The project
RI.P.E.G. is an industrial-research and experimental-development project funded by the POR FESR 2007–2013 programme (Tuscany Region, POR CREO, PRSE Action 1.1). The goal: build an innovative portable system for real-time monitoring of urban air pollution.
What it measures
- Ultrafine particulate (PM)
- Ozone (O₃)
- Carbon monoxide (CO)
- Nitrogen oxides (NOx)
The innovation
The system integrates innovative sensors mounted on mobile vehicles, collecting measurements while moving and streaming data in real time to a central server via GPS, UMTS, WiFi or WiMAX. Data is archived and processed for geographic air-quality monitoring.
The consortium
Three Tuscan SMEs developed the project together: Alitec Srl, noze Srl and SICE Telecomunicazioni Srl.
noze’s role
noze contributed to the data acquisition, transmission and storage software, and to the backend infrastructure.
