Wireless Sensor Network Components for Air Pollution Monitoring in the Urban Environment:Criteria and Analysis for Their Selection

摘要

Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) are fast evolving technology for collecting data in real time. Every wireless sensor network (WSN) is consisted of technical and software components which have to refer to the selected application. The paper focuses on the selection of WSN components. The WSN will be situated in the center of Olomouc City (OWSN). It will focus on measurements of harmful air pollutants and selected basic meteorological elements. The criteria for selection of WSN components including the most important parameters will be chosen and the final evaluation of the option utility will be made on the basis of multicriteria decision making process.
