Description
VŠB TU Ostrava has been involved in the field of sensors for more than 5 years. One of the first achievements was the successful completion of a project to create a sensor network for the identification of air pollution sources. The proposed project would build on the experience of previously implemented projects and enable several municipalities on the Czech-Polish border to carry out regular monitoring in accordance with the needs of the state administration. In terms of content, this project would also build on the i-AIRP''s project, which identifies sources of pollution and then, on the basis of the underlying causes, establishes action plans to address local problems in the participating municipalities. Considering the fact that VSB is an experienced operator that is capable of operating a network with a high number of sensors (in the order of hundreds), the proposed network will include 30 PMx sensors (+6 for QC) and 3 meteo units to monitor wind direction and speed, temperature and atmospheric pressure. The system will monitor 3 areas at the same time. All data will be transferred to a MySQL database and displayed as points, areas and graphs. The data will be exportable for further processing. Each measured site will have a card ( with location, description, photos, etc.). The system will also store other necessarry information about the operation of sensors, particularly the validation factors set at the beginning and during the monitoring. The quality of the measurements will be monitored both automatically (by the system) and by the operator. Outputs for the public will be easy to understand i.e. colour traffic lights, simple interpretations. The monitoring will continue within the framework of sustainability.
