DESIGNING DATA ACQUISITION KIT SUPPORT FOR ENVIRONMENT MONITORING

Abstract

It is essential to continuously observe and monitor the environment, because of unpredictable change of climate and increase of air pollution. To do that, a system, which can warn abnormalities or risks of air pollution and deterioration, then create a database of environmental quality, is needed. In order to improve the ability to provide real time data and regional environmental warnings, we proposed a compact design for data acquisition and transmission through GPRS to the center. Data acquisition systems are analogue signals as inputs, those allow sensors to measure environmental parameters (temperature, humidity, and CO). These data are stored directly on the memory of the module, then they will be transferred to the storage center. After that, all the data will be analyzed at the center. In the end of the process, warnings of changing environment will be given by the system. In addition, the design has a GPS position tracking to point out exactly its location of installation. The working design will be supported by solar panels for a whole 24-hour operation. Furthermore, by changing sensors at the inputs and flexibly reinstalling the program on the module, our design is also looking forwards to the IoT (internet of thing), one of the latest tendency of application of new technology.
