Description
Summary:PolluMap is a new automated system that monitors the air quality of urban cities and displays the information using a Web service. The system collects pollution data using mobile hardware modules, transmits the data regularly using GPRS to a back-end server, and integrates the data to generate a pollution map of the city using its geographical information system. The pollution map is available at anytime from an easy-to-view Website. Unlike previous pollution mappers, the new system provides continuous update of pollution information in addition to maximum coverage. It can be easily expanded to new areas and is cheap to employ. The system has been implemented and tested in Dubai. Initial results show the effectiveness of the proposed system
