Abstract :

 With every passing day we are battling a serious and dangerous challenge, Pollution. It is increasing at an alarmingly rate. There’s an urgent need to exercise counter measures to curb it. To come up with an effective counter measure, we need to have accurate and useful data of weather parameters that will show the rise in levels of pollution. The weather parameters give us a comparative data as to which parameter hits the most due to rise in pollution and in what pattern.

 

I have chosen my city Ahmedabad as test city to deploy my design to capture these data and use it in aiding authority to curb pollution issue.

 

Drawback of the current pollution stations is that they were located in laboratories and at very distant places from each other. Moreover, being bulky in size they couldn’t be installed at junction places where there was a dire need of monitoring the air. Hence, Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation took up the responsibility to install 10 Poll drones as a pilot project across the city todetermine the pollution at key junction points.

 

 

They began setting up digital sensors around the entire city area for measuring various weather parameters.

 

My job is to design a small, portable device for collecting weather report of various parameters. Out of a set of many parameters I have chosen humidity to begin with. I will be designing a device that just on plug-in into a laptop or PC would start collecting data off the environment around and generate reports in Excel format for further analysis and decision making.

 

OBJECTIVES

Old Weather station is being bulky size they couldn’t be installed at junction places more difficult. So I am try to design a small, portable device (like to pen drive type) for collecting weather report of various parameter. This product is operated by battery (Battery operated life 1 to 3 year)

 as well as power supply.Here, digital sensor is used so we do not required amplifier.In form of relay we get digital output.PIC 16F877 microcontroller is programmable, easily upgradable and compact in size.On-site input is possible using key-board.Data is transfer Wi-Fi andUSB through. Data storage in inbuilt memory 10,000 storage data.By making this product IoT based, open system connectivity.
