Abstract

Monitoring air quality for daily life gets more and more attention. Especially in modern urban environment with high skylines and unexpected pollution events, it is important to have micro-scale monitoring in addition to traditional monitoring methods. We propose a micro-scale modeling system as well as a micro-scale air quality monitoring system, which comprises as a micro-scale air quality management system, named AirScope. AirScope consists of CFD-based air quality modeling, USN-based sensor monitoring, and multi-modal interaction platform. In this paper, we present a brief overview of AirScope and several aspects of constructed initial indoor test environment with a few validity tests. The proposed system will be extended to an outdoor real-world testbed with most of modern urban elements.
