MegaSense: 5G and AI for Air Quality Monitoring

Research output: Contribution to journalConference articleScientificpeer-review

Abstract

Air pollution has become a global challenge during the growth of megacities, which drives the deployment of air quality monitoring in order to understand and mitigate district level air pollution. Currently, air pollution monitoring mainly relies on high-end accurate reference stations, which are usually stationary and expensive. Thus, the air quality monitoring deployments are typically coarse grained with only a very small number of stations in a city. We propose scalable air quality monitoring by leveraging low-cost air pollution sensors, artificial intelligence methods, and versatile connectivity provided by 4G/5G. We describe pilot deployments for testing the developed sensing technologies in three different locations in Helsinki, Finland.
