Need
The Inter-University Microelectronics Centre (IMEC) expressed interest in conducting an air quality study using sensor-based mobile monitoring stations to analyse pollutant concentrations, both spatially and temporally, and thus develop models based on mobile air quality data and interpolate the readings.
Official air quality monitoring networks are scientifically robust and accurate but have a very limited spatial resolution as pollutant concentrations can vary greatly in space and time.
This is why IMEC wanted to analyse the potential of complementary air quality sensor networks, which allow local sampling at different locations and over time.
