Vehicle Pollution Monitoring System using IoT

The environmental concerns are on the rise these days. Car, bus, and truck air pollutants can worsen respiratory diseases and cause asthma attacks. Transportation is responsible for airborne carbon monoxide at more than 50 per cent. At present, the emissions of the vehicle is checked with the aid of pollution control stations built in some cities only when the fitness certificate (FC) is obtained from the RTO office. In case of private cars, the health certificates are valid for 15 years and every 5 years thereafter. In case of Transport Vehicles, the fitness certificate is given for a new vehicle for 2 years and then extended each year. Under this process, we cannot detect emissions caused if the vehicle has been repaired until FC. Using IoT Technology, this project aims to monitor and alert air pollution on roads and to track vehicles that cause emissions above a given threshold by connecting the Global System of Mobile Communications Network to the cloud. This also concentrates on avoiding the accidents caused by vehiclegenerated carbon monoxide gas using MQ7 Gas sensor.
