IoT is not only an important source of big data, but also one of the main markets of big data applications. Because of the high variety of objects, the applications of IoT also evolve endlessly.

Logistic enterprises may have profoundly experienced with the application of IoT big data.

• For example, trucks of UPS are equipped with sensors, wireless adapters, and GPS, so the Headquarter can track truck positions and prevent engine failures. Meanwhile, this system also helps UPS to supervise and manage its employees and optimize delivery routes. The optimal delivery routes specified for UPS trucks are derived from their past driving experience. In 2011, UPS drivers have driven for nearly 48.28 million km less. Smart city is a hot research area based on the application of IoT data.

• For example, the smart city project cooperation between the Miami-Dade County in Florida and IBM closely connects 35 types of key county government departments and Miami city and helps government leaders obtain better information support in decision making for managing water resources, reducing traffic jam, and improving public safety. The application of smart city brings about benefits in many aspects for Dade County. For instance, the Department of Park Management of Dade County saved one million USD in water bills due to timely identifying and fixing water pipes that were running and leaking this year
