A Real-Time Vehicle Exhaust Gas Monitoring Enabled Optimization Approach for Air Pollution Control

Abstract:

This research described in the paper proposed a device combining wireless sensor technique, GPS and wireless charge technique. This device can be installed nearby the vehicle tailpipe and transmit measurement data of exhaust gas to the backend system in real-time. It facilitates knowledge of exhaust gas the vehicle generated on the route it passed. With this information, a reference system is developed to estimate gas pollution that will be generated by the vehicle on each route. An artificial intelligent method, case-based reasoning is applied in the system design. Meanwhile, a new mathematical model can be built with additional consideration for gas pollution in route planning and optimization of vehicles. Some optimization approaches, including genetic algorithm, and some other combination algorithm can be applied to get solution of this model with new additional constraints.
