
Program. Some of the expected outcomes of this program include water use efficiency and
increase in revenue to farmers [53].
World’s largest drip irrigation project in Hungund taluk of Bagalkot district of Karnataka
State of India was started in October 2016. It is a768-crore scheme benefiting around 15000
small and marginal farmers in 30 villages of Hungund taluk. It is being handled in joint
venture by Netafim India Private Limited and Jain Irrigation to run under BooT (Build, Own,
Operate, and Transfer) model [49]. This project has been executed under Krishna Bhagya Jal
Nigam Limited, a division of Water Resources Department of Karnataka to cover 12300
hectares of area with a worker order value of 4850 Million completed in 18m. The scope
includes the construction of water distribution system using High Density PolyEthylene
(HDPE) pipes, which is a thermoplastic polymer produced from the monomer ethylene to be
used for low pressure requirements and Poly Venyl Chloride (PVC) pipes for relatively high
pressure requirement because PVC pipes are must stronger and have stiffer materials [50].
The role of Netafim Company is to deal with precision irrigation, digital farming and
sustainable agriculture Digital farming helps farmers to get more yield from the crop, more
savings, more time for family. Drip irrigation transforms the life of farmers by enabling
higher yields while saving water, fertilizer and energy [52]. In this context Davinia Lamme,
the managing partner of Larive International, a Netherlands based company under public-
private partnership stated that to be made the solutions contemporary to the year 2030 in this
Implication of IoT [Internet of Things] in Public Projects
147 ISBN: 978-81-948555-1-4
automation era, “it is important to adopt long-term perspectives to water resources
management to solve the issues with innovative ideas and techniques” [45]. Therefore the
present focus is to see how best the water resources can be managed using IoT technology
applying to drip irrigation.
6. Methodology
Automated Irrigation system refers to the operation of the system that does surveillance and
works with minimum or no manual intervention. By adopting automation techniques, timers,
sensors, mechanical and computer appliances are used to make the irrigation process more
efficient by allowing workers to focus more on other important farming tasks. It eliminates
the manual operations of opening and closing valves, it optimizes the frequency of irrigation
and fertigation processes. Increased efficiency in water and fertilizer use and also minimizes
the loss of water from evaporation by allowing the system to operate during the night times
too. Thus it also optimizes energy requirements. However the system could be expensive and
demands uninterrupted electric power supply [71].
From the perspective of adopting it to projects (as a business process), basically CRASP
(Customer-Respond-Adapt-Sense-Provider) methodology [2] is adopted and then
subsequently found that it has been imbibed in Design Thinking methodology. CRASP
methodology is introduced by Dr. Mohammed Al-Sudairi and Dr. T G Vasista conceptually
with its corresponding diagram for the first time during the year 2013 at King Saud
University, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia and got accepted as a research paper by the prestigious
IBIMA Conferences during the year 2013. Design methodology is introduced in Hasso-
Plattner Institute of Design at Stanford University in California. The goal of design thinking
methodology is to help achieve innovating in computer engineering field in order to find
insights in terms of developing new projects and solutions. This methodology refers to an
Unified three-activity phases viz., innovation phase, execute phase and synthesis phase,
However its original design thinking approach is well known through its functional diagram
that refers to follow (i) empathize, (ii) define (iii) ideate (iv) prototype and (v) test [75].
In this study, a design methodology based on prototyping approach is proposed to be
followed. This methodology is intended to enhance the functionality of the test. Prototyping
process involves hypothesis setting, experimental planning and verification of failure factors
accurately.
Implication of IoT [Internet of Things] in Public Projects

It enables designers (represented by students and teachers) to apply materials and
manufacturing methods using digital models and physical methods rather than representing in
the form of images, which might convey a message of simple science fiction [39].
Rapid prototyping using experimental setup and its methods leads to depict itself as a
working model of an instructional product. It can be used early in a process to assist in the
analysis, design, development and evaluation of a product or project innovation [34]. The
purpose of opting the Rapid prototyping methods is to realize conceptual structure of the final
product without incurring much of the expenses as done for the full product development
cycle [33] so that feasibility of completing and the risks involved in the intricacies can be
understood better.
6.1 Techniques of Water Conservation in Agriculture
The following are some of the Technologies used for water conservation:
In-situ moisture conservation, reduction in seepage loss in channels, rain water harvesting,
surface and ground water management, use of water and energy efficient irrigation devices
automation of micro-irrigation (drip irrigation system etc are developed and available in India
[77].
(i) Research experience has proved that use of ‘mulch’ is an effective technology of in-situ
moisture conservation and it helps in reducing water requirement of crop from other sources
besides maintaining good crop yield [77].
(ii) Unlined tanks prone to heavy seepage losses (e.g. 300-400 litres/day/m2) and it is important to
reduce seepage loss to minimum level in a cost effective way thus can make the tank water
storage more effective. For this purpose Low Density PolyEthelene (LDPE) film can be used
successfully to effectively control the seepage loss. The film uses 200-250 micro thickness of
plastic film for lining tanks, ponds and reservoirs. By using this technique, about a maximum
of 95% seepage loss can be reduced. It costs about 15 lakhs of INR per unit in plain areas and
17.25 lakhs/unit in hilly areas. For the water harvesting scenarios, it costs 1.20 lakhs/unit in
plain areas and 1.38 lakhs/unit in hilly areas for a maximum commanded area of 2 Ha [83].
(iii) Development of rigid PVC tube wells, improved propeller pumps, improved foot valve, chain
pumps for water lifting in tribal area can suggested. Efficient reflux valve, safety device
against overheating of diesel engines, low cost well screens for shallow tube wells are some
of the water use efficient technologies developed under All India Coordinated Research
Project (AICRP) on optimization of ground water utilization through wells and pumps [77]
Implication of IoT [Internet of Things] in Public Projects
149 ISBN: 978-81-948555-1-4
However, this chapter deals with using the technique of automated micro-irrigation system. It
consists of three integral components viz. sensors, control valves and monitoring
software/decision support systems.
6.2 Automated Drip Irrigation
Automation in micro-irrigation system is achieved by having a centralized decision making
control device support with a set of hardware units such as controllers, valves, metering
pumps, flow transducers, sensors, relays etc., to carry out irrigation commands and sensors to
input environmental measurements for making better irrigation decision [19].
Precision engineering is defined as an efficient technique of water allocation characterized by
the optimal management and best collaboration of factors relevant to irrigation process
considering the agricultural production and crop cultivation. It highlights the water allocation
and integrated management contributing to the high-efficiency performance. There is a need
of taking the support of cloud and data oriented computing techniques for achieving irrigation
management and performance based water allocation in order to facilitate the promotion of
irrigation productivity with higher accuracy and reliable returns [46].
6.3 IoT Architecture for Drip Irrigation
In agricultural fields the problem of lack of water resources is minimized by better
managing the water resources. Our proposed Smart irrigation system diagram is shown in this
section that uses IoT system for conducting and regulating the drip irrigation method. A
Raspberry Pi3 B+ based micro controller system is proposed to be adopted to better manage
and control the water. Correspondingly the environmental parameters like soil moisture,
temperature and humidity will be observed and also the threshold value is set for operating the
pump i.e. to automatically switch off/on [27]. This proposed system will send the health of the
crop information to a web page of the internet and to a mobile phone. It uses sensors to
monitor the soil moisture content which depends on the valves of the system. These valves
can get turned ON/OFF automatically. Soil moisture, temperature and other parameter
conditions of the weather are sensed and the same information is sent to the micro controller
(i.e. Raspberry Pi in this case). The micro controller takes action corresponding to the sensed
and processed data. This information is provided to GSM (Global System for Mobile)
Communication, the signal of which is sent to user mobile as SMS (Short Message Service).
Thus capturing the total crop condition using IoT is possible to send it to nearest weather

station [23]. IoT Weather station using Raspberry Pi monitors humidity, temperature and
pressure over internet and thus measures environmental conditions.
7. Smart Irrigation System Component Description
(i) Water Flow Meter Sensor: Accurate flow measure both in terms of qualitative and economic
point of view is important in order to regulate the water flow rates in the irrigation water
supply pumps to avoid excess water supply thus damanging crops [70].
Hall effect flow sensor: YF-S201 ½ inch water flow sensor can be used that sits in line with
the water line and contains a pinwheel sensor to measure the quantity of water pumped
through it (elecroniccomp.com) [20]. The flow meter works on the principle of Hall Effect
sensor (Suresh, Balaji, Anto & Jenith, 2014) [73]. The Hall effect sensor is a transducer
whose output voltage varies in response to magnetic field (macrocontrollerslab.com) [47].
The flow meter is capable of measuring 1-30 liters per minute. It can withstand the pressure of
water <= 2.0 MPa. The water flow sensor is connected to a ½ inch pipe. As water flows
throguh water flow meter, Hall effect sensor senses the water flow and sends the data to
Arduino and from where the data is uploaded to raspberry pi [73].
Electro-Valve: Solenoid valves replace the traditional valves to control the flow. These valves
are operated either in ON mode or OFF mode and a pulse-width modulation approach is used
to control the water flow (Ibrahim, 2014). The qunatitiy of water flow is proportional to the
time-period for which the valve is being operated in ON state for a particular duration of
period. A 24v relay is used to ON or OFF the solenoid valve [61].
Drip Emitter: It is also called dripper or emitter. It is used to transfer water from water from
pipe. Typical emitter flow rate ranges from 1.52 – 15 litres/hour. Drip emitters employ silicon
diaphrams or other means to allow them to transfer to main line with a range of pressure
ranging from 56 – 280 KPa (8 to 40 psi) [42].
(ii) Soil Moisture Sensor
The soil moisture sensor is used to guage the volumetric content of water within the soil. It
works on the principle of voltage comparison (Geetha, Dhamodharan, Barani, Jegadheesan &
Gowthamkrishnan, 2020) [22]. Based on the value being displayed, control circuit motor will
Implication of IoT [Internet of Things] in Public Projects

start and it will pump the water. The value indicates whether the soil is dry or wet.
Corresponding the motor operate in order to fulfill the conditions of making the soil moist
(Das, Pal, das, Sasmal & Ghosh, 2017) [15]. A Soil moisture sensor (for e.g. YL-69) is also
called hygrometer.

Figure 2: Sensor relevant to Smart Irrigation (Source Google Images)
DHT11 Sensor: It is a basic digital humidity and temperature sensor that measures humidty
and temperature [20].
(iii) Water Storage Tank & Irrgation Pipe
The water storage tank monitoring system uses ultrasonic sensor to measure the water level
inside the tank. It is automated to switch ON and OFF the motor by comparing a threshold
level. It also uses a DHT sensor, which prevents the motor leakges by switching off the motor
automatically. Correspondingly it uses a GSM module to communicate the status of water
level in the tank for irrigation purposes to the user mobile [44].
Ultrasonic Water Level Sensor: The WL705 Ultrasonic water level sensor uses the latest
ultrasonic distance measuring technology for accurate results of water level monitoring. It is
an industry standard compliance 4-20mA output transducer. It requires no programming and
calibration [30]. It can be used in irrigation water supply applications for monitoring water
level in tanks and open channels.
BMP280 Pressure Sensors: In irrigation water supply application, it helps to monitor the
abnormal perssure of the pipe and a message is transmitted to the corresponding solenoid
valve to shutdown the system through a communication module such as Zigbee/802.15.4. A
Low pressure value indicates broken pipe or pipe failure topen valves. High pressure value
indicates that a value is not closed properly. Correspondingly drip irrigation system
communication is shown in the figure [12].

(Source: Bennis, Fouchal, Zytoune, Aboutajdine, 2015) [12]
(iv) Jumper Cables: A jump wire is an electric wire with a connector at each end that connects the
components on the breadboard (a device for temporary prototype with electronic test circuit
designs. It is used for interconnecting other devices used along with micro controllers like
sensors) internally with other equipment or components without soldering [4].
Figure 4: Jump cables, Breadboard & GSM SIM Module (Source: Amzazon.in) [4][5]
(v) D. C. Motor
Crops need an optimum level of water for agricultural production. But farmers cannot find
this optimal point, Farmers think supply and application of more water means more
agricultural production. But automated drip irrigation can help the farmers to find this optimal
point. To supply water through pipes, a DC motor pump under 12V is requierd [65].
(vi) Relay: Relay is an electromechanical switch. It is operated by a small amount of electric
current, which can control the switching activity of the large electric current operating devices
(where Arduino UNO can not) [55]. When the soil sensor gives the status of the soil to the
sensor amplifier, the micro controller displays the status of the soil on the LCD panel[41] and
controls the pumping motor through the relay [3].
Implication of IoT [Internet of Things] in Public Projects
154 ISBN: 978-81-948555-1-4
(vii) Power Supply: To aid in powering the board, a single 12V power supply component is used
[11].
(viii) IoT Weather Station: A weather station is an instrument or device that provides information
about the weather of neighbouring environment such as temperature, barometric pressume,
humidity etc. It basically senses and measures these parameter values. In addition to it it also
measures the light intensity, atmosphereic pressure and rain value [39].
(ix) Hybrid NodeMCU: UNO+WIFI R3ATMEGA328P+NODEMCU ESP8266 (compatible for
Arduino UNO) (robokits.co.in). This Hybrid nodeMCU is directly connected to the universal
serial bus port of the Raspberry Pi. The brain of the prototype is the ESP8266 based Wi-fi
module NodeMCU (12E) [39].
(x) Raspberry Pi, Cloud & Router: Raspberry Pi is a light weight micro computer that runs on
Linux Operating system capable of handling various hardware interfaces. Raspberry can use
Python as a coding language to receive data from serial port and resends it to the server
computer [73].
(xi) GSM SIM 800L: The SIM800 is a complete Quad-band GSM/GPRS module, that can be
embedded easily with the micro controller. It provides an industry-standard interface. It
delivers GSM/GPRS850/900/1800/1900MHz perforamnce for voice, SMS and Data with
lower power consumption [29].
(xii) Wireless Sensor Network and Zigbee technology: It helps to control the soil mositure, air
humidy and temperature and regulates the water pump, relay and buzzer. The data is
transmitted to web server using GPRS throguh mobile network [18].
Figure 6: Sensors to be used in Smart Irrigation (Source: Amzazon.in) [4]
(xiii) Computers & Mobile: Host computer (Supervisor) performs data processing to deterime the
irrigation time and outputs commands to drive appropriate actuators. Host computer stores the
the transmitted data related to status of irrigations sytem and display the overall system on PC
Screen in an interanactive way. Windows based Laptop pc uses a Delphi based software
Implication of IoT [Internet of Things] in Public Projects
155 ISBN: 978-81-948555-1-4
program to interact with embedded micro-processor based system through the serial port. The
Delphi program code consists of the code to initialize the bi-directional serial communication
between the PC and embedded micro-processor; the code can also be written to control the
water flow valves and fertilizer usage [13].
(xiv) User: User sents message to Raspberry Pi module. Pi also receiveds commands from micro
controller using Zigbee. Microcontroller controls the relay and ultirasonic sensor. If the water
level was low, Micro controller sends signal to the Raspberry Pi. It then sends signal to the
valve to turn ON/OFF as per the context [21].
8. Working Principle
This project is aimed to work on the principle of automatically sensing the data from various
sensors like soil moisture, water flow meter sensor, weather parameters like temperature,
pressure, density, humidity and rain value etc as mentioned earlier and transmitting the data
using Wireless Sensor Network to the microcontroller. Micro controller then will make a
decision on whether to start or when to start and stop the motor pump. In case of raining, rain
sensor value helps to send the command to microcontroller to switch of the motor. Thus the
real time sensing data helps in minimizing the wastage of water used during the irrigation
process. Similarly the soil moisture level monitoring system helps to control the water flow
available in the pipe [37]. It is proposed to use Hybrid system of microcontroller keeping the
alternate plan of making other micro controller to work continues to work. Raspberry Pi posts
the received values on the webpage [16]. ThingSpeak cloud server as a free cloud storage
provider helps Prototyping projects to make it cost-effective. The data from the cloud server is
fetched using HTTP POST request and stored in JSON format and can be extracted by the
android based ThingSpeak App. This app displays the data to the user in their mobiles [14].

1. System initializes with Raspberry Pi.
2. Water level sensor checks the level of water in the water tank
3. The soil moisture sensor checks the soil moisture content constantly
4. The camera installed with Raspberry Pi monitors the visual field scenario
5. All the sensors data through Wireless sensor network system gets updated to the web server
6. If the permissible level of water is reduced, then the relay connected to Raspberry Pi through
NodeMCU will turn ON the motor.
7. If the soil becomes dry, the motor connected to the relay will be switched ON to wet the agri-
field.

1.An overview of IOT
The Internet of Things (IoT) is a collection of interrelated computers with different accessories to
automate the day today operations between the source and destination using digital network technology.
It has the ability to transfer or exchange the between different locations using embedded techniques. The
major goal of IOT is to extend the services to the users with the help of various digital systems such as
computer systems, digital tablet, sensors, printed circuit boards etc.,
The term IOT was coined by Kevin Ashton in the year 1999,which was the base John Rokey’s toaster
system which enables or disables the connection over the internet. In late 2000 IOT was born and
extensively developed and incorporated in various applications by researchers to name a few smart
watches ,smart phones and other automated devices.
IOT systems are meant for smart system development in the virtual environment. It assist us collecting
the required data, with embedded components ,soft computing based algorithms users will be able to
process the data and produces the feasible output .The expected outputs can be achieved by the users
with a built in automated decision making system.
1.1 Components of an IOT system:
1) Sensor: It is a major component which is used to collect the data from the surroundings to analyse the
different levels of data. It is used to feed the data into the devices in continuous manner to produce the
expected output.
2)Network connection: Cloud technologies plays a major role to collect, store and transmit the data
as per the requirement.The sensors could be built in or external mode which can be connected using
different communication medium such as satellite and other wireless networks.
3) Processing the data: It fetches the data from the cloud and performs the respective operation
based on the application.The process could be temperature, reading on devices such as coolers or
heaters. However, it can sometimes also be very complex like identifying objects, using computer vision
on video.

2. Flood Control and Disaster Management
Flooding is a sudden surplus of water onto land that is generally dry. Floods are the most common
disaster in the earth. If you are not leaving flooded areas, it leads to death. The main reasons for floods
are heavy rain for long time, storms and dams overflow. It damages in the buildings It damages property
and the lives of humans To avoid this, the flood control and disaster management system is required to
avoid these kind of problems. Flood control refers different methods to decrease or avoid the harmful
effects of flood waters
3. Literature review
The Neuro-fuzzy controller based flood monitoring system using wireless sensor network (Syed
NazmusSakib etal 2016) comprise of the disseminated sensor nodes uses IEEE 802.15.4 protocol to
accumulate the sensor information it includes water level data from the river level, rainfall , wind speed
and air force related data from a designated location and to evaluate the proposed flood monitoring
