Boosting a Low-Cost Sensor Network with Mobile High-Quality Sensors
- Occupational health is an important topic, especially in industry, where workers are exposed to airborne by-products (e.g., dust particles and gases). Therefore, continuous monitoring of the air quality in industrial environments is crucial to meet safety standards. For practical and economic reasons, high-quality, costly measurements are currently only carried out sparsely, both in time and space, i.e., measurement data are collected in single day campaigns at selected locations only. Recent developments in sensor technology enable cost-efficient gas monitoring in real-time for long-term intervals. This knowledge of contaminant distribution inside the industrial environment would provide means for better and more economic control of air impurities, e.g., the possibility to regulate the workspace’s ventilation exhaust locations, can reduce the concentration of airborne contaminants by 50%.

This paper describes a concept proposed in the project “Robot-assisted Environmental Monitoring for Air Quality Assessment in Industrial Scenarios“ (RASEM). RASEM aims to bring together the benefits of both – low- and high-cost – measuring technologies: A stationary network of low-cost sensors shall be augmented by mobile units carrying high-quality sensors. Additionally, RASEM will develop procedures and algorithms to map the distribution of gases and particles in industrial environments.…
