Microsensing networks for sustainable cities[electronic resource] /by Johannes Lambrechts, Saurabh Sinha. - Cham :Springer International Publishing :2016. - xiv, 339 p. :ill., digital ;24 cm. - Smart sensors, measurement and instrumentation,182194-8402 ;. - Smart sensors, measurement and instrumentation ;v.8..

Microsensing Networks for Sustainable Cities: Pollution as a Key Driving Factor -- Population Growth in Developing Countries and Smart City Fundamentals. The Internet-of-Things and Wireless Sensor Networks -- Modelling of Air and Water Pollution Sources -- Harvesting Energy from Ambient Sources: Wind Energy, Hydropower, Radiation and Mechanical Deformation -- The Sub-Systems of an Energy Harvesting Device: Focus on RFID Fundamentals -- Geographic Information Systems and Remote Sensing -- Ubiquitous Computing: Distributing Mobile Computing to Build a Global Network of Things -- Designing and Planning for Sustainable Urbanism with Focus on Developing Countries -- Tools and Facilitators towards Successful Planning for Sustainable Cities -- Case Studies: Developing Countries Committed to an Ecologically Aware Future.

This book explores the microsensing technologies and systems now available to monitor the quality of air and water within the urban environment and examines their role in the creation of sustainable cities against the background of the challenges posed by rapid urbanization. The opening section addresses the theoretical and conceptual background of microsensing networks. The coverage includes detailed description of microsensors, supported by design-specific equations, and clear explanation of the ways in which devices that harvest energy from ambient sources can detect and quantify pollution. The practical application of such systems in addressing environmental impacts within cities and in sustainable urban planning is then discussed with the aid of case studies in developing countries. The book will be of interest to all who wish to understand the benefits of microsensing networks in promoting sustainable cities through better delivery of information on health hazards and improved provision of data to environmental agencies and regulatory bodies in order to assist in monitoring, decision-making, and regulatory enforcement.
