contents Environmental monitoring is a crucial component of the smart city infrastructure. It enables informed decision making which enhances sustainability, public health and urban planning. However, the large-scale deployments of the smart sensors have raised concerns on excessive energy consumption and redundant data collection as well as limited sensor lifespan. To resolve these issues, we present an AI-driven framework for energy-efficient environmental monitoring in smart cities utilizing edge intelligence. Our proposed framework leverages TinyML-enabled edge devices and context-aware adaptive decision-making in order to dynamically activate the sensors based on the spatiotemporal conditions, environmental statistics and energy constraints. The sensors will be dynamically activated based on a utility function that takes in factors such as real-time environmental conditions, sensor location, and remaining battery lifespan. Our framework will reduce unnecessary sensing and communication while maintaining high coverage for monitoring. We introduce a hierarchical Edge Intelligence architecture to support deployments in city-wide scales. We conducted evaluation using a city-scale simulation driven by real multi-sensor environmental traces, which demonstrates that the proposed mechanism significantly reduces energy consumption and extends sensor lifespan when compared to static, periodic, and UCB-based adaptive sensing strategies. The results highlight the potential of edge intelligence and adaptive AI techniques for building sustainable and efficient smart city monitoring systems.
