We propose to collect data from on-board low
cost automotive air quality sensors. The data will include CO/VOC,
NO2, PM1, PM2.5, PM10, Temperature, humidity. The cost is $90 per
sensor + $10 for installation. The results will be high-resolution
air quality maps with a pitch of around 50 meters. We have done
such pilots before and therefore have the right experience to
minimize the likelihood of problems (published paper:
https://www.sae.org/publications/technical-papers/content/02-15-04-0024/).
The sensors can be
installed on any private car in less than 10 minutes. The data is
then collected via a dedicated app installed on the owner’s
smartphone. We propose to equip 100 cars in the target community.
It will identify pollution hotspots and pollution patterns during
the day. The cost running the software and making the information
available to the community members will be around $2k per month. We
would work on the project without compensation for our employees
work. The total cost of the project would therefore be $100x100 +
12x$2k = $34k for a one year campaign. We are available to present
the proposal in more details.
