Sustainable Network Management – The Integration of Intelligent Transport Systems and “Grid Enabled” Pervasive Sensors
Leicester’s intelligent transportation system (ITS) provides a rich source of data (from traffic detectors, monitored both in real-time and archived, Air Quality Monitoring Stations, weather stations and meteorological services) which is integrated in an Air Quality Modeling Systems framework. The MESSAGE Project’s ‘Grid enabled’ “e-Science” infrastructure demonstration shows how additional data from pervasive environmental sensors can improve the assessment of the impact of traffic and congestion on air quality, noise and exposure and informs the City’s Climate Change Strategy and Carbon Footprint via the 4M project. It also supports response to the European “Air Quality”, “Noise” and “Access to environmental Information” Directives, Strategic Policies and Public Health Challenge.
