Environmental IoT "VasP": Environmental sensing system using business vehicle
1 like923 views
The document describes an environmental IoT project called VasP that aims to gather micro-environmental data using sensor-equipped vehicles to provide information on air pollution levels. Currently, air pollution monitoring stations cannot provide high-resolution data for specific locations. VasP seeks to fill this gap by mapping factors like carbon monoxide, nitrogen dioxide, ozone, sulfur dioxide and more to evaluate living risk indexes and help people choose less polluted areas. The project exhibited successfully at an event and received feedback supporting measuring additional factors like PM2.5 and pursuing correlations between data points.
Environmental IoT "VasP": Environmental sensing system using business vehicle
- 2. LET’S AVOID AIR POLLUTION FORYOUR HEALTH we can do it with “VasP”
- 4. imagine… You’re plaining to play outside with your children in holiday
- 5. DANGER! DANGER! DANGER! DANGER! Then, you find the air monitoring stations show like this … What will you do? Are you staying at home? Are you going outside without any care…?
- 6. PLEASE REMEMBER, “AIR POLLUTION CAN KILL PEOPLE”
- 7. 1.6 million people per year died by Air Pollution in China 17% of whole death
- 8. how about in United States? • 300,000/year : Obesity related deaths • 101,000/year : Deaths due to lack of health care • 88,000/year :Air pollution related deaths (reported by US EPA) • 16,500/year : murders • 4,300/year : pedestrians killed by automobiles 5% of whole death Is it small? or big?
- 9. +27% +10ppb “Lung cancer risk” per “SO2 density” reported by Japanese Ministry of the Environment in 2008 researched over 10 year in 3 capital cities *10 ppb = 0.0000001%
- 10. Yearly average of PM2.5：12μg/m3 → 13μg/m3 Number of Asthma patients：46,000 → 140,000 Expectation reported by US EPA
- 11. We already had data accumulation… Why such less awareness? ↓ Shortage of the data resolution We don’t know actual situation “right here, right there”
- 12. DISTRIBUTION OF CURRENT MONITORING STATIONS If the place taking over 1 hour driving from San Francisco City is 30% less of lung cancer risk ….Will you go there with your children just for playing at the park?
- 13. high-resolution mapping produced byVasP max 4.7ppm = 4700ppb difference → lung cancer risk about x100 not 100% up , 100 times! This is the value of “micro environmental information” marina near 101 Now, you can choose where you play! *less than 1 mile between 2 places
- 14. what is “VasP” <MISSION> gather and provide “micro environmental information” all over the Earth * Vehicle as Probe =VasP
- 15. VasP unit battery mobile network sensors GPS * Vehicle as Probe =VasP
- 16. J-POP SUMMIT REVIEW 8th - 9th Aug. ’15 @Fort Mason Center in San Francisco
- 17. EXHIBITION gathered CO, CO2, NO2, Ozone, SO2, temperature, humidity, pressure, noise, UV, ambient light by bicycles mapped each data on web application
- 18. LRI = LIVING RISK INDEX our original index evaluating air pollution level connected with death and disease risk we knew mission area is better than market for living, but it’s shown as difference of “living risk”… the behavior of consumers could be changed market mission
- 19. MAJOR FEEDBACKS • Recommendation to measure PM2.5 and radiation (and pollen) • Lower awareness of environmental issues in SF (where is the best place?) • Correlations between multiple factors might make next innovation (nobody tried) Mr. Furukawa (former president of Microsoft Japan) Mr. Sugano (data scientist)
- 20. BUSINESS MODEL
- 21. make profit in each directions BUSINESS STRATEGY vehicle operators VasP government /business/ consumer data $ sensor unit $ services data services
- 22. TRACTION
- 23. COLLABORATION #1 “Simularity” correlation Census data withVasP data Startup company in Richmond City
- 24. COLLABORATION #1 “Simularity” we won the competition of Industrial Hackathon in “Meeting of Mind” Day1 Day2 Judges: Qualcomm, Cisco, Microsoft, Richmond City
