Healthy Route Generation and Recommendation
Authors: , ,
Abstract: This paper presents the utilization of a developed pilot wireless-based Air Quality Index (AQI) monitoring system, reporting live geo-grid resolved air quality data, for the purposes of healthy route generation and recommendation to users. The generated routes are visualized on a map and recommended to users through a specially developed web-based application, as part of the client tier of the supporting IoT platform EMULSION. A distributed computing architecture is utilized for the generation of healthy (more precisely, ‘least air pollution exposure’) routes, performed in near real-time using the dynamic Dijkstra algorithm, based on the interpolated AQI values. In addition, the fastest and shortest routes for each journey, requested by a user, are generated as well. The importance of the presented work lies within the practical applicability of the proposed method for healthy route generation, either as a stand-alone version of the software application developed for the purpose or integrated into the existing popular navigation systems and applications alike.
