Smartaqnet – high-resolution monitoring of urban air quality

The Smart Air Quality Net (SmartAQnet) project aims to implement an intelligent, reproducible, finely-tuned (spatial, temporal), yet cost-effective air quality measuring network, initially in the model region of Augsburg, Germany. The SmartAQnet research initiative focuses on the subject of data access and data-based applications. Central to this is the development and utilization of partial, already existing (but not yet combined) data on the one hand and the collection and integration of relevant missing data on the other hand. This includes the integration of third-party sources as well as the development of novel measuring devices as well as an improvement of the overall data quality and the identification and implementation of meaningful interfaces between devices, databases and the end user.
