Simulation of Smart City Applications Based on IoT Technologies with CupCarbon

Increasing the population density in the city centers brings rapid urbanization and related problems. The studies based on new generation technologies are continuing to overcome these problems. Generally, these studies focus on the concept of the smart city. In this study, three applications have been developed that take into consideration the scenarios of smart cities' problems, such as vehicle tracking, detection of population density in the environment and efficient use of water resources. These applications have been programmed by the CupCarbon simulator used in wireless sensor network design for smart cities based on Internet of Things (IoT) technology. In these applications, different communication technologies such as ZigBee, Wi-Fi, and LoRa, which are suitable for smart city problem, are selected and modeled in CupCarbon simulator and performance analyzes are carried out according to the results. The results show that; IoT-based solutions for intelligent city applications can be achieved with high performance.
