The Professional Solution

• 76 multi-function stations• huge and extremely expensive• 10+ meters above the ground• well-mixed atmosphere
Dr. Ling-Jyh Chen ([email protected])

But, the question in our mind is just so simple that…
What’s the air quality here and now?

Dr. Ling-Jyh Chen ([email protected])
We start the “participatory sensing" project in 2013
9
low-cost sensors recruiting volunteers
big data and spatio-temporal analysis
MAPS
Dr. Ling-Jyh Chen ([email protected])
Then, we realized that…
11
MAPS
cheap but inaccurate.. friends and students..
The data is small, sparse, and nothing we can analyze
low-cost sensors recruiting volunteers
big data and spatio-temporal analysis
Dr. Ling-Jyh Chen ([email protected])
After MAPS met LASS (2015/9)
12
MAPS
I don’t think we can overcome the scalability issue
Why are we always reinventing the wheels?
I really want to build a “participatory sensing” system
Dr. Ling-Jyh Chen ([email protected])
Then, the journey starts

The journey is speeding up• from 1 to 100 to 1,000 devices
• from 10km to 1km to 100m density
• from Taiwan to Asia, to the world
• involving academia, community, industry, and government

It’s not just a system by someone or some people. It’s an ecosystem by MANY parties of same goals.

The ecosystem in a nutshell
16
The core spirit: open hardware/software/data
Dr. Ling-Jyh Chen ([email protected])
17
The basis: lots of dirty works and experiments

Well, is this what we want?
31
sophisticated dashboard?
smartphones everywhere?
Dr. Ling-Jyh Chen ([email protected])
Let’s think about it deeper…
32
Can we enable something that never could be possible without LASS/AirBox?
Dr. Ling-Jyh Chen ([email protected])
Example 1: Emission Source Tracking

Many issues remaining
38
Correlation with traffic and
stationary emission sourceLASS/AirBox
device ranking
Smog forecast
Finer-grained PM2.5
dispersion model
Post-deployment sensor calibration
On-demand response
Government policymaking
Dr. Ling-Jyh Chen ([email protected])
We look forward to collaboration

Become the first node in your city
Promote LASS/AirBox in your city
Work together on data analysis
Contribute your crazy ideas and work together on that
Make your city smarter based on this system

• LJ will give the keynote
• Dr. Lim Hock Beng will give the tutorial
• 15 AirBox (free) for volunteers
• LASS International Deployment Plan
• We plan to expand our deployment to 120+ countries by 2017/7

Dr. Ling-Jyh Chen ([email protected])
Summary of the talk• We present the AirBox ecosystem for
PM2.5 monitoring.
• The core spirit of the ecosystem is “openness” for HW, SW, data, and mind.
• The journey is ongoing and speeding up; and we look forward to your participation.
• More details (& hands-on) will be given in ASEAN IVO/PRAGMA; and feel free to follow us :)
