An AI-Driven Framework for Energy-Efficient Environmental Monitoring in Smart Cities Using Edge Intelligence
A new AI-driven framework has been proposed for energy-efficient environmental monitoring in smart cities. This framework utilizes edge intelligence to dynamically activate sensors based on real-time conditions, thereby reducing energy consumption and extending sensor lifespan. The results from city-scale simulations indicate significant improvements over traditional monitoring strategies.
- ▪The framework leverages TinyML-enabled edge devices for efficient monitoring.
- ▪Sensors are activated based on a utility function considering environmental conditions and battery lifespan.
- ▪City-scale simulations show a significant reduction in energy consumption compared to static and periodic sensing strategies.
