 ABSTRACT

Flash flood phenomena that has been occurred in our country is increasing rapidly years
by years. According to the statistic, based on the year 2016/2017 that has been taken from the
website h20.water.gov.my , it has stated that the increasing in the percentage of the flash flood
victim has increased up to 9.6% from the year 2000 to 2016. The effects of the flash flood that
has been occurred in our country has attacked the life of the flash flood victim, disturbing the
economic and social activities and has destroyed the properties, caused difficulties and the cost
of repairing and restoration is expensive for individual and so does the government.
To avoid lot of the flash flood victim from not getting the first aid as soon as possible we
have invented a device called “Arduino Based Wireless Controlled Digital Boat Using HC-
05 and Android Mobile” to help the flashflood victim get the first aid as soon as possible and
also to avoid their life from threatened. This device functioned like a boat with smaller size and
only using the smartphone (Android) to control it, thus also allow it to carry the first aid kit
such as lifebuoy, blanket, medicine andfood.
As a result, this mobile, will succeed in decreasing the number of the flash flood victim
from not getting the first aid as soon as possible and will also help lighten the burden of the
rescue team from struggle giving a help to those in need.

 CHAPTER 1
INTRODUCTION
1.1 BACKGROUND

Flood is the most devastating natural disaster experienced in Malaysia. Throughout

Malaysia, including Sabah and Sarawak, there is total of 189 river basins (89 of the river
basins are in peninsula Malaysia, 78 in Sabah and 22 in Sarawak), with the main channels
flowing directly to the South China Sea and 85 of them are prone to become recurrent
flooding. The estimated area vulnerable to flood disaster is approximately 29,800 km2 or
9% of the total Malaysia area, and is affecting almost 4.82 million people which is around
22% of the total population of the country. It is clear that, most of the people believe that,
improper drainage condition is the main cause of floods. About 33% of the population
agrees that, water damage to building is the main effect of flooding and other part suggested
that evacuating people from flood prone to safe zones is the best way of reducing flood
victims. It is finally agrees that, government and local community should take necessary
measures to ensure proper drainage is build and clear during rainfall season and also the
first aid got to be supplied to those flash flood victim when the monsoon season has arrived.
This paper presented a boat for a rescue mini boat that controlled using android using
(IoT), which included HC-05, motor, motor driver, servo motor and an Arduino as a
microcontroller and also an application connected with this device. The HC-05 has two
operating modes, one is the data mode in which it can send and receive data from other
Bluetooth devices and the other is the AT command mode where the default device setting
can be changed. We can operate the device in either of these two modes by using the key
pin as explained. Motor driver VH2SP30 if a full bridge motor drivers rather than a L289
H-bridge, it is capable of driving a high-current motors besides with the undervoltage and
overvoltage shutdown with the maximum current rating is until 30A to support it together
with the motor. Furthermore, the servo motor is just to ensure the mini boat can move to
any direction be it 90˚, 180˚ and 270˚. Next, Arduino UNO R3 is used for building the mini
rescue boat hence the physical components is the most suitable with the spects such as
32Kb flash memory and the operating voltage up to 5Volt and also with 6 PWM channels.

1.2 PROBLEM STATEMENT

Living in Malaysia we cannot escape from the monsoon season, over the years we will
prepare for the monsoon season as we already know there will be flash flood occur especially
in the east cost of Malaysia. Based on the researchgate Terengganu receive heavy rainfall
during the North east monsoon that occurs between October and March and leads to severe
floods almost every year at all over the state. Terengganu is located at the east coast of
Peninsular Malaysia that has never missed a flooding event especially during the months
of November and December during the north east monsoon period. The floods that occur at
Dungun area of Terengganu state was due to the combination of physical factors such as
elevation and also its close proximity to the sea apart from heavy rainfall received during the
monsoon period. Hence, a flood that affects the Terengganu area and other location along the
eastern coast is termed as a coastal flooding (Muhd Barzani et al., 2007) Another enormous
flood in the Malaysian flood disaster history, striking in four states in the Peninsular Malaysia
like: Melaka, Johor, Pahang and Negeri Sembilan. The flood incident started when the
Northeast monsoon brought a heavy rain through series of continues storms, causing
destructive flood in Kota Tinggi, Johor (MNRE 2007a). The flood strike as a result of two
waves, the December 2006 which last for 13 days from 19 – 31 December, and January 2007
lasted for 7 days from 12 – 17 January. The series of floods were unusual as the 2006 average
rainfall return period was 50 years while the 2007 had more than 100 years of return period
(Shafie 2007, BadrulHisham et al., 2010). The flood was destructive with the highest water
level recorded reached 2.75m, is the highest level ever recorded since 1950 and it resulted
in more than 100,000 people to be evacuated and the death of 18 people recorded (MNRE
2007a). Table 1, below shows the flood history in Malaysia, including the lost and the fatality
rate.
Based on this research we can conclude that, the flash flood that occurred has a big impact to
flash flood victim, and this has lead to another few problems especially during the evacuation;
to a place that are more suitable for the victims such as school or public hall. AWANI,1
DECEMBER 2017, more than 13 000 victim has evacuated to 100 to the temporary relocation
center in 9 district in Kelantan. Basically, Pasir Mashas shown the massive number in victim
evacuation which is more than 10 000 people in 42 temporary relocation center. Most of the
victim in Rantau Panjang and the nearest area around Sungai Golok that has effected due the
flash flood and this has lead to the declining revenue sources. Regarding to this issue, flash
flood has lead to the problem such as the flash flood victim did not get the first aid this is

9|Page
because the rescue team could not go to small area in the village to reacue the victim as soon
as possible and victim tend to catch cold, hungry and sick due to no first aid.

Figure 1.2.1: The rescue team is helping the flash flood victim during evacuation

1.3 OBJECTIVE

1. To design the hardware that can carry the first aid

2. To develop the software that can controlled by smartphone

1.4 LIMITATION

Although the research has reached its aim, there were some unavidable limitations in
our project development. First this is because of the distance travelled by the mini reascue
boat. This project can only travel in short distance while travel to another places, or not the
boat will lost the connection between the controller, therefore we cannot promise for the
boat to travel in the wide area.

Next, the second limitation is the Bluetooth connection itself. The Bluetooth
connection must be strong between the boat and the controller, though we know unlike wifi
module, the Bluetooth connection does not need a strong coverage nor strong data, but it is
also has its own struggle in connectivity which is obstacle, if there were so many obstacle,
this will affect the movement of the boat, because the Bluetooth cannot penetrate the
obstacle.

LITERATURE REVIEW
2.1 OVERVIEW

In this chapter, I have researched the components involved in the "MINI RESCUE BOAT"
project, the statistic and percentage about flash flood.

2.2 STATISTIC
1. Flood is the most devastating natural disaster experienced in Malaysia is flood.
Throughout Malaysia, including Sabah and Sarawak, there is total of 189 river basins
(89 of the river basins are in peninsula Malaysia, 78 in Sabah and 22 in Sarawak), with
the main channels flowing directly to the South China Sea and 85 of them are prone to
become recurrent flooding. The estimated area vulnerable to flood disaster is
approximately 29,800 km2 or 9% of the total Malaysia area, and is affecting almost
4.82 million people which is around 22% of the total population of the country. This
study is aimed at finding the causes, effects and mitigation of floods. A comparative
study was carried out to determine the people perception on floods. It is clear that, most
of the people believe that, improper drainage condition is the main cause of floods.
About 33% of the population agrees that, water damage to building is the main effect
of flooding and other part suggested that evacuating people from flood prone to safe
zones is the best way of reducing flood victims. It is finally agrees that, government and
local community should take necessary measures to ensure proper drainage is buildand
clear during rainfall season. It is suggested that people should avoid developing new
buildings on a water ways to reduce frequent occurrence of flooding, or people and
government most ensure that, flood prone areas are not occupy with buildings.

2. PUTRAJAYA: The flash floods which occurred in Kuala Lumpur yesterday was due
to an inefficient drainage system.

Natural Resources and Environment Minister Datuk Seri Dr Wan Junaidi Tuanku Jaafar said
there was a pressing need to review the drainage system in the all cities in the country,
particularly Kuala Lumpur.

“After looking at the flash floods yesterday, we must review our current drainage system and
improve it immediately before we are hit by another disaster.

"We have identified several contributing factors which caused the flash floods yesterday. These
include the unexpected rainfall, low capacity culverts, clogged drainage and a shallow retention
pond in Kajang due to siltation," he told a press conference today.

The affected areas included Jalan Bangsar, Jalan Tuanku Abdul Halim (formerly Jalan Duta),
University Malaya and some parts of Kajang.

Flash floods hit several roads in Kuala Lumpur evening causing vehicles to be trapped
following a downpour.

Wan Junaidi said the Drainage and Irrigation Department (DID) has been instructed to submit
a detailed report on the drainage systems in the country.

"All state DID directors have been instructed to submit reports on the state of their drainage
system for instance, on low-capacity culverts.

"We will decide whether or not to change it based on funding capabilities. If there is a funding
issue, we will bring the matter to the government to help us resolve the issue," he said.

Wan Junaidi also said immediate maintenance work must be carried out at all drainage systems
nationwide.

The ministry will also meet with town planners for a brainstorming session to improve the
country's drainage system, he said.

3. Floods in Malaysia 2014 refer to floods throughout Malaysia. The floods in 2014 were the

worst in Malaysia's flood history with over 300,000 evacuated. Since December 18, the

Malaysian Meteorological Department has issued 38 severe weather alerts; 15 'Red' level

warnings, 15 'Orange' warnings, and 8 'Yellow' alerts.

Kelantan

The number of displaced people in Kelantan reached 170,000 from approximately 36,000

families housed in 309 shelters involving eight districts. The New Town area recorded the

highest number of flood victims at 44,061, Tumpat (30,569), Pasir Mas (23,568), Kuala Krai

(23,500), Musang Cave (17,327), Machang (8,289), Red Land (3,546) and Pasir Puteh (192 ).

Pahang

The casualties involved in the flood affected nearly 35,000 people. Temerloh became the most

affected area of the 12,012 flood victims in 71 relief centers. The other six districts were

Kuantan with 3,046 victims in 17 evacuation centers, Pekan (4,873 victims in 17 evacuation

centers), Maran (3,479 victims in 33 evacuation centers), Jerantut (6,025 victims in 59

evacuation centers), Bera (1,491 victims in 14 evacuation centers) and Lipis (2,299 victims in

31 evacuation centers). The East Coast Highway (LPT) for the Kuantan-Kuala Lumpur two-

lane road and the old road are closed to traffic. People traveling to Kuantan from Kuala Lumpur

were asked to use alternative routes through Seremban-Kuala Pilah-Serting-Muadzam Shah-

Kuantan and vice versa.

4. KUALA LUMPUR, Dec 30 - The number of victims in Kelantan and Pahang continued to

rise this afternoon, while Perak, Terenganu and Johor showed declines.

In KELANTAN the displaced victims increased to 158,476 people from 142,582 this

morning.

According to a Kelantan National Security Council (MKN) spokesperson, the number

involved 39,328 families housed in 317 evacuation centers.

The Kota Baharu district still has the most victims at 43,558 people in 63 relief centers.

The other seven districts, Pasir Mas, housed 9,960 victims in 35 centers, Tumpat (26,602

people in 32 centers), Tanah Merah (19,440 in 24 centers), Kuala Krai (23,500 in 103

centers), Gua Musang (13,327 in 24 centers), Machang (8,289 in 34 centers) and White Sand

192 in two centers), he said.

15 | P a g e
Flood conditions have not shown any signs of recovery as they continue to increase their

numbers to 49,978 people compared with 49,369 people this morning at 261 relief centers in

eight districts.

A spokesman for the Pahang Contingent Police Headquarters said a Temerloh district still

housed the most evacuated victims of 19,875 people in 62 evacuation centers.

The other seven districts were 9,960 towns in 39 centers, Jerantut (6,025 people in 59

centers), Maran (4,351 in 32 centers), Kuantan (3,797 in 17 centers), Lipis (2,930 in 27

centers), Bera (2,854 in 19 centers) center) and Rompin 186 in six centers).

In PERAK, the flood situation showed a decline as the number of evacuees in the Kuala

Kangsar district decreased, leaving the total number of victims in the state at 7,664 compared

with 7,735 this morning.

According to a spokesman for the Perak National Security Council (MKN), the flood victims

in Kuala Kangsar have so far 2,050 people from 539 families in 22 relief centers.

The total number of victims in the Perak Tengah area was 4,515 from 1,203 families in 19

centers.

In Hulu Perak, two new evacuation centers were opened, leaving 14 relief centers open with

799 victims from 215 families.

In Kerian the victims at two relief centers remain 300 people from 90 families.

In TERENGGANU, the number of casualties dropped to 25,775 compared with 30,652 this

morning.

This is due to more victims leaving the evacuation center after the collapse.

According to Terengganu National Security Council (MKN) portal statistics, there are

currently 15,918 manga in Kemaman, Dungun (9,507), Hulu Terengganu (74) and Kuala

Terengganu (276).

METHODOLOGY

Methodology can be ‘analysis of the principle of methods, rules and postulates

employed by a discipline’, ‘the systematic study of methods that are, can be, or have been
applied within a discipline’ or ‘a particular procedure or set of procedures’.

Methodology includes a philosophically coherent collection of theories, concepts or

ideas as they relate to a particular discipline or field of inquiry. Methodology refers to more
than a simple set of methods, rather it refers to the rationale and the philosophical assumptions
that underlie a particular study relative to the scientific method. This is why scholarly literature
often includes a section on the methodology of the researchers.

Each step of project is a process to complete the project. Every step must be followed
one by one and must be done carefully. If some error occurs it can make a project probably
could not operate or do not look neat and perfect. Before the project finish, various process
needs to be done according to proper procedures to ensure that projects do not have any
problems.

Figure 3.1: Block Diagram.

The input of the project development is the smartphone application which is
Bluetooth Electronic Application. The process of the project consists of Arduino UNO
and Bluetooth module HC 05. The movement, speed and direction of recue boat can
control using the Bluetooth Electronic Application. .While the output of the project is
called destination ; destination is the rescue boat itself. The rescue boat that will be
build can travel around until 1.8km with the density of water between 1000kg/m³ and
1027kg/m³ with the gross load 5kg and with the speed 5000-30000RPM (DC 3V-12V).

This circuit use Arduino Uno R3 as main component in this circuit. The Arduino
will connect with Bluetooth Module HC 05 to access Bluetooth from phone (Bluetooth
Electronic Application). For movement of the boat, this circuit use Hi Speed DC motor
to provide movement and Servo motor to control the direction of the boat. This circuit
use 12V battery to provide energy in this circuit. But output of Arduino only allow 5V
voltage so we add L298 Motor Driver and connect direct the supply to L298 motor
driver to support and give the enough voltage to DC motor and get the maximum speed.

3.6 MAIN COMPONENTS

26 | P a g e
3.6.1 Arduino Uno R3

Figure 3.6.1: Arduino Uno R3

The Arduino Uno R3 is a microcontroller board based on a removable, dual-inline-package
(DIP) ATmega328 AVR microcontroller. It has 20 digital input/output pins (of which 6 can be
used as PWM outputs and 6 can be used as analog inputs). Programs can be loaded on to it
from the easy-to-use Arduino computer program. The Arduino has an extensive support
community, which makes it a very easy way to get started working with embedded electronics.
The R3 is the third, and latest, revision of the Arduino Uno.

3.6.2 Bluetooth Module (HC-05)

Figure 3.6.2: Bluetooth Module (HC 05)

The HC-05 is a very cool module which can add two-way (full-duplex) wireless
functionality to your projects. You can use this module to communicate between two
microcontrollers like Arduino or communicate with any device with Bluetooth functionality
like a Phone or Laptop. There are many android applications that are already available which

27 | P a g e
makes this process a lot easier. The module communicates with the help of USART at 9600
baud rate hence it is easy to interface with any microcontroller that supports USART. We can
also configure the default values of the module by using the command mode. So if you looking
for a Wireless module that could transfer data from your computer or mobile phone to
microcontroller or vice versa then this module might be the right choice for you. However do
not expect this module to transfer multimedia like photos or songs; you might have to look into
the CSR8645 module for that.

3.6.3 Servo Motor

Figure 3.6.3: Servo Motor.

A servomotor is a rotary actuator or linear actuator that allows for precise control of angular or
linear position, velocity and acceleration. It consists of a suitable motor coupled to a sensor for
position feedback. It also requires a relatively sophisticated controller, often a dedicated
module designed specifically for use with servomotors.
Servomotors are not a specific class of motor, although the term servomotor is often used to
refer to a motor suitable for use in a closed-loop control system. Most modern servomotors are
designed and supplied around a dedicated controller module from the same manufacturer.
Controllers may also be developed around microcontrollers in order to reduce cost for large-
volume applications.

Why servo motor is better than stepper motor

28 | P a g e
Servomotors are generally used as a high-performance alternative to the stepper motor. Stepper
motors have some inherent ability to control position, as they have built-in output steps. This
often allows them to be used as an open-loop position control, without any feedback encoder,
as their drive signal specifies the number of steps of movement to rotate, but for this the
controller needs to 'know' the position of the stepper motor on power up. Therefore, on first
power up, the controller will have to activate the stepper motor and turn it to a known position,
e.g. until it activates an end limit switch. This can be observed when switching on an inkjet
printer; the controller will move the ink jet carrier to the extreme left and right to establish the
end positions. A servomotor will immediately turn to whatever angle the controller instructs it
to, regardless of the initial position at power up.

The lack of feedback of a stepper motor limits its performance, as the stepper motor can only
drive a load that is well within its capacity, otherwise missed steps under load may lead to
positioning errors and the system may have to be restarted or recalibrated. The encoder and
controller of a servomotor are an additional cost, but they optimise the performance of the
overall system (for all of speed, power and accuracy) relative to the capacity of the basic motor.
With larger systems, where a powerful motor represents an increasing proportion of the system
cost, servomotors have the advantage.

There has been increasing popularity in closed loop stepper motors in recent years. They act
like servomotors but have some differences in their software control to get smooth motion. The
main benefit of a closed loop stepper motor is relatively low cost. There is also no need to tune
the PID controller on a closed loop stepper system.

Many applications, such as laser cutting machines, may be offered in two ranges, the low-
priced range using stepper motors and the high-performance range using servomotors.

3.6.5 DC Motor

Figure 3.6.5: DC Motor

A DC motor is any of a class of rotary electrical machines that converts direct current electrical
energy into mechanical energy. The most common types rely on the forces produced by
magnetic fields. Nearly all types of DC motors have some internal mechanism, either
electromechanical or electronic, to periodically change the direction of current flow in part of
the motor.

DC motors were the first form of motor widely used, as they could be powered from existing
direct-current lighting power distribution systems. A DC motor's speed can be controlled over
a wide range, using either a variable supply voltage or by changing the strength of current in
its field windings. Small DC motors are used in tools, toys, and appliances. The universal motor
can operate on direct current but is a lightweight brushed motor used for portable powertools
and appliances. Larger DC motors are currently used in propulsion of electric vehicles, elevator
and hoists, and in drives for steel rolling mills. The advent of power electronics has made
replacement of DC motors with AC motors possible in many applications.

3.6.6 Rechargeable Battery

Figure 3.6.6: Rechargeable Battery

A rechargeable battery, storage battery, secondary cell, or accumulator is a type of electrical
battery which can be charged, discharged into a load, and recharged many times, as opposed to
a disposable or primary battery, which is supplied fully charged and discarded after use. It is
composed of one or more electrochemical cells. The term "accumulator" is used asit
accumulates and stores energy through a reversible electrochemical reaction. Rechargeable
batteries are produced in many different shapes and sizes, ranging from button cells to
megawatt systems connected to stabilize an electrical distribution network. Several different
combinations of electrode materials and electrolytes are used, including lead–acid, nickel–
cadmium (NiCd), nickel–metal hydride (NiMH), lithium-ion (Li-ion), and lithium-ionpolymer
(Li-ion polymer).

Rechargeable batteries typically initially cost more than disposable batteries, but have a much
lower total cost of ownership and environmental impact, as they can be recharged
inexpensively many times before they need replacing. Some rechargeable battery types are
available in the same sizes and voltages as disposable types, and can be used interchangeably
with them.

Figure 3.6.7: Jumper Wires.

A jump wire (also known as jumper wire, or jumper) is an electrical wire, or group of them in
a cable, with a connector or pin at each end (or sometimes without them – simply "tinned"),
which is normally used to interconnect the components of a breadboard or other prototype or
test circuit, internally or with other equipment or components, without soldering. Individual
jump wires are fitted by inserting their "end connectors" into the slots provided in a breadboard,
the header connector of a circuit board, or a piece of test equipment.

RESULT

4.1 Introduction
This chapter will explain the result get from the expected result of the developed
project. It will show and explaining the result has been received from the developed expected
result. The result show is from the reading of configure the application, control the movement
off the boat from android.

4.2 How do Internet of Things (IoT) works in this device.

Internet of Things (IoT) is a system of interrelated computing devices, mechanical and
digital machines, objects, animals and people that are provided with unique identifiers (UIDs)
and the ability to transfer data over a network without requiring human-to-human or human-
to-computer interaction. The IoT concept has faced prominent criticism, especially in regards
to privacy and security concerns related to these devices and their intention of pervasive
presence.
On this, the device needs to paired first with Bluetooth on android phones. ThisBluetooth
is the only medium to transfer or access the data that to be connected to the devices.Without
Bluetooth, the data will not allowed to be transfer cause I had been to use the wirelessnetwork
only on this devices. We have programme a specific Bluetooth password to be connected. The
data will be transferred directly from application to devices via Bluetooth to controlled the boat
because Bluetooth did not had delay and did not use internet connection. So the devices can be
controlled directly from application in mobile phone.

4.4 How this project works?

This product has been specially designed to easy move in the small place when flash
flood happened. Also, the size of the product is not too big and easy to move in shallow water
conditions. Furthermore, the boat can move without engine or fan inside water because this
boat can move from pressure of air like hovercraft. The boat can floating on water with load
approximately 5KG. Then, the boat can move at 30Km/h with hi speed 12V dc motor. The boat
had one servo motor to control the direction of the boat, the boat will easy to turn right or turn
left when it moved. The boat will easy to controlled with anybody who had any android devices
because it designed to easy be controlled. The boat used rechargeable battery so it can be used
repeatedly and long life than ordinary battery. This boat also have switch button so it can save
the battery life.
This project are develop to avoid lot of the flash flood victim from not getting the first
aid as soon as possible. It can rescue the victim at small places. It can be controlled using
android phone and can the rescue man did not go to the destination just send the first aid and
food from safety places just using android phone.

 CHAPTER 5
ANALYSIS AND DISCUSSION

5.1 What is Internet of Things (IoT)

In a nutshell, the Internet of Things is the concept of connecting any device (so long as it has
an on/off switch) to the Internet and to other connected devices. The IoT is a giant network of
connected things and people – all of which collect and share data about the way it used and
about the environment around it.
That includes an extraordinary number of objects of all shapes and sizes – from smart
microwaves, which automatically cook human food for the right length of time, to self-driving
cars, whose complex sensors detect objects in their path, to wearable fitness devices that
measure human heart rate and the number of steps human taken that day, then use that
information to suggest exercise plans tailored to human. There are even connected footballs
that can track how far and fast they are thrown and record those statistics via an app for future
training purposes.

5.2 How IoT works?

Devices and objects with built in sensors are connected to an Internet of Things platform,
which integrates data from the different devices and applies analytics to share the most
valuable information with applications built to address specific needs.
These powerful IoT platforms can pinpoint exactly what information is useful and what can
safely be ignored. This information can be used to detect patterns, make recommendations,
and detect possible problems before they occur.
For example, if I own a car manufacturing business, I might want to know which optional
components (leather seats or alloy wheels, for example) are the most popular. Using Internet
of Things technology, I can:
• Use sensors to detect which areas in a showroom are the most popular, and where customers
linger longest;
• Drill down into the available sales data to identify which components are selling fastest;
• Automatically align sales data with supply, so that popular items don’t go out of stock.
The information picked up by connected devices enables me to make smart decisions about
which components to stock up on, based on real-time information, which helps me save time
and money.

39 | P a g e
With the insight provided by advanced analytics comes the power to make processes more
efficient. Smart objects and systems mean human can automate certain tasks, particularly when
these are repetitive, mundane, time-consuming or even dangerous.

5.3 Why IoT is important?

The internet of things helps people live and work smarter as well as gain complete
control over their lives. In addition to offering smart devices to automate homes, IoT is essential
to business. IoT provides businesses with a real-time look into how their companies’ systems
really work, delivering insights into everything from the performance of machines to supply
chain and logistics operations. IoT enables companies to automate processes and reduce labor
costs. It also cuts down on waste and improves service delivery, making it less expensive to
manufacture and deliver goods as well as offering transparency into customer transactions. IoT
touches every industry, including healthcare, finance, retail and manufacturing. Smart cities
help citizens reduce waste and energy consumption and connected sensors are even used in
farming to help monitor crop and cattle yields and predict growth patterns. As such, IoT is one
of the most important technologies of everyday life and it will continue to pick up steam as
more businesses realize the potential of connected devices to keep them competitive.
5.4 Benefits of IoT
Benefits of IoT The internet of things offers a number of benefits to organizations, enabling
them to:
• Monitor their overall business processes;
• Improve the customer experience;
• Save time and money;
• Enhance employee productivity;
• Integrate and adapt business models;
• Make better business decisions; and
• Generate more revenue.
IoT encourages companies to rethink the ways they approach their businesses, industries and
markets and gives them the tools to improve their business strategies.
5.5 Pros and cons of IoT
Some of the advantages of IoT include:
• Ability to access information from anywhere at any time on any device;
• Improved communication between connected electronic devices;
• Transferring data packets over a connected network saves time and money;

40 | P a g e
• Automating tasks helps improve the quality of a business’ services and reduces the need for
human intervention.
Some disadvantages of IoT include:
• As the number of connected devices increases and more information is shared between
devices, the potential that a hacker could steal confidential information also increases;
• Enterprises may eventually have to deal with massive numbers -- maybe even millions -- of
IoT devices and collecting and managing the data from all those devices will be challenging.
• If there’s a bug in the system, it’s likely that every connected device will become corrupted;
• Since there’s no international standard of compatibility for IoT, it’s difficult for devices from
different manufacturers to communicate with each other.
5.6 IoT standards and frameworks
There are several emerging IoT standards, including:
• 6LoWPAN (IPv6 over Low -Power Wireless Personal Area Networks), an open standard
defined by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF). The 6LoWPAN standard enables any
low-power radio to communicate to the internet, including 804.15.4, Bluetooth Low Energy
and Z-Wave (for home automation).
• ZigBee0, a low-power, low data-rate wireless network used mainly in industrial settings.
ZigBee is based on based the IEEE 802.15.4 standard. The ZigBee Alliance created Dotdot,
the universal language for IoT that enables smart objects to work securely on any network and
understand each other.
• LiteOS, a Unix-like operating system for wireless sensor networks. LiteOS supports
smartphones, wearables, intelligent manufacturing applications, smart homes and Internet of
Vehicles (IoV). The operating system also serves as a smart device development platform.
• OneM2M, a machine-to-machine service layer that can be embedded in software and
hardware to connect devices. The global standardization body, OneM2M, was created to
develop reusable standards to enable IoT applications across different verticals tocommunicate.
• DDS (Data Distribution Service) was developed by the Object Management Group (OMG)
and is an IoT standard for real-time, scalable and high-performance machine-tomachine
communication.
• AMQP (Advanced Message Queuing Protocol), an open source published standard for
asynchronous messaging by wire. AMQP enables encrypted and interoperable messaging
between organizations and applications. The protocol is used in client/server messaging and in
IoT device management.

41 | P a g e
• CoAP (Constrained Application Protocol), a protocol designed by the IETF that specifies how
low-power compute-constrained devices can operate in the internet of things.
• LoRaWAN (Long Range Wide Area Network), a protocol for wide area networks, it’s
designed to support huge networks, such as smart cities, with millions of low-power devices.
IoT frameworks include:
• AWS IoT, a cloud platform for IoT released by Amazon. This framework is designed to
enable smart devices to easily connect and securely interact with the AWS cloud and other
connected devices.
• ARM Mbed IoT, a platform to develop apps for the IoT based on ARM microcontrollers. The
goal of the ARM Mbed IoT platform is to provide a scalable, connected and secure environment
for IoT devices by integrating Mbed tools and services.
• Microsoft’s Azure IoT Suite, a platform that consists of a set of services that enables users to
interact with and receive data from their IoT devices as well as perform various operations over
data, such as multidimensional analysis, transformation and aggregation, and visualize those
operations in a way that’s suitable for business.
• Google’s Brillo/Weave, a platform for the rapid implementation of IoT applications. The
platform consists of two main backbones: Brillo, an android-based operating system for the
development of embedded low power devices; and Weave, IoT-oriented communication
protocol that serves as the communication language between the device and the cloud.
• Calvin, an open source IoT platform released by Ericsson designed for building and managing
distributed applications that enable devices talk to each other. Calvin includes a development
framework for application developers as well as a runtime environment for handling the
running application.
5.7 Consumer and enterprise IoT applications
There are numerous real-world applications of the internet of things, ranging from
consumer IoT and enterprise IoT to manufacturing and industrial IoT (IoT). IoT applications
span numerous verticals, including automotive, telecom and energy. In the consumer segment,
for example, smart homes that are equipped with smart thermostats, smart appliances and
connected heating, lighting and electronic devices can be controlled remotely via computers
and smartphones. Wearable devices with sensors and software can collect and analyze user
data, sending messages to other technologies about the users with the aim of making users'
lives easier and more comfortable. Wearable devices are also used for public safety -- for
example, improving first responders' response times during emergencies by providing
optimized routes to a location or by tracking construction workers' or firefighters' vital signs at

42 | P a g e
life-threatening sites. In healthcare, IoT offers many benefits, including the ability to monitor
patients more closely to use the data that's generated and analyze it. Hospitals often use IoT
systems to complete tasks such as inventory management, for both pharmaceuticals and
medical instruments. Smart buildings can, for instance, reduce energy costs using sensors that
detect how many occupants are in a room. The temperature can adjust automatically -- for
example, turning the air conditioner on if sensors detect a conference room is full or turning
the heat down if everyone in the office has gone home. In agriculture, IoT-based smart farming
systems can help monitor, for instance, light, temperature, humidity and soil moisture of crop
fields using connected sensors. IoT is also instrumental in automating irrigation systems. In a
smart city, IoT sensors and deployments, such as smart streetlights and smart meters, can help
alleviate traffic, conserve energy, monitor and address environmental concerns and improve
sanitation.

5.8 IoT security and privacy issues

The internet of things connects billions of devices to the internet and involves the use of
billions of data points, all of which need to be secured. Due to its expanded attack surface, IoT
security and IoT privacy are cited as major concerns. In 2016, one of the most notorious recent
IoT attacks was Mirai, a botnet that infiltrated domain name server provider Dyn and took
down many websites for an extended period of time in one of the biggest distributed denial-
ofservice (DDoS) attacks ever seen. Attackers gained access to the network by exploiting
poorly secured IoT devices. Because IoT devices are closely connected, all a hacker has to do
is exploit one vulnerability to manipulate all the data, rendering it unusable. Manufacturers that
don't update their devices regularly or at all leave them vulnerable to cybercriminals.
Additionally, connected devices often ask users to input their personal information, including
names, ages, addresses, phone numbers and even social media accounts information that's
invaluable to hackers. However, hackers aren't the only threat to the internet of things; privacy
is another major concern for IoT users. For instance, companies that make and distribute
consumer IoT devices could use those devices to obtain and sell users' personal data. Beyond
leaking personal data, IoT poses a risk to critical infrastructure, including electricity,
transportation and financial services.
