The proposed project aims to develop an IoT system to provide personalized services for enhancing urban resilience to atmospheric pollution and climate change. The specific objectives of the project are as follows:

Objective 1: The development of the AirSensis Plus IoT system that will collect air quality data (main pollutants and basic environmental conditions, such as temperature and relative humidity).

Objective 2: The development of software that provides immediate and understandable personalized information in the form of qualitative and/or quantitative indicators and informative messages, designed according to the needs of each user/application.

Objective 3: The system will operate in indoor and outdoor spaces, and the infrastructure will have the potentiality of an expansion, interoperability, and 5G network capabilities.

Objective 4: Provision of simulated services through the development and implementation of methods that allow the calculation of personalized air quality indicators based on user needs and the sensor’s installation location.

Objective 5: Ability to provide services without the requirement of owning a measuring device (virtualization).

Aims to define the requirements and specifications of the solutions, strategies, and project dissemination activities.
