City Air Pollution Monitoring and Prediction System - CaMPS

Advantages / Salient Technical Features
• Handy cost effective device that can be fitted in public
transport for more accurate and granular information
on city pollution.
• To add on, this also can provide a tool for tracking
public transport system.
• Mobile application for pollution information as
location based services under Smart City initiative.
• Cost effective system for centralized monitoring
of ambient air pollution adjacent to industrial and
mining belt.

Problem being addressed
• The developed system provides a reliable air pollution
monitoring system using a mobile platform containing
sampling box with a number of electrochemical
or semiconductor gas sensors and wireless sensor Application/Uses
network for transmitting and monitoring the
parameters of air pollution and aggregating that data • Low cost Portable Device for Environment
