Abstract
During the past decades, ecological awareness has been steadily gaining popularity. Especially in so called Megacities, the burden caused by air pollution is very high, as millions of people live together in a localized manner. To be aware of the current pollution status, selective measuring stations where deployed in the past. The idea of this work is to enable the masses to participate in obtaining and using their own measurements, e.g. with future generations of mobile phones that are equipped with adequate sensors. The proposed platform allows for a high resolution environmental monitoring and provides additional services such as Eco Routing or visualization. Furthermore, we will present the results of the platform’s performance as well as a comparison between the traditional (shortest/fastest) routing and the novel (shortest/fastest) Eco Routing approach.
