Most cities around the world have adopted the concept of the smart university to enhance people's quality of life, ensure energy efficiency, and improve management services. Advanced technologies are used to provide several services within the scope of the smart city. Campuses which are accepted as small cities are suitable situations to improve.
This project, which comprises three stages, aims to develop a system including improvements in several application areas to use public resources productively.
The first stage includes the smart applications based on the Internet of Things (IoT) within the scope of a single facility, while the second stage contains the smart applications based on IoT in the context of multiple facilities and outdoor. Additionally, unlike many studies, the third stage, called the smart campus, is supported for the sustainability of a smart university with real-time data analytics, monitoring, reporting, and performance measurement module rather than a study that only develops a smart system.
This project has focused on the smart campus initiative at Izmir Bakircay University that was newly established in the scope of the scenario to find a cyber-physical system at a lower cost. For this, it is determined sub-purposes which serve main purposes like reducing energy consumption (energy domain), reducing waiting time to utilise campus facilities (availability domain), increasing staff productivity (environment domain), improving the quality of education within a classroom (classroom domain), accelerating the improvement of student and personnel, ensuring the contribution of all individuals on campus for problem identification and problem-solving (administrative feedback domain), accelerating the communication between individuals (contact domain), and analysing the data obtained from all these areas and the usage of public resources (real-time data analytics, monitoring, reporting and performance measurement domain).
The Smart University project that is planned to realise is a first for our university, and all steps taken in this scope are inceptions for our university that was set up newly.
