Roadside Air Quality and Noise Monitoring
REAL-TIME VEHICULAR POLLUTION MONITORING
Problem
Vehicular emissions are the major sources of urban pollution and also affect about 55% of the total human population. The emissions from motor vehicles contribute to hazardous pollutants like nitrogen dioxide, carbon monoxide, and suspended particulate matter. These pollutants cause respiratory diseases and increase the chances of life-threatening diseases amongst the citizens.
Concept
With the increase in motor vehicles, it is very important to calculate their impact on the air pollution levels. By installing a network of low-cost real-time air quality monitoring systems on the roads, such as junctions and interchanges as well as busy trunk roads. Roadside monitoring is essential primarily due to the urban canyon effects caused on the roads. An urban canyon is a place where the street is definite by buildings on both sides creating a canyon-like environment. This causes a higher concentration of pollutants on the streets therefore it is necessary to monitor the level of pollutants and derive mitigation strategies.
Compact air quality stations deployed can monitor key pollutants like SOx, NOx CO, Particulate Matter, and Vehicular Noise. The real-time air quality data is useful to make data-driven decisions in real-time. Such as traffic lights regulation, diversion of traffic during peak pollution levels. The air quality data is also useful to generate automated KPIs for the traffic department.

Air Quality Monitoring Solution Architecture
Proposed Solution
Proposed Solution
– Oizom’s compact air quality monitoring system, Polludrone Smart is installable on the streetlights and lamposts across the road. Where key environmental parameters like particulates, gaseous pollutants, and noise can be monitored in real-time. The generated data can be accessed and visualized on Oizom IoT platform.
– By deploying the Polludrone Smart air quality monitoring systems with high spatial density creates an extensive pollution exposure understanding of the roads and its pollution spread across the city.
– A compact monitoring system like Polludrone is ideal to understand the street canyon effect on the roadside and the impact of external factors like meteorological parameters based on the city’s geography and topography.
– The real-time data generated through the Polludrone is effectively integrated with various Intelligent Traffic Management systems. It enables multidisciplinary collaboration from concerned stakeholders.
– The Oizom data platform with Smart alerts module can enable the automation of various processes to reduce ambient air pollution on the roadside and streets.

Impact
By deploying a network of spatial air quality data points we can identify the exact sources of pollution. Hence, helping us to take relevant actions to mitigate the heavy vehicular pollution caused in the cities. The data is further useful for long-term infrastructure and policy-level planning. For e.g developing underways and overbridges, implementing ultra-low emission zones, smart traffic diversions, etc.
