      Furthermore, researchers in [24] provided several DL applications in smart cities, such as smart governance, smart urban modeling, smart education, smart transportation, intelligent infrastructures, and smart health solutions. Additionally, the challenges of using DL toward smart cities are also addressed. However, still the problem of decision making in smart cities remains challenging. In Section 2.3, we address the problems and highlight the possible solutions.

      2.3.1 Data Capturing

      Smart cities have been engulfed with too much data that requires the management department to control and monitor the cities, but this department is cost and time inefficient. Hopefully, due to domains (features of smart cities), these data, which are grouped automatically into domains, create particular big data for each domain separately. IoT devices used to gather data for healthcare are completely different from the ones that are developed specially for traffic control (i.e. why we need to categorize the data into groups of domains to create certain technical big data for each domain). According to Figure 2.2, we provide six different samples of sensors and IoT devices, such as smart phones, smart cameras, smart thermometers, smart users with sensors, smart cars, and smart houses. The variations of sensors enable a data center to receive different types, ranges, and values of data from objects. Here, we highlight the current upcoming challenges with associate solutions.

      imagesChallenges: The process of data gathering in smart cities has been enhanced yet remains challenging due to the lack of enough equipment in every place we aim to monitor and make decisions for that region, like relaying traffic information. No matter our focus, whether in smart healthcare mobility or other areas of interest, IoT devices and other sensors may still fail to capture all data correctly or may miss data entirely due to their limited storage and inefficient time‐scales.

      imagesSolutions: Preprocessing plays a pivotal role in managing missing information and values within the generated dataset. There are some basic and advanced approaches [26] to handle the missing values, and also, there are tools and techniques to select important and relevant features like IFAB [27] using artificial bee colony to get rid of irrelevant features and ensure the genuineness and reproducibility of the results [28].

      2.3.2 Data Analysis

      The smart cities promises lead us to an ample proliferation and generation in data from all aspects of the domains and branches. Therefore, such huge amounts of data are at the core of the services generated by the IoT technologies [29]. This section of the framework, data analysis, is imperative because its results lead us to make proper decisions. If this process is not accomplished, the decision made will not be efficient. Thus, a large number of research studies have enhanced the process and yielded better results. In the early era of smart cities, there were only limited data generated every day due to the lack of sensors. Therefore, typical machine learning algorithms were sufficient for data analysis to make a model that can handle the situation and provide enough information to make a decision. However, thanks to technologies, the number of sensors and IoT objects have proliferated, and thus we have huge amounts of data that require big data algorithms like and Hadoop to handle the data [30].

      Additionally, due to the huge quantity of data, researchers used DL algorithms especially transfer learning and meta‐learning [7] and some other famous machine learning techniques to learn within reinforcement learning like Q‐learning 31–33 for generating smart systems [34, 35].

      2.3.2.1 Big Data Algorithms and Challenges

      Due to the big data revolution, the enormous volume of high‐performance computations are unavoidable in such smart cities. Thus, big data algorithms are getting one of the important functioning pieces of smart cities.

      imagesTransportation System: Transportation systems are generated using advanced technologies where applications of big data vary and are important [36]. Scenarios are established in the research studies to offer the following options to smart people: suggesting the best travel time for any given trip, providing real‐time traffic information, predicting movement patterns according to personality (daily routing path) or spatiotemporal routines, enhancing crash analysis, planning bus routes, improving taxi dispatch, and optimizing traffic time during big occasions
