快速的城市化给城市基础设施带来了负担，并要求地方政府最大限度地利用资源为市民服务。智慧城市项目旨在通过部署大量物联网（IoT）设备来监测和管理环境条件和基础设施，从而缓解城市化问题。然而，智慧城市项目的部署和管理可能非常昂贵。很大一部分费用是通过5G或WiFi为物联网设备提供互联网连接的结果。本文提出使用容延迟网络（DTNs）作为智慧城市通信的骨干；使发展中社区以很小的成本成为智慧城市。本文介绍了一个模型来帮助决策者设计和评估这类网络的预期性能。初步结果基于北卡罗莱纳州教堂山的公共交通网络数据集。最后，讨论了在低成本智慧城市中提高网络性能的创新方法。
Rapid urbanization burdens city infrastructure and creates the need for local governments to maximize the usage of resources to serve its citizens. Smart city projects aim to alleviate the urbanization problem by deploying a vast amount of Internet-of-things (IoT) devices to monitor and manage environmental conditions and infrastructure. However, smart city projects can be extremely expensive to deploy and manage. A significant portion of the expense is a result of providing Internet connectivity via 5G or WiFi to IoT devices. This paper proposes the use of delay tolerant networks (DTNs) as a backbone for smart city communication; enabling developing communities to become smart cities at a fraction of the cost. A model is introduced to aid policy makers in designing and evaluating the expected performance of such networks. Preliminary results are presented based on a public transit network data-set from Chapel Hill, North Carolina. Finally, innovative ways of improving network performance in a low-cost smart city is discussed.
