Study and Prediction of Air Quality in Smart Cities through Machine Learning Techniques Considering Spatiotemporal Components
Year: 2023
Type: dissertation
Abstract: Air quality is considered one of the top concerns. Information and knowledge about air quality can assist in effectively monitoring and controlling concentrations, reducing or preventing its harmful impacts and consequences. The complexity of air quality dependence on various components in spatiotemporal dimensions creates additional challenges to acquire this information. The current dissertation proposes machine learning and deep learning technologies that are capable of capturing and processing multidimensional information and complex dependencies controlling air quality. The following components come together to formulate the novelty of the current work: spatiotemporal forecast of the defined prediction target (nitrogen dioxide); incorporation and integration of air quality, meteorological and traffic data with their features/variables in spatiotemporal dimensions within a certain spatial extent and temporal interval; the consideration of coronavirus disease 2019 as an external key factor impacting air quality level; and provision of the code and data implemented to incentivise and guarantee reproducibility.
