Abstract
Monitoring and controlling the air-quality in urban area where high traffic density is recorded it’s a common practice in European Union today. But reaching the end-user and the source in the same time it’s another problem that has to be solved. The objectives of the present paper are to explore the application for air-quality management and to design a multidisciplinary program to implement methods for data collection and transfer (easy-to-use and easy-to-be-understood), directly on the dashboard of future green vehicles correlated with the most significant parameters, meaning the energy efficiency of the vehicle at each moment and urban public air-quality network. Specific objectives are a technical presentation of the program proposal for communication method in the case of an actual road vehicle and a practical set-up conducted in the Automotive Laboratory at Technical University from Cluj-Napoca with the specific data retrieved from air-quality management network. Results are consisting in applied plan for air-quality data transfer from public server to car management module and a protocol for infotainment data availability on-board. There are data collected and specifically analyzed and discussed to highlight most important ideas related to automotive infotainment and data transfer improvement possibilities. There were also mentioned specific results recorded in the first stages of implementing the data transfer idea to the mobile equipment in the vehicle on-board data cluster. Air quality measurements from specific public areas are important because they are interacting with other factors (traffic density, social and economic trends etc.), making the situation more critical.
