Internet of Things Based Model for Smart Campus: Challenges and Limitations

Internet of Things (IoT) provides a platform where devices can be connected, sensed and controlled remotely across a network infrastructure. In this paper we propose a smart campus model using IoT technology and its purpose is to achieve the intelligent management and service on campus. After analyzing various research studies, we have designed IoT based smart campus model which incorporates campus oriented application services. The designed smart campus model is worked the based on the idea of the three network hierarchy as perception layer, network layer, and application layer. Services will be provided to the end users via mobile application and display monitoring infrastructure by our proposed model. Before deploying such architecture, we have identified the challenges for design smart campus model. We have implemented some of the application services using hardware and software platform. Finally, we tested the viability of our proposed smart campus model by experiment. In experiment, it is revealed that our IoT based smart campus model based applications services are useful for campus students, teachers and campus communities.
