Merging of IoT and WSN for Real-Time Air Condition Monitoring Systems Towards Medan Smart City

Abstract

Lots use of motorbike and car vehicles, industrial gas disposal, ciga-rette smoke and also forest fires cause high levels of air pollution in the city of Medan, North Sumatra, Indonesia. Based on these problems, an air condition monitoring device was built with the concept of low cost and low power, with a wireless sensor network (WSN) architecture from end device hardware, data col-lecting, data processing in gateway, and data visualization. IRIS hardware plat-forms are used in this system, whereas the communication between base station and gateway via internet networking. Therefore, people can monitor the air condi-tion results by real-time through a website-based application or an android smartphone.
