TITLE : Near Real Time Air Quality Mapping
نویسندگان
چکیده
This presentation will discuss the efforts of the Utah Division of Air Quality (DAQ) and the Utah Automated Geographic Reference Center (AGRC) to provide public "near real time" air quality maps utilizing ArcIMS and ArcSDE. DAQ currently operates approximately 30 air quality monitoring stations in Utah's urban areas that collect data on a variety of air pollutants. Through a U.S. EPA EMPACT Grant, UDAQ has been able to update their data gathering equipment, refine their data warehousing approach, and partner with AGRC to provide current air quality information to the public via interactive maps and Web pages.

متن کاملEffect of GPS errors on Emission model
In this paper we will show how Global Positioning Services (GPS) data obtained from smartphones can be used to model air quality in urban settings. The paper examines the uncertainty of smartphone location utilising GPS, and ties this location uncertainty to air quality models. The results presented in this paper indicates that the location error from using smartphones is within the accuracy ne...
