These RAMP sensors are portable, low-cost sensors for gaseous air pollutants and particulate matter (PM) that have been developed at Carnegie Mellon and will be mounted on utility poles, using the access already provided by SURTRAC for their equipment. The existing SURTRAC architecture in East Liberty provides an important platform to study urban air quality through unprecedented approaches that could be replicated across city neighborhoods and which could eventually be scaled across the Pittsburgh metropolitan region. No other system like this currently exists. sensors-RAMPS.jpg Utility City of Pittsburgh Allegheny County PA Carnegie Mellon University Intelligent Transportation Pittsburgh PA Allegheny County PA Development 2023-01-25T01:27:07Z 2459969.5604977 Low-cost Air Quality Monitoring RAMPs in Pittsburgh PA
