Vāyu Darpan Emission Inventory Tracker
Leveraging Technology to Build Emissions Inventories
Creating Decision Support Systems Based on Authenticated
Scientific Data
Vāyu Darpan – Emission Inventory Tracker (EIT) is a unique Software-as-a-Service offering that automates the process of building Emission Inventories and identifying pollution sources and diagnosing specific emission problems. Using advanced Machine Learning and Environmental models, Vāyu Darpan–EIT not only measures pollution levels, but also identifies specific sectors, urban activities and locations that contribute to poor air quality.
Air Pollution:
Addressing the root-cause
Rapidly rising pollution levels in India, as well as their harmful health impacts are now well-documented. According to the WHO, India is home to 22 of the 30 most polluted cities in the world and sees almost 2 million deaths as direct results of air pollution. Unfortunately, measurement devices like Environmental monitoring Stations and Sensors do not give us any new information, but only confirm what we already know.
Process Flow-EIT
Data Collection
EIT collects data on sectorial activity and operations
taking place in a location
Calculate Emissions
EIT uses ML-driven models to calculate emissions contributed by each activity
Identify Pollution Sources
EIT identifies and presents major pollution contributing sectors and activities along with their locations
Action Plan & Policy
Targeted action plans and policy decisions are made to address specific problems identified by EIT
The focus has to be now on data-driven, analytical tools that deliver actionable data on pollution sources, contributors and their impacts and that can enable targeted policy structuring. These tools need to be cost-effective, replicable and scalable in order to address pollution at National and International scales.
Vāyu Darpan-EIT: Product Overview
Vāyu Darpan–EIT is the first automated, cost-effective and scalable Air Pollution diagnostics system. It leverages advanced ML and environmental models and integrates with government, scientific and other validated databases. This information is used to build emission inventories, identify pollution sources and democratize emissions knowledge across various stakeholders.
Vāyu Darpan–EIT uses reliable inputs from information on traffic levels, population, industrial and urban activities. The application also allows the users the flexibility to upload their own data and enhance the quality of the outcomes. Proprietary algorithms analyze these inputs and return accurate emission estimates that are visualized on interactive dashboards and heat-maps. Analytical tools included in the solution provide the user with a complete environmental decision-support-system.
