  Mobile Environmental Sensing System Across Grid Environments



 Alternative approach to high cost
environmental & traffic monitoring
infrastructure.

 Existing installations give poor spatial &
temporal resolution.

Large numbers of low cost, ‘pervasive’
sensors (MOTEs) can be deployed for
similar investment.

Wireless, battery powered devices
mounted on street furniture, vehicles or
even pedestrians.

 Conclusions & Further work


Construction of low cost, wireless multi-
sensor devices appears feasible.

Initial sensor validation results are very
encouraging.

 Work is ongoing in the validation of low-
cost sensor subsystems against precision
instruments in the field.

Large scale deployment (up to 200 nodes)
