Periodic Reporting for period 1 - A2CM (Deploying the novel, large-scale Ateknea Air City Monitoring Platform)
Periodo di rendicontazione: 2017-04-01 al 2017-08-31
Cities across the world are increasingly adopting smart solutions to achieve better living standards, increased efficiency, economic stability, optimization of energy, and higher environmental protection based on the technologies: IoT, cloud, mobile, and sensors. However, in the Internet of Things (IoT) era there is no a reliable commercial technology that permits understanding and mitigating air pollution in cities. In response to this unquestionable necessity, the novel and European Bettair technology developed by Ateknea has been created to monitor pollution in urban scenarios at an affordable price. The platform permits, for the first time, to map air and noise pollution in cities on a previously unimaginable scale based on a large-scale deployment of outstandingly accurate gas sensors by using an advanced post-processing algorithm. This information allows applying appropriate urban plans for enhancing air quality and to make smart and better decisions to mitigate air pollution.
