Air quality monitoring and management system model of vehicles based on the internet of things

Abstract

The design of an air quality monitoring system is a recent trend and emerging research topic using IoT and wireless sensor technology. The massive number of automobiles entering metropolitan areas contributes to increased air pollution and lower air quality, which leads to serious health problems. The paper’s primary goal is to introduce a vehicular pollution monitoring system model that can detect and measure pollutants like carbon monoxide and smoke produced by automobiles. The proposed module consists of sensors that can detect the pollutants, carbon monoxide, and smoke released by a vehicle. A Node Micro-Controller Unit (NodeMCU) will work as the brain of the sensor node and communicator with the server through wireless fidelity. The suggested system model can monitor automobile pollution, and if any vehicle exceeds a certain threshold value, it will be reported to the traffic department and the owner of the vehicle. The proposed system model is straightforward and simple, and it is predicted to be inexpensive.
