Book excerpt: Research Paper (postgraduate) from the year 2013 in the subject Computer Science - Miscellaneous, , course: Computer Engineering - Wireless Sensor Network, language: English, abstract: Air pollution monitoring is extremely important as air pollution has a direct impact on human health and environment. In this paper we introduce a wireless sensor network system for participatory air pollution monitoring. The traditional air quality monitoring system, controlled by the Pollution Control Department, is extremely expensive. Analytical measuring equipment is costly, time and power consuming. In contrast to traditional air pollution monitoring stations, we present the design, implementation, and evaluation of low power, low cost WSN based Air Pollution Monitoring System which provides real time monitoring of polluted materials at proper locations by using distributed (real time) air pollution monitoring systems.

This book was released on 2019 with total page 126 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Wireless sensor networks (WSN) are widely used in environmental applications where the aim is to sense a physical phenomenon such as temperature, humidity, air pollution, etc. In this context of application, the use of WSN allows to understand the variations of the phenomenon over the monitoring region and therefore be able to take adequate decisions regarding the impact of the phenomenon. Due to the limitations of its traditional costly monitoring methods in addition to its high spatial and temporal variability, air pollution is considered as one of the main physical phenomena that still need to be studied and characterized. In this thesis, we consider three main applications regarding the use of WSN for air pollution monitoring: 1) the construction of real time air quality maps using sensor measurements; 2) the detection of pollution threshold crossings; and 3) the correction of physical models that simulate the pollution dispersion phenomenon. All these applications need careful deployment and scheduling of sensors in order to get a better knowledge of air pollution while ensuring a minimal deployment cost and a maximal lifetime of the deployed sensor network. Our aim is to tackle the problems of WSN deployment and scheduling while considering the specific characteristics of the air pollution phenomenon. We propose for each application case a new efficient approach for the deployment of sensor and sink nodes. We also propose a WSN scheduling approach that is adapted to the case of physical models' correction. Our optimization approaches take into account the physical nature of air pollution dispersion and incorporate real data provided by the existing pollution sensing platforms. As part of each approach, we use integer linear programming to derive optimization models that are well adapted to solving small and medium instances. To deal with large instances, we propose heuristic algorithms while using linear relaxation techniques. Besides our theoretical works on air pollution monitoring, we design from scratch and deploy in the Lyon city a cost-effective energy-efficient air pollution sensor network. Based on the characteristics of our monitoring system in addition to real world air pollution datasets, we evaluate the effectiveness of our deployment and scheduling approaches and provide engineering insights for the design of WSN-based air pollution monitoring systems. Among our conclusions, we highlight the fact that the size of the optimal sensor network depends on the degree of the variations of pollution concentrations within the monitoring region.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) have emerged as a phenomenon of the twenty-first century with numerous kinds of sensor being developed for specific applications. The origins of WSNs can, however, be traced back to the early days of connectivity between computers and their peripherals. Work with distributed sensor networks is evidenced in the literature during the latter part of the 1970s, continuing in functionality increases in the 1980s and 1990s. As a configuration of independent devices in a data communications network, WSNs are now pre-eminent as working solutions to numerous precision data collection situations where software control of instruments and routing protocols are needed. In this book, the authors have chosen a selection of specific topics relating to WSNs: their design, development, implementation and function. Some operating topics are addressed such as power management, data interchange protocols, instrument reliability and system security. Other topics are more application oriented, where particular hardware and software configurations are described to deliver system solutions for specific needs. All are clearly written with considerable detail relating to each of the issues addressed by the authors. Each of the chapters provides a rationale for the topic being covered and some general WSN details where appropriate. The citations used in the chapters are comprehensively referred to, which adds depth to the information being presented.

Download or read book Low cost Wireless Sensor Networks in Participatory Air Quality Monitoring written by Mohamed Anis Fekih and published by . This book was released on 2022 with total page 109 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mobile crowdsensing is an emerging and promising paradigm that has attracted much attention in recent years, especially for environmental monitoring. Coupled with the power of low-cost wireless sensor networks (WSN), it leverages population density to collect extensive data in many applications, such as air pollution and urban heat islands (UHI) monitoring. In fact, air pollution and UHI are one of the main problems that still suffer from a lack of characterization due to the limitations of traditional assessment methods employed in terms of cost, network size, and flexibility. Mobile crowdsensing and WSN aim at filling this gap by enabling large-scale deployments to improve the local knowledge of these phenomena on the one hand, while simultaneously involving the citizens in the process on the other hand. In this thesis, we mainly consider the air quality monitoring application with a mobile crowdsensing approach, while focusing on three main parts: 1) the design of low-cost participatory air quality monitoring systems; 2) the analysis of dense data from low-cost WSNs and their contribution to the fine-grained mapping of air quality; 3) the selection of the participants' paths in order to improve the knowledge of the phenomenon while taking into account the constraints of travel distance and sensor errors. Through this work, we aim to show the potential of using low-cost WSN coupled with participatory sensing for air quality monitoring. In this vein, we carry out substantial experimental work on the design of a participatory air quality monitoring system from scratch. We provide engineering guidelines regarding the design of low-cost participatory environmental monitoring platforms. Moreover, we conduct extensive validation tests to evaluate the performance of our sensor nodes. In addition, we perform analysis on our sensors' data and propose a general framework that allows the comparison of different regression and data assimilation strategies, based on numerical simulations and an adequate estimation of simulation and sensing error covariances. We also explore the impact of the sensing rate on the energy consumption and the mapping error. Furthermore, we tackle the problem of route selection in participatory sensing and propose two new approaches that take into account the participants' constraints and the characteristics of air quality monitoring using low-cost WSN.

Download or read book Low Cost Energy Efficient Air Quality Monitoring System Using Wireless Sensor Network written by Kavi Kumar Khedo and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Due to rapid industrialization and urbanization, Mauritius is witnessing an unprecedented increase in air pollution. The release of hazardous gases such as carbon monoxide and sulphur dioxide are not only harmful to the health of the population but are also causing irreversible impact to the environment. Currently, there are only two fixed air quality monitoring units on the island and therefore, air pollution cannot be monitored in real-time. The objective of this chapter is to describe the implementation of a low-cost and energy-efficient air quality monitoring system using wireless sensor network (WSN) that can be easily deployed in highly polluted areas of Mauritius. A Hierarchical Based Genetic Algorithm (HBGA) is proposed to address the issue of sensor nodes with limited energy. Based on hierarchical routing and genetic algorithm, HBGA has been designed to extend the lifetime of the network by minimizing the energy consumption. The proposed air quality monitoring system uses an air quality index that can be easily interpreted. The evaluation results confirm the potential of the proposed system for real-time temporal and spatial monitoring of air quality. Moreover, it possible for the general public to have access to the air quality monitoring results in real time.
