Smart Urban Ecosystems with IoT-Based Strategies for Traffic Optimization and Pollution Control

The current research is directed toward the usage of Internet of Things (IoT) solutions for the improvement of urban environment by joining traffic optimization and pollution management. Through the utilization of data-driven analysis and MATLAB simulations, research evaluates the effects of implemented IoT technologies on traffic management in urban areas and emission reduction. The research concludes that the IoT-related initiatives can make a great difference in improvements of traffic flow, reducing the levels of principal pollutants, and inspiring the move towards more environmentally-friendly modes of transport. Moreover the paper investigates the system’s resilient nature and energy efficiency making the case for a technological paradigm shift that will transform cities planning and governance. In addition to these challenges like privacy, data security, access of equitable technologies is also examined. The results of the survey strongly point out to the transformative power of IOT in the creation of cities which are pragmatic, sustainable and liveable moreover showing a future where smart technologies are indispensable part in the solving of the urban complexities and environmental management.
