We are all familiar with the concept of Smart Cities. A smart city is a city that aspires to achieve the objectives of a future city by utilizing communication technology solutions and trends. The main objective of a smart city is to enhance the life of its residents by providing efficient infrastructure and services at a reduced cost.
The concept of a smart city is based on the integration of ICT and its trends. Development of smart cities is going to play a vital role in sustainable development of the word. And UAVs are going to play a major role in it. UAVs are involved in a wide range of applications and functions in smart cities. Some of these applications are monitoring traffic, key infrastructures and monitoring development work on a regular basis. UAVs can provide several services and opportunities that can benefit smart cities.
UAVs or drones are easy to deploy; they have flexibilities in performing difficult tasks, supporting high-resolution imagery and can easily cover the remote areas.
