ROKIDAIR project will be realized in four phases:
- Preliminary studies of pollutant loads in the studied areas, ranking of critical areas and system’s prototyping and design;
- Development of the monitoring infrastructure including micro-station’s sensors/hardware, the management system of the database, and the tools for geospatial analysis, pollutants’ correlation and forecasting;
- Testing and validation of the PM2.5 monitoring system including adjacent data communication and processing infrastructure; and
- Promoting the ROKIDAIR system to be used by relevant stakeholders –authorities and large public
The main outcomes of the ROKIDAIR project will be as follows:
- early warnings personalized data (oriented to children diseases or sensibilities) by correlating atmospheric trends with health impact on spatial and temporal basis,
- an advanced monitoring network system,
- schemes and schedules for PM2.5 survey,
- indoor-outdoor pollutant correlations at vulnerable receptors,
- artificial Intelligence forecasting tools of atmospheric composition trends, for early warnings
- an open-source dedicated GIS, and a versatile monitoring station prototype.
The main end-products envisaged within the project are considering the needs of the end-users’ health protection:
- PM2.5 thematic maps;
- PM2.5 heavy metals and VOCs thematic maps;
- ROKIDAIR web-based GIS with specific analysis and modelling functions;
- Micro-station prototype;
- ROKIDAIR AI model for PM2.5 forecasts – functional prototype based on AI techniques that will allow the prediction of PM2.5 and various toxic compounds contained in these particles at multi-locational scale;
- ROKIDAIR DSS – a decisional support system that will link the contamination levels data from databases with children’s health threats providing expert messages to the end-user segment;
- ROKIDAIR web-based early warning system;
- Report of children’s respiratory diseases in relation to urban air pollution in Targoviste and Ploiesti, Romania.
