Air Quality Monitoring Control Using WSN

Project Abstract / Summary : •Wireless Sensor Networks are a new and very challenging research field for embedded system design automation, as their design must enforce stringent constraints in terms of power and cost.
•Wireless Sensor Network is a fast evolving technology having a number of potential applications in various domains of daily-life, such as structural and environmental monitoring, medicine, military surveillance, condition based maintenance etc.
•A WSN is composed of a large number of sensor nodes that are usually deployed either inside a region of interest or very close to it.
WSN nodes are low power embedded devices consisting of processing and storage components (a processor connected to a RAM and/or flash memory) combined with wireless RF transceiver and some sensors/actuators. Designing a WSN node is a complex task, since the designers must deal with many stringent design constraints
•This paper proposes a simple Wireless Sensor Network (WSN)-based air quality monitoring system (WSN-AQMS) for industrial and urban areas.
• The proposed framework comprises a set of gas sensors (CO,CO2) that are deployed on stacks and infrastructure of a (ZigBee) WSN and a central server to support both short-term real-time incident management and a long-term strategic planning.
•This architecture would use open-hardware open-software gas sensing capable motes made by Libelium.
•These motes use the WSN(ZigBee) communication protocol and provide a real-time low cost monitoring system through the use of low cost, low data rate, and low power wireless communication technology.
•The proposed monitoring system can be transferred to or shared by other applications.
We also introduce a simple but efficient clustering protocol dubbed hereafter “Clustering Protocol for Air Sensor network” (CPAS) for the proposed WSN-AQMS framework. CPAS proves to be efficient in terms of network energy consumption, network lifetime, and the rate at which data is communicated

Why did you choose to work on this project topic : Air quality monitoring and control has gained much attention lately because of the increased environmental awareness and the effect of air quality on many aspects of life.

WSNs can perform self configuration and reconfiguration in the case of any changes.

WSNs can be monitored remotely.

WSNs can be expanded and redeployed easily.

WSNs adapt well to mobility
