IoT-Enhanced Public Safety in Smart Environments: A Comparative Analysis Using the Public Safety IoT Test

Abstract

The present study does a comparative analysis to evaluate the efficacy of public safety measures boosted by the Internet of Things (IoT) in various smart settings. The "Public Safety IoT Test" methodology is used in the research to evaluate costs, user happiness, and safety improvement percentages. Smart Surveillance devices showed a noteworthy 35% increase in safety in metropolitan City A, while Wearable Health devices showed a surprising 40% increase in safety in rural Village D. At a cost of $500,000 in City A and $10,000 in Village D, these results emphasize the potential of IoT technology to improve public safety and well-being. User satisfaction scores of 4 and 5, respectively, demonstrate the acceptance and efficacy of these devices. Policymakers and urban planners may benefit greatly from this study, which highlights the flexibility of IoT devices in a variety of smart settings and their important role in creating communities that are safer and more resilient.
