Mobile Environmental Monitoring
Over the past years, interest in high spatially resolved data of environmental parameters has increased, in order to better assess personal exposure, hot spots, … etc. The emergence of IoT (Internet of Things) and sensor technology enable new generation of mobile sensor units and its deployment at unprecedented scale. Mobile sensor networks, deployed in vehicles, bikes, or as personal devices, offer the benefit of larger spatio-temporal coverage at a fraction of the deployment and maintenance cost. However, mobile monitoring poses additional technical challenges, that need to be addressed before its wide adoption.
This workshop will provide an overview of the challenges and opportunities of mobile environmental sensing of different environmental parameters. Based on existing pilots and projects conducted in recent years, lessons learned will be provided to apply this technology in future smart city applications. We will present the use of mobile monitoring in different domains: air quality, sound and vibration and electromagnetic fields.
