Environmental monitoring based on data processing of Internet of Things

Abstract

The concept of online monitoring of the urban environment is proposed. It is based on the online processing of hydrometeorological and traffic information received through the Internet of Things. The traditional approach of the Internet of things includes transfer and storage of huge arrays of measurements in digital form. This concept of online monitoring is primarily an analysis, evaluation of the results of processing information received from wireless networks. The concept was implemented at Nizhny Novgorod State University of Architecture and Civil Engineering in several services including Eco-routes, Quite-routes, in which the air pollution of the urban environment by vehicle emissions and the noise level from traffic flows are estimated in real time mode. The calculation is based on meteorological data and traffic flow velocity. The calculation and assessment of environment pollution is carried out at the request of the user via Internet. The concept includes micro weather and algal blooming monitoring of reservoirs and ponds. Developed services is the first to provide free short time health risk assessment for both decision makers and common internet users.
