The Centre of Innovation and Intelligent Infrastructures (CI3)<\/strong> <\/a>has participated in the official presentation of the SMairT<\/strong> environmental monitoring system in the city of Guadalajara, this method will allow citizens to obtain data about the quality of the air they breathe in real time.\u00a0CI3 is a foundation created to support the development of Ferrovial\u2019s Innovation environment. <\/a>Besides, Alcal\u00e1 de Henares University <\/a>and Junta of Castilla-La Mancha<\/a> are also part of CI3.<\/p>\n

Environmental monitoring system SMairT<\/h2>\n

SMairT is an environmental monitoring system<\/strong> which enables knowing about air quality indexes<\/strong> and creating a data cloud<\/strong> to control atmospheric pollution. This is done by using low cost devices<\/strong> that are spread all over the city. The first pilot has been developed by CI3 in Guadalajara with the contribution of the University of Alcal\u00e1 Electronics Department. The data from the weather station next to Junta de Comunidades has been taken as a reference to calibrate the sensors.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The development of this system, regarding hardware, software and firmware,<\/strong> has been framed into the innovation project with the same name. Such project consists on the implementation and display of three environmental parameters<\/strong> measuring stations, which are located in Pescadores<\/em> and Ram\u00f3n y Cajal<\/em> streets in the city of Guadalajara.<\/p>\n

Each of the SMairT stations includes environmental sensors<\/strong> which allow monitoring of sulfur dioxide (SO2), nitrogen dioxide (NO2), carbon monoxide (CO), ozone (O3)<\/strong> and particles in suspension (PM10).<\/strong> Moreover, the measuring points establish communication among themselves through 6LoWPAN<\/strong>, Internet of Things <\/a>protocol, by using the wireless network from sensors implemented within the frame of the SIMENON project.<\/strong><\/p>\n

SMairT offers citizens real time information about the quality of the air <\/strong>they breathe in the area selected for the display. Such information can be obtained through the project website,<\/a>\u00a0and also at the citizen information board, located at the Cultural Axis of the city. This board, through the code of colors established by the Air Quality Index (ICA), provides the citizen with the level of each parameter that is monitored (good, acceptable, deficient or bad).<\/p>\n

Living Lab Guadalajara<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The SMairT system is part of the range of projects displayed by CI3 within the open innovation space (Living Lab) created in Guadalajara due to the agreement signed in 2013 with the municipal consistory. More information about the projects displayed by CI3 in Guadalajara\u2019s Living Lab can be found in this video<\/a>.<\/p>\n
