Abstract

This research addresses the critical issue of enhancing public safety in smart cities, with a particular focus on industrial cities in Saudi Arabia. Despite the advanced infrastructure and high safety standards in industrial cities, there are safety challenges, particularly the vulnerability of residential properties to burglaries during holidays and extended breaks. To mitigate these risks, the research proposes leveraging existing infrastructure to implement surveillance systems that monitor vehicle movements using RFID technology and smart sensors, thereby enhancing safety, supporting law enforcement in crime detection, and protecting local communities. The study also acknowledges the reduced social interaction often associated with the heavy reliance on technology in smart cities, emphasizing the need to foster social connections alongside technological advancements. A proposed vehicle monitoring solution is introduced, capable of detecting and identifying registered and unregistered vehicles while recording movement data in urban areas for subsequent analysis. Future research is recommended to expand this concept, focusing on real-world implementation with real-time connectivity and cloud-based services integrated into secure and certified database systems.
