Abstract

Governments and cities are increasingly launching smart city (SC) schemes to address the challenges posed by rapid urbanization and population growth in municipalities. Smart cities utilize data from various sources within a metropolis to enhance urban development, promote qualitative lifestyles, and focus on economic and environmental sustainability. Big data analytics (BDA) plays a crucial role in collecting and analyzing vast amounts of data from SC infrastructures, enabling effective management and implementation of smart city initiatives. BDA helps explore data collected through Internet of Things (IoT) devices and sensors, identifying trends, and making appropriate changes, ultimately making smart cities more efficient, sustainable, and beneficial for their inhabitants. However, big data in SC also presents potential risks and challenges related to urban security and the well-being of residents. The literature review examines various research approaches, techniques, algorithms, and architectures proposed to address the challenges of handling big data in smart cities. Urbanization's growing trend is causing challenges in managing basic amenities and resources in urban areas, necessitating innovative solutions to ensure efficient functioning and improved quality of life for citizens. Previous research has highlighted the significance of big data analytics in driving smart city decision-making, yet many smart city big data initiatives have faced difficulties in implementation. To overcome these challenges, researchers have explored techniques like artificial intelligence, machine learning, data mining, and deep learning, as well as architectures encompassing layers of instrumentation, middleware, and application for end-users. Additionally, researchers have emphasized the importance of selecting appropriate sensors for efficient data collection and explored low-cost smart traffic systems to improve urban traffic management. Overall, this review synthesizes insights from nine scholarly papers, shedding light on approaches to handling big data challenges in smart cities.
