The Development of UAV-based Air Quality Monitor System.

This paper proposes the development of real-time air quality monitor system based on unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), which can effectively compensate for the lack of mobility and immediateness of air pollution monitoring operations. The system includes a detection sampling site and a ground receiving station, using wireless communication to performs data transmission and remote control. And the detection sampling terminal uses an unmanned aerial vehicle equipped with a microcontroller, volatile organic compounds, temperature and humidity sensing modules. The detection sampling terminal can detect air quality, and carries a gas sampling tank to collect air samples. The ground receiving station can remotely control the detection sampling terminal, display and record the received air data.
