Our projects consists of two parts. The first is data integrator platform that aims to aggregate data from different sources, apply some weighting mechanism and provide the most reliable data for the search parameters. The second part consists of a platform aimed at children, for raising awareness about air quality and air pollution in a fun and educative.
Air quality integrator
The source code for the application is on GitHub: air-quality-integrator.
It's a web application that aggregates data sets from different sources to provide the best available data for the location requested. Currently the system simply calculates the median value for the measurement, but the idea is to use more advanced algorithms to better decide what source of information should be used.
For the data we used Sample Data for the Surface-to-Air Quality Mission, Open AQ Platform, NEO Nasa Earth Observations and others.
AER Raising Awareness Platform
With the data provided by the Air Quality Integrator described above, we developed a platform to raise awareness about air quality and air pollution to children.
This platform goal is to represent the complex data about air quality in a simple and easy way.
We created an alien avatar, Marialien, to guide the children during this learning process.
