畫 AirBox: Micro Air-Quality Sensing System
Principal Investigator: Dr. Ling-Jyh Chen
Project Period: 2016/1~2021/12
Micro air-quality sensing is an emerging paradigm that sensing since 2013. We launched the AirBox project
combines advances in low-cost air sensors, long-range in 2015, which engages citizens to participate in fine
low-power communication, and big data analysis for particulate matter (a.k.a. PM2.5) sensing and empowers
environmental monitoring. Compared to conventional participants to make low-cost PM2.5 sensing devices on
environmental monitoring systems, it is more cost-e ective their own. The project has grown rapidly with support from
for large-scale and dense deployments, and it can provide local governments, domestic IT companies, and citizen
measurements at a finer spatio-temporal scale. In recent communities. In 2019, our project was awarded a 4-year
