Environmental Monitoring and Assessment by Applying IoT for Reducing Pollution Caused by Vehicles

Abstract

The variables for the design of the vehicles are correlated and collectively affect the vehicle emissions. The conventional design of the vehicle includes the following variables: 1) a fuel pump 2) fuel storage tank 3) vapours of the fuel could be absorbed by the activated carbon canister 4) internal combustion engine for the gasoline-fuelled vehicles that has the spark-ignited engine and the diesel fuelled vehicle that has the compression ignited engine 5) Power transmission system that transfer the power to the wheels from the engine 6) an exhaust to minimize the emissions from the vehicle. The emissions from the vehicle could be influenced by the operating conditions of the engine. Maximum HC and NOX emission could happen in both the strong and lean conditions. The objective of this paper is to design a framework to analyze the pollution in the environment. Keywords: Internet of Things; Smart city; Pollution monitoring.
