Executive Summary :

The proposed work is aimed to real time monitoring of urban air quality interms of qualified pollutants using simple and efficient internet of things (IoT) technology with high spatial and temporal resolution in the urban areas. Air quality monitoring network (AQMN) is established using AWiFS satellite based sensor information. Thus, information on pollutants in different classes of study region (eg: Industries, Traffic and transport region, and residential zone) will be addressed. Ground truth IoTdata can be utilized to improve the satellite derived air quality parameters and better simulation of model output. IoT data on pollution can be integrated with micro meteorological observations to track the movement of pollutants. Create a dashboard tool that displays pollutants levels and their significance on air quality in real time. Link the real time data to NICES Bhuvan portal.
