Intelligent UAV in smart cities using IoT

The concept of a Smart City is becoming an increasingly important research area around the world. The amount of information collected and the number of stationary sensors, surveillance cameras and other devices that need to be places in a smart city is so vast that using a mobile platform to replace them can reduce the cost in both energy and resources. This paper proposes an open source intelligent IoT platform that would allow implementation of various Smart City services such as: smart home, smart unmanned aerial vehicle, smart energy grid, smart transportation systems and other possible future services that will evolve along with the consumer demand. A smart platform is enabled by Machine-to-Machine communications and multi-agent system architecture. Such a platform will allow solving multiple issues with the smart city implementation such as scalability, integration and interoperation of different IoT services and networks that are run on different hardware. We discuss the structure of such a platform.
