Innovate UK InterCityAir

InterCityAir项目将开发一种用于测量空气污染的无线传感器。该传感器将被集成到切斯特市的城市交通管理系统中，以减少公众暴露在有毒气体中的水平。InterCityAir将直接应对此次电话会议的以下关键挑战，即：使用环境和社会数据来应对城市挑战，通过整合数据集创造新的价值主张，以及通过开发和部署智能传感器系统改进城市环境监测。InterCityAir将开发一个空气质量(AQ)传感平台，可以与切郡西部和切斯特议会(CWAC)的交通管理系统集成。C-Tech将开发一种无线传感装置，其中包括商业传感器，这些传感器可以作为独立系统或低成本全市网络部署，用于远程实时监测空气质量。感应器将启用无线功能，适合在路边监测空气质量，以期适应空气质量的车载监测。这项工程计划将确立把C-Tech感应器与现有的交通流量数据和交通讯号系统连接起来的可行性，以纾缓交通积聚和相关的污染热点。切斯特大学(UoC)将在布顿旋转区(AQMA)的空气质量管理区(AQMA)与CWAC实时氮氧化物(NOx)监测点一起部署空气质量仪器，以收集全面的基线数据，以全面了解传感器组件在复杂城市大气中的性能。AQMA中的这一地点将被用作C-Tech开发的传感平台的示范点。

The InterCityAir project will develop a wireless sensor for the measurement of air pollution. The sensor will be integrated into urban traffic management systems in the City of Chester to reduce levels of toxic gases to which the public are being exposed.InterCityAir will directly address the following key challenges of this call, namely: The use of environmental and social data to address urban challenges, the creation of a new value proposition through integration of datasets, and an improvement in the monitoring of the urban environment through the development and deployment of an intelligent sensor system.InterCityAir will develop an air quality (AQ) sensing platform that can be integrated with the transport management systems of Cheshire West and Chester Council (CWAC). C-Tech will develop a wireless sensing unit comprising commercial sensors that could be deployed as a stand-alone system or city-wide network at low cost for remote real-time monitoring of air quality. The sensing units will be wireless enabled and suitable for road-side AQ monitoring with a view to be adapted for on-board vehicle monitoring of AQ. This project will establish the feasibility of linking the C-Tech sensing unit with existing traffic count data and the traffic signalling system to alleviate traffic build-up and associated pollution hotspots. The University of Chester (UOC) will deploy air quality instrumentation alongside the CWAC real-time nitrogen oxides (NOx) monitoring site in the Air Quality Management Area (AQMA) on the Boughton gyratory to gather comprehensive baseline data to understand fully the performance of the sensor package in the complex urban atmosphere. This site in the AQMA will be used as a demonstration site for the sensing platform developed by C-Tech.
