HyperLocal Air Quality Monitoring for Smart Cities (HyLAQ)

自工业革命以来，空气污染已成为一个日益严重的问题。（注49）据称，每年有650万人死于空气质量差。在英国，每年约有4万人死于空气污染，主要是由交通拥堵造成的。为了解决这个问题，政府正在联合起来开发测量城市环境中空气污染物的方法，以达到高精度。此外，空气污染对影响人类健康的各种因素都有影响，并与社会经济地位有密切联系。HYLAQ是一个为期36个月的实验开发试点项目，通过在超局部街道级别部署空气质量监测（AQM）传感器，将现有灯杆转变为智能物联网节点，以进行因果关系检测，作为市场颠覆性创新。这使我们能够准确地测量街道一级的空气污染，并查明造成污染的因素（原因）；因此，地方议会可以针对政府的“清洁空气框架”密切管理空气污染原因。

ir pollution has become an increasing problem since the industrial revolution. It is claimed that 6.5 million people die annually due to exposure to poor air quality (AQ) (unenvironment.org, 2019). In the UK annually ~40,000 deaths/year are linked to air pollution and largely caused by traffic congestion. To combat this issue government is getting together to develop methods to measure the air pollutants to a high level of accuracy in urban environments. Moreover, air pollution contributes to a wide range of factors influencing human health and has strong links to socioeconomic status. HYLAQ is a 36-month Experimental Development Pilot project to turn existing light poles into smart IoT nodes by deployment of Air Quality Monitoring (AQM) sensors at hyperlocal street level for causality detection as a market disruptive innovative. This enables to measure air pollution accurately at street-level and to detect contributory factors (causes); therefore, councils can closely manage air pollution causes targeting the government’s Clean Air Framework.
