Abstract

The study presents a conceptual design of a wireless sensor network aimed to evaluating the SmartCity air quality in real-time. The sensor devices shall autonomously monitor flue gas temperatures, carbon monoxide (CO) and particulate matter concentrations (\(PM_{2.5}\) and \(PM_{10}\)). The measurement system shall consist of a GSM SIM module connected to an Arduino micro-controller. Based on a statistical analysis of the system nodes, a range of 1 to 4 nodes are recommended per hundred households to achieve an global emission accuracy of at least 80%. The emission analysis has shown a 17% savings on the daily average production of emissions. The model predicts a decrease of total amount of released emissions from 4,5 tonnes to 3,8 tonnes per ten thousand households. The acquired performance data and visibility improved daily regulation countermeasures, where a 50 kg decrease of CO per day is predicted per thousand households. In conclusion, the research has demonstrated benefits of monitoring SmartCity emissions via a wireless sensor network. Further research/design processes are recommended to evaluate the characteristics and trade-offs of the wireless, structural or electronic aspects of the emission monitoring system.
