Urban Air Quality Monitoring with Networked Low-Cost Sensor-Systems

Low-cost robotic sensor networks platform for air quality monitoring

Building robotic sensor networks (RSNs) for air quality monitoring application is a challenging frontier for robotic research. Such systems must operate for extended periods of time in unstructured and complex domains. The implementation requires addressing numerous issues at the systems level such as energy efficiency, planning, and controlling robots’ trajectories for achieving robust operati...

A Low-Cost Sensing System for Cooperative Air Quality Monitoring in Urban Areas

Air quality in urban areas is a very important topic as it closely affects the health of citizens. Recent studies highlight that the exposure to polluted air can increase the incidence of diseases and deteriorate the quality of life. Hence, it is necessary to develop tools for real-time air quality monitoring, so as to allow appropriate and timely decisions. In this paper, we present uSense, a ...

The use of electrochemical sensors for monitoring urban air quality in low-cost, high-density networks

Measurements at appropriate spatial and temporal scales are essential for understanding and monitoring spatially heterogeneous environmentswith complex andhighlyvariable emission sources, such as inurban areas. However, the costs and complexity of conventional air quality measurement methods means that measurement networks are generally extremely sparse. In this paper we show that miniature, lo...

A Low Cost ZigBee Sensor Network Architecture for Indoor Air Quality Monitoring

This paper presents a low-cost system architecture that has been proposed for automatically monitoring air quality indoors and continuously in real-time. The designed system is in pilot phase where 4 sensor nodes are deployed in indoor environment, and data over 4 weeks has been collected and performance analysis and assessment are performed. Environmental data from sensor nodes are sent throug...
