Integration of safety and smartness using cloud services: An insight to future

Abstract

The problem of terrorist attacks has become a critical issue in today's world. To provide maximum security to the people, fastest detection and evacuation means are required. We aim at integrating intelligence and smartness using cloud based services to enable public safety. A smart city has a ubiquity of technology and inter-connected with government and private sub-systems to provide early response and security to the people. In this paper, we discuss an approach to detect remote explosives using wireless sensors and generate different levels of alert to notify the public. Using GPS tracking technology, the shortest routes are shown to users. Thus by integrating existing with upcoming technology, we provide a solution to make smarter and timelier decisions. © 2013 Springer Science+Business Media.
