Real-time Geosensors for Air Quality Modelling

In order to gain a clearer understanding of how road traffic has a direct impact on the air quality, Newcastle University, as part of the Newcastle University Integrated Database and Assessment Platform (NUIDAP, 2012), have integrated a number of raw and processed realtime data sources from meteorological, air quality and traffic sensors. Traffic controllers now have access to the location and values of pollutants and derived air quality metrics. Two test sites in UK at Medway in Kent and Newcastle upon Tyne have been used to validate the NUIDAP outputs supplied to Urban Traffic Control (UTC) centres.
