Description
The town of Velká Bystřice is located at the very "end" of the Moravian Gate. It is influenced by the nearby city of Olomouc and frequented transport route from the City of Ostrava, thus, its air quality is unstable and fluctuates greatly. Therefore, the town has decided, in cooperation with the region of Olomouc, to secure air monitoring using the AIM station (in operation from the beginning of 2023). Velká Bystřice is a typical town where massive natural gasification took place in previous years, but the residents are returning to traditional solid fuels. The station is a reference standard for air quality and its integration within the framework of proposed sensor network would significantly expand the impact of measurements and enable individual the town to better adress and influence its citizens in regard of air quality.
Through the course of the project, 15 places in the area will be measured, including areas with local heating plants and mixed zones with eco-heating. All data will be transmitted to a MYSQL database and displayed as points, surfaces, and graphs. The data will be exportable for further processing. Each location will have a card created (location, description, photo), and the system will store information on sensors – e.g. validation factors (on start and interim). The operation and data quality will be ensured by the VŠB TUO. Parallel measurements with AIM station will be used for sliding control of sensors.
