Abstract
A method for localizing the source of air pollution that includes receiving pollution data from a network in communication with at least one air pollution sensor that is connected to at least one motor vehicle in a stationary position. Each stationary motor vehicle of the network is positioned at a different air pollution measurement location. The method may further include determining from the pollution data an origin of an air pollutant using an air pollution model provided by a pollutant source localization device including at least one hardware processor.

10. A system for determining the source of an air pollutant comprising:
-
a network for receiving pollution data on at least one air pollutant from a plurality of stationary motor vehicles at different air quality measuring locations, wherein said pollution data is provided by a plurality of sensors integrated into the stationary motor vehicles, wherein said plurality of sensors include at least one pollution sensor that is integrated with a GPS system of the motor vehicle; and a pollutant source localization device including at least one hardware processor that is configured to produce an air pollution model describing at least one of diffusion and advection of gasses, wherein integrating the pollution data into the air pollution model provides an origin of a pollutant source for the at least one air pollutant. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 15, 16, 17, 18)
