Cooperative Air Quality Sensing with Crowdfunded Mobile Chemical Multisensor Devices
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this work, we describe a cooperative air quality sensor architecture based on crowdfunded, mobile, electrochemical sensor based, monitoring systems. The platform aims to produce enhanced information on personal pollutant exposure and enable cooperative reconstruction of high resolution pictures of air pollution in the urban landscape. The calibrated devices are connected to smartphones that provide georeferenced visualization of personal exposure and session based log capabilities. A cloud based interface provides a sensor fusion based mapping capability exploiting google maps APIs. An in-lab calibration by linear regression with temperature correction has been computed and preliminary results have been reported. A small set of calibrated devices will be shipped to crowdfunders for extended field tests in different italian cities.

User-Centric Indoor Air Quality Monitoring on Mobile Devices
Since people spend a majority of their time indoors, indoor air quality (IAQ) can have a significant impact on human health, safety, productivity, and comfort. Due to the diversity and dynamics of people’s indoor activities, it is important to monitor IAQ for each individual. Most existing air quality sensing systems are stationary or focus on outdoor air quality. In contrast, we propose MAQS, ...
متن کاملIntegrated SMD pressure / flow / temperature multisensor for compressed air in LTCC technology: Thermal flow sensor
In this work, we present and analyse the flow-sensing part of a recently-developed multisensor in LTCC (lowtemperature co-fired ceramic) technology; this device integrates flow / pressure / temperature sensing and is designed for diagnostics monitoring of standard industrial compressed air circuits and devices such as valves and actuators. In this prototype, flow is sensed using the constant-te...
متن کاملA new generation air pollution alert system: integrating air quality models and location-aware mobile devices
This paper introduces a new real-time air pollution alert system using mobile devices. Through the location awareness capability of mobile devices, Androidand iOS-based apps are developed to inform the public residing in the vicinity of air pollution areas. The apps have shown to be working successfully sending push notifications as well as a regional map to convey the air pollution information...
متن کاملIndoor air quality monitoring in urban areas using Smart Sensing Technology
Recently, indoor air quality has attracted the attention of policymakers and researchers as a critical issue like that of external air pollution. Indoor air quality is more important as people spend time longer indoors than outdoors. Indoor environments are closed compared to external environments providing less opportunity for the pollutants to dilute. The emissions contain many substances tha...
متن کاملSecure Crowdsourcing-based Cooperative Spectrum Sensing
Cooperative (spectrum) sensing is a key function for dynamic spectrum access and is essential for avoiding interference with licensed primary users and identifying spectrum holes. A promising approach for effective cooperative sensing over a large geographic region is to rely on special spectrum-sensing providers (SSPs), which outsource spectrum-sensing tasks to distributed mobile users. Its fe...
