Monitoring Traffic Air Pollution Using Unmanned Aerial Systems

Air Quality monitoring is traditionally performed by ground stations, and more recently by satellites. However, rapid, comprehensive data collection near pollution sources is not always feasible due to site complexity, relocation of pollution sources, or physical barriers. For these reasons unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) equipped with various air quality sensors are being introduced, offering new approaches and capabilities for monitoring air pollution, as well as studying atmospheric trends, such as climate change, while ensuring safety in urban and industrial areas. Due to small amount of data in the available literature, it is assumed that the research area is still at an early stage of development. Future research should include increase in flight endurance, payload, accuracy and sensitivity of sensors, and above all sensor calibration and flight planning in order to obtain the highest quality data.
