Creating Smart Campus: The Future University Campus Based on IoT and Global Positioning System (GPS)

Trezah Iftikhar

The huge revolution in the IT industry has impacted our surroundings greatly. Our environments are now smarter than ever. Security monitoring has also been revolutionized through use of Global Positioning System (GPS) and other advanced monitoring technologies including Google Maps API and high end location sensors. GPS represents an embedded technology that is used in smartphones to gather information related to location of different objects in our surroundings. The information is then analyzed and the results which are of great importance are also backed up at the cloud server, are then communicated to target users and used through the smart devices using smart applications. The devices that are IP enabled and are interconnected through the common connection point “the web” as a whole, called IoT or the internet of things. The proposed research indicates the use of Google Maps API in combination with IoT to design a smart campus model that is used to communicate and share location information among its users, and is secure. The shared location information is used by the proposed model for an automated attendance management system. The smart campus model is implemented and tested using an android Integrated Development Environment (IDE). The proposed smart campus environment is beneficial in terms of information accessibility and secure communication on campus.
