The Internet of things and indoor air quality on ship

Abstract

Air quality monitoring is an actively developing area in maintaining a proper environment for people's activity and health. In maritime transport, crews of ships are at constant risk of exposure to hazardous air pollutants, which makes the task of air quality maintenance especially important. The solution proposed in the project - a device for monitoring the air quality in the areas of a ship is developed on the principles of the Internet of Things and uses the latest gas sensors based on microelectromechanical systems. The data collected by the network made of the proposed devices is used for effective control of the ship's heating, ventilation, and air conditioning system.
