Mobile Environmental Measurement Laboratory Using Electric Vehicles for Smart Cities

Nowadays, the capital cities and the main cities of the world have serious problems in transport and mobility, and this has a high impact on air quality due to the effects of traffic, such as traffic jams, traffic lights, and a large number of vehicles that work with an internal combustion engine. According to this, the alliance between the Ean University and the Mitsubishi Motors Company arose in 2018 to formulate a project that would impact electric mobility and increase the environmental benefits of it based on smart cities principles. This development, which was inaugurated in May 2019, shows the design of an environmental measurement system based on IoT, LTE, and data analytics that allows data to be taken with vehicles in motion and in real time for the generation of heat maps of the roads of the city. The design, installation, and dashboards for monitoring heat maps are registered in this paper. As well as, the expected impacts on environmental, social, and public policy issues applied to Bogota city.
