Abstract

Vietnam requires a sustainable urbanization, for which city sensing is used in planning and decision-making. Large cities need portable, scalable, and inexpensive digital technology for this purpose. End-to-end air quality monitoring companies such as AirVisual and Plume Air have shown their reliability with portable devices outfitted with superior air sensors. They are pricey, yet homeowners use them to get local air data without evaluating the causal effect. Our air quality inspection system is scalable, reasonably priced, and flexible. The minicomputer of the system remotely monitors PMS7003 and BME280 sensor data through a microcontroller processor. The 5-megapixel camera module enables researchers to infer the causal relationship between traffic intensity and dust concentration. The design enables inexpensive, commercial-grade hardware, with Azure Blob storing air pollution data and surrounding-area imagery and preventing the system from physically expanding. In addition, by including an air channel that replenishes and distributes temperature, the design improves ventilation and safeguards electrical components. The gadget allows for the analysis of the correlation between traffic and air quality data, which might aid in the establishment of sustainable urban development plans and policies.
