Scenario

Smart Nation – Transforming Singapore through Technology

Smart Nation is a Government initiative to harness Infocomm technologies, networks, and big data to create tech-enabled solutions. Smart Nation has made significant strides to increase citizens’ quality of life and the ease of doing business.

You are the IoT (Internet of Things) specialist in a startup company. You are tasked to study an existing IoT system under the Smart Nation initiatives.

You are required to study any ONE of the following areas and submit a report with less than 10 pages, excluding appendixes.

You are required to do a 10 minutes presentation to highlight your findings.

• Urban living – with limited land, we need to continuously find innovative solutions to improve our urban environment, estates, and homes for our residents, to make them safer, more sustainable, and liveable.
• Transport – 12% of our land is set aside for roads and transport infrastructure. With a growing population and more than one million vehicles on the road, the challenge lies in optimizing the use of our limited space for more efficient, safe, reliable, and enhanced transportation.
• Healthcare – the number of elderly citizens is expected to reach 900,000 by 2030, and with a declining old-age support ratio with our low birth rates.

Deliverables

Your report (20%) should cover at least the followings for the IoT system:

1. Purpose and requirements
2. System architecture diagram
3. Discussion on the network technologies used for interconnecting the various building blocks of the system
4. A possible enhancement to the system
