Abstract

IoT, as an emerging technology along with GIS, can result in advanced and user-friendly features in Smart Cities. In order to investigate the capabilities offered by these technologies, this paper provides an overview of GIS and IoT integration focusing on applications and architecture. Specifically, this paper starts with investigating the role of GIS and IoT separately and jointly in different domains. Then, a review of GIS and IoT integration studies is provided to examine how GIS could be used in IoT architecture. The results showed that the capabilities of GIS in dealing with geospatial data and attributes along with offering visualization and analyzing tools make it possible to develop an integrated system benefiting from real-time data collection and real-time monitoring provided by IoT. The presented details would assist researchers in future studies on utilizing GIS and IoT at the same time.
