Toolbox
Home Toolbox Usage examples About us

The main goal of the toolbox developed in Citi-Sense-MOB is to provide guidance for the future, to include novel sensors for air quality monitoring. The toolbox addressed the following components

• server side management of sensor data
• user applicability, using apps
• widgets and code-snippets

The Citi-Sense-MOB toolbox

Server infrastructure

In CSM data is collected either from AQ sensors or from mobile app. Collected data will be store later on main server. To enable data sources reusability, this section, gives an overview needed information to use these resources. At the beginning, it gives an overview CSM servers, later it describes the accepted XML format for data posted from mobile app or sensors to CSM sever.

CSM Servers

In CSM, the core of data storage is the Spatial and Environmental Data Services (SEDS) platform (version 2.2) implemented on an Amazon Cloud instance. This SEDS platform provided by Snowflake Software Company (a partner of the CITI-SENSE project). http://www.snowflakesoftware.com/company/. SEDS platform has three fundamental components, shown within below figure, being:-

• Data Ingestion – WFS-T services over https to load data into a relation database
• Data Storage- a relation database
• Data Publication – open web services both WFS and web services over https.

Inclusion of existing information

• Fixed stations
• Pollen information for

Supported Sensors

This section presents links to sensors platforms being used and tested in the Citi-Sense-MOB project:

• DunavNET, http://www.dunavnet.eu/

 Gases: NO, NO2, O3, CO, CO2, Temperature, Relative humidity, atmospheric pressure

• UrVaMM Ingenieros Asesores, http://www.ingenierosasesores.com/index.php

 Gases: NO2 and CO

• Cairpol, http://www.cairpol.com/index.php?lang=en

 Gases: NO2 and O3

• AQMesh, http://www.aqmesh.com/

 Gases: NO, NO2, O3, CO, PM10, PM2.5

• LEO, http://citisense.ateknea.com/

 Gases: NO, NO2, O3

Step-by-step procedure to add your sensor

The way on how to include a new sensor consists of the following steps

1. Buy a sensor, currently we support the sensors listed in #Supported Sensors

2. With your sensor you will receive a SensorID, e.g. xxxxxx (for Dunavnet sensor)

3. Send us your sensor idea through the #Register your sensor form

4. We will then get in contact with you to explain how the sensors can be integrated

Register your sensor

as soon as we have filled in the page, I will protect it such that we can test CSM_Sensor_Registration
