Overview

Developed a system that utilizes drones to monitor air pollution over the Georgia Tech campus.

Technical Details

  • Identified potential pollution hotspots based on population density across campus for every hour of the day
  • Path-planning algorithms determined the minimum flight time across the graph to cover all areas on campus
  • Simulations were conducted to choose the optimal number and types of drones needed
