Environmental Monitoring for Smart Cities
share
This work presents an innovative, multidisciplinary and cost-effective ecosystem of ICT solutions able to collect, process and distribute geo-referenced information about the influence of pollution and micro-climatic conditions on the quality of life in Smart Cities. The system has been developed and experimentally evaluated in the framework of the research project SHE, co-funded by the Tuscany Region (Italy). Specifically, an innovative monitoring network has been developed, constituted by fixed and mobile sensor nodes, which provided comparable measurements in stationary and mobile conditions. In addition, sensor data have been enriched with those generated by citizens through the use of a dedicated mobile application, exploiting participatory sensing and MSN paradigms.
