Mobile system for air pollution evaluation

The paper proposes a mobile measurement system for the real-time monitoring of environmental pollutions in urban areas. The proposed approach is based on the use of a set of vehicles, typically employed for public transportation inside the urban area, equipped with the proposed mobile measurement system. The system is able to measure, store, and transmit the acquired pollution data to a remote supervisor unit during the path followed by the vehicle. The experimental measurement campaign performed on a suitable urban scenario has confirmed the goodness of the proposed system.
