Mobile Air Quality Monitoring

该项目将生产一种能够监测地面或低层高度的各种气体和颗粒物的系统。将考虑各种数据捕获方法的设计(例如无人机、自行车、车身安装等)。测量的空气质量数据将被记录下来，并使用数据可视化工具进行显示。还将研究使用互联网服务从系统访问数据的方法。作为本科生最后一年项目的一部分，已经创建了一个原型，但进一步开发这个项目将是非常有兴趣的。实验已经在拉夫堡大学校园内进行，使用自行车和无人机运送该设备。该项目的路线图旨在重新设计该设备，将传感器集成到定制电路板上，以降低物理尺寸、重量和未来的生产成本。此外，由于该设备可以从各种气体和颗粒物测量中收集大型数据集，因此将实施用于可视化数据的合适的大数据解决方案。该项目将得到拉夫堡大学可持续发展团队的支持，提供实物支持

This project will produce a system that will be able to monitor various gases and particulate matter at ground level or low-level altitudes. Designs will be considered for various data capture methods (e. g. UAV, bicycle, body mounted, etc). Measured air quality data will be logged and presented using data visualisation tools. Methods for accessing the data from the system using internet services will also be investigated.A prototype has been created as part of an undergraduate final year project, however it would be of great interest to develop this project further. Experiments have already taken place across the Loughborough University campus by transporting the device using bicycles and UAVs. The roadmap for this project looks to re-engineer the device to integrate the sensors onto a custom circuit board to decrease the physical size, weight and future production costs. Also, as the device can collect large datasets from a variety of gas and particulate measurements, a suitable "Big Data" solution for visualising the data will be implemented.This project will be supported by the Sustainability team at Loughborough University, providing in-kind support
