A similar system is illustrated in \cite{formisano2015advantages}, where the authors describe a smart traffic mobility management system for users to get real-time information +about traffic conditions, like \enquote{[...] speed, occupancy degree [...], CO2, NO2, O3, and noise.}. \subsection{Energy Management} \noindent - +With the increasing demand for energy in urban areas, IoT technologies can play a crucial role in optimizing energy consumption of electricity, thermal and gas in smart cities \cite{houssein2024internet}. +\cite{shatat2024smart} states that IoT-enabled smart grids can monitor and analyze energy usage patterns, allowing for better load balancing and demand response so that the energy is distributed to areas with the +highest demand. This can lead to reduced energy waste and lower emissions \cite{shatat2024smart}. \subsection{Healthcare} +\noindent +In \cite{malik2023smart}, the authors explain that IoT technologies can be used to monitor patients' health in real-time through sensors measuring for +example \enquote{[...] pulse, respiration rate, and skin temperature [...]}. +IoT technologies can also facilitate the secure sharing of sensitive patient information with authorized personnel \cite{malik2023smart}. +Those measures enables more effective monitoring and timely decision-making regarding patients' health conditions \cite{malik2023smart}. +\newline +\newline +Another important aspect which is being discussed in \cite{houssein2024internet} is that the application of IoT in healthcare can lead to improved healthcare accessibility for citizens, especially in remote areas. +This is achieved through telemedicine and remote monitoring, which allows patients to receive medical care without the need for physical visits to healthcare facilities \cite{houssein2024internet}. \subsection{Community} +IoT systems can contribute to the quality of life by improving the financial, ecological, and social aspects of a community \cite{houssein2024internet}. For instance, \cite{formisano2015advantages} describes a +system that allows citizens to find events in their area in order to engage with their community. Other than that, the authors of \cite{formisano2015advantages} also present a scenario, which they call +\enquote{Citizen Activity Enhancer} that allows citizens to share their activities with others, such as \enquote{[...] sports activity or shopping activities [...]} and to find other citizens with similar interests. \subsection{Waste Management} +\noindent +Waste bins equipped with IoT sensors send fill-level data to a central system, allowing waste management companies to optimize collection routes and schedules \cite{shatat2024smart}. This not only reduces operational +costs but also minimizes the environmental impact of waste collection by reducing fuel consumption and emissions due to unnecessary trips \cite{shatat2024smart}. \subsection{E-Learning} +\noindent +The integration of IoT technologies into smart cities has significantly transformed the landscape of e-learning. By enabling real-time interaction between physical and virtual educational components, IoT allows for a +more immersive and flexible learning experience \cite{bayani2017internet}. Smart devices, such as RFID-enabled whiteboards, wireless sensor networks, and cloud-based platforms, facilitate seamless communication +between students, educators, and learning resources, regardless of geographic constraints \cite{bayani2017internet}. +\newline +\newline +IoT enhances accessibility by enabling students to participate in educational activities anytime and anywhere. Learners can remotely access labs, perform virtual experiments, retrieve data, and submit assignments in +real time \cite{bayani2017internet}. Similarly, global access to digital libraries and educational materials becomes possible through interconnected systems, allowing students and teachers to engage with vast +knowledge bases without physical limitations \cite{bayani2017internet}. +\newline +\newline +Moreover, IoT promotes smart collaboration by creating interconnected networks of educational entities—students, teachers, and devices—supporting real-time group work and fostering efficient knowledge exchange. +This collaborative infrastructure not only improves the learning process but also encourages student motivation and participation in digital communities \cite{bayani2017internet}. \subsection{Smart Homes} +\noindent +Smart homes leverage IoT sensors to automate appliances and monitor environmental conditions, enhancing convenience, safety, and energy efficiency \cite{malik2023smart}. +Devices like surveillance cameras, smart lighting, and temperature controls transmit real-time data to a central system, allowing homeowners to manage their homes remotely \cite{malik2023smart}. +Additionally, connected homes can form networks, sharing information (e.g., outdoor surveillance) to contribute to neighborhood safety and broader smart city infrastructure \cite{malik2023smart}. \subsection{Safety and Security} - +\noindent +\cite{formisano2015advantages} introduce a \enquote{City Safety and Accident Management System} that uses IoT to gather information about criminality and accidents. In this system the citizen is the main actor, +who can report incidents, a so called \enquote{participatory sensor}. +\newline +\newline +The other user scenario that is presented in \cite{formisano2015advantages} is a system for managing risks of natural disasters and alerting citizens. The data is collected from sensors and humans, which is then processed +to provide information about the risk of weather events and send push notifications to citizens. \section{Disadvantages of IoT in Smart Cities}
