The present thesis work is part of the European Horizon 2020 project called PULSE (Participatory Urban Living for Sustainable Environments). One of the objectives of the PULSE project is the assessment of the impact on public health of the environmental conditions detected through a network of sensors for atmospheric particulate in seven pilot cities: Madrid, Paris, Singapore, New York, Barcelona, Birmingham, Keelung and Pavia. The purpose of the thesis was the creation of a system for the collection, management and sharing of data collected by a network of low-cost air quality sensors installed in the city of Pavia. In particular, the objective of the work was the implementation of the entire software infrastructure for the management of the sensor network, which includes: - the definition of the database, which maintains the entire history of the collected data; - the implementation of an application that constantly downloads the raw data of the sensors and stores them in this database, even in aggregate form; - a system able to filter the raw data to manage any sensor reading errors; - the implementation of a system that sends the data of the sensors to the central database of the project, through REST services, in which the data of all the pilot cities are collected; - the development of a mobile application able to provide citizens with real-time information about the quality of the air, to make them aware of the environmental conditions in which they live. This application provides the position and the most recent measure of particulate of the individual stations installed and has the purpose of involving and guiding the behavior and activities of citizens.
Il presente lavoro di tesi si colloca nell’ambito del progetto europeo Horizon 2020 denominato PULSE (Participatory Urban Living for Sustainable Environments). Uno degli obiettivi del progetto PULSE riguarda la valutazione dell’impatto sulla salute pubblica delle condizioni ambientali rilevate attraverso reti di sensori di particolato atmosferico in sette città pilota: Madrid, Parigi, Singapore, New York, Barcellona, Birmingham, Keelung e Pavia. Scopo del lavoro di tesi è stato la realizzazione di un sistema per la raccolta, gestione e condivisione dei dati raccolti da una rete di sensori di qualità dell’aria a basso costo installati nella città di Pavia. In particolare, obiettivo del lavoro è stata l’implementazione dell’intera infrastruttura software per la gestione della rete di sensori, che comprende: - la definizione della base di dati che mantiene in modo coerente l’intero storico dei dati raccolti; - l’implementazione di un applicativo che scarica costantemente i dati grezzi dei sensori e li memorizza in tale database, anche in forma aggregata; - un sistema in grado di filtrare i dati grezzi per gestire eventuali errori di lettura dei sensori; - l’implementazione di un sistema che provvede a inviare, attraverso servizi REST, i dati dei sensori al database centrale del progetto, nel quale vengono raccolti i dati di tutte le città pilota; - lo sviluppo di un’applicazione di telefonia mobile in grado di fornire ai cittadini informazioni in tempo reale circa la qualità dell’aria, per renderli consapevoli delle condizioni ambientali in cui vivono. Tale applicazione fornisce la posizione e la misura più recente di particolato delle singole stazioni installate e ha lo scopo di coinvolgere e orientare i comportamenti e le attività dei cittadini.
Un'Infrastruttura software per la gestione e condivisione dei dati di monitoraggio della qualità dell’aria nella città di Pavia.

Abstract
The present thesis work is part of the European Horizon 2020 project called PULSE (Participatory Urban Living for Sustainable Environments). One of the objectives of the PULSE project is the assessment of the impact on public health of the environmental conditions detected through a network of sensors for atmospheric particulate in seven pilot cities: Madrid, Paris, Singapore, New York, Barcelona, Birmingham, Keelung and Pavia. The purpose of the thesis was the creation of a system for the collection, management and sharing of data collected by a network of low-cost air quality sensors installed in the city of Pavia. In particular, the objective of the work was the implementation of the entire software infrastructure for the management of the sensor network, which includes: - the definition of the database, which maintains the entire history of the collected data; - the implementation of an application that constantly downloads the raw data of the sensors and stores them in this database, even in aggregate form; - a system able to filter the raw data to manage any sensor reading errors; - the implementation of a system that sends the data of the sensors to the central database of the project, through REST services, in which the data of all the pilot cities are collected; - the development of a mobile application able to provide citizens with real-time information about the quality of the air, to make them aware of the environmental conditions in which they live.
