Air Quality Monitoring System for Montevideo

Introduction

Montevideo, characterized by its favorable climate and geographical conditions for natural pollutant dispersion, faces challenges in air quality management due to emissions from diverse urban activities. This project develops a BI tool to automate data extraction, integration, cleaning, and analysis concerning Montevideo's air quality.

Project Scope

Objectives

• Data Integration: Merge data from various sources relevant to air quality management.
• User Interface: Develop an intuitive interface for ongoing data uploads to the Data Warehouse (DW).
• Analytical Tools: Implement custom BI tools for extensive data analysis, including OLAP, dashboards, and geographic data visualization.
• User Experience: Ensure the system is user-friendly and meets the analytical needs of its users.

Expected Outcomes

• Deploy a functional BI tool prototype.
• Complete comprehensive project documentation and a user manual.
• Equip students with practical knowledge on BI system development.

System Architecture

This section describes the high-level architecture of the air quality monitoring system, including data sources, ETL processes, DW design, and end-user interfaces.

Components

• Data Sources: Include sensors from the air quality monitoring network, government databases, and historical records.
• ETL Layer: Automated scripts for data extraction, transformation, and loading.
• Data Warehouse: A centralized repository designed to support query and analysis.
• BI Tools: Custom applications for data analysis, including OLAP cubes and interactive dashboards.
