SmartAQnet

“SmartAQnet” addresses urban air-quality and associated health-related quality-of-life issues by combining existing data sets with a networked mobile measurement strategy. It links open data (weather, development plans), remote sensing and lightweight mobile / UAV-based sensors. The project’s focus is on creating a novel measurement and analytics concept in the model region of Augsburg. Start: Apr 2017; End: Sep 2020.

Combine large-scale static data (environmental, open data) with mobile sensing (light-weight sensors, UAVs) to improve air-quality monitoring. Develop a prototypical technology stack for scalable mobile/participatory sensing and IoT data analytics. Enable cities/regions to base decisions on fine-granular, high-quality air-quality data rather than coarse stationary measurements.
