A Multi-Sensor Approach for Thermal Environment Monitoring in Public Transport

Résumé fourni par la source

Globally it is found that many vehicles do not have built-in intelligent monitoring systems which is very much dangerous especially when the temperature of the indoor environment is rising. This research fulfills the need by designing a thermal indoor environment monitoring device that increases the safety and intelligence of vehicles. The device collects and records a number of environmentally significant parameters like temperature, pressure, both indoor and outdoor humidity, light intensity, TVOC, CO2 levels, and GPS position. Large amounts of data were collected from different cars, buses and trains for both local city and inter-city environments. These datasets helped in the deployment of intelligent monitoring and management techniques which helped with the intervention. The outcomes of our experiments show that it is possible to enhance the safety and comfort of car passengers with the help of innovative solutions, for instance, pre-staging air conditioning when the temperature starts to rise. This research benefits the smart vehicle development field and provides a strong solution to Pakistan's environmental monitoring issues in the transportation industry.
