Big Data in Smart Cities Market Drivers

Rising Deployment of Cloud Computing

The large amount of unsaturated data are collected and stored in the cloud or data center using data bases such as Hadoop and NoSQL. Parallel and Distributed algorithms, programming models can be used as data analytics for processing large data sets to obtain the value from stored data. IoT bridges the gap between the data generators and receivers through network technology. The IoT when integrated with cloud computing and big data analytical capabilities will enable the provisioning of innovative public and private services. One of the current trends in the Big Data Market in Smart Cities is the usage of Cloud computing as a storage to cut short the investment made on building a new infrastructure. It can be combined with IoT for the services such as providing a platform for service, software and infrastructure as a service. Cloud computing has made big data analytics approachable to everyone. Other technology such as ApacheS4, Strom and Spark streaming which can enable data storage and processing has been recently adopted to setup the seamless communication between the sensing devices. Governments of various countries are focusing on big data in smart cities as it can help in identifying the traffic snarls, energy consumption, infrastructure and citizen requirement. This technology will certainly grow and revolutionize the way of living, infrastructure, governing and thinking approach.

Rising Urbanization leading to increased efficiency requirement

Smart cities have played a key role in transforming the life of humans. The shift from traditional computing to a sophisticated computing with increase in connecting devices and sensors has made viable for living in smart environment. The urbanization does not depend not only on physical infrastructure but also on communication and social infrastructure. The big data and Internet of Things (IoT) has played an important role in the workability of smart city initiative by offering large amount of data collected through various sources. Such data mostly include the unstructured data collected by other means. IoT allows the integration of sensors, actuators, radio frequency and Bluetooth in real environment by highly networked services. The rising urbanization has also made the need for efficiency come more to the forefront of smart cities and thus big data plays a growing role in smart city development.

Big Data in Smart Cities Market Challenges

Concerns Regarding Data Privacy

The biggest challenge with Big Data is the sensitive issue of data privacy and security, which most organizations are facing. Privacy concerns are cropping up as companies feed more and more consumer and vendor data into advanced, AI-fuelled algorithms to create new bits of sensitive information, unbeknownst to affected consumers and employees. This is especially prevalent in smart city sector where a significant amount of consumer data is present and where consumer data collection has been at the forefront in terms of big data challenges. These data privacy concerns will hinder the adoption of Big Data in Smart Cities solutions.
