IoT Blockchain Solution for Air Quality Monitoring in SmartCities

Abstract

IoT cloud enabled societal applications have dramatically increased in the recent past due to the thrust for innovations, notably through startup initiatives, in various sectors such as agriculture, healthcare, industry, and so forth. The existing IoT cloud solutions have led practitioners or researchers to a haphazard clutter of serious security hazards and performance inefficiencies. This paper proposes a blockchain enabled IoT cloud implementation to tackle the existing issues in smart cities. It particularly highlights the implementation of chaincodes for air quality monitoring systems in SmartCities; the proposed architecture named as IoT enabled Blockchain for Air Quality Monitoring System (IB-AQMS) is illustrated using experiments. Experimental results were carried out and the findings were disclosed in the paper.
