Deep Learning Solutions for Real-Time Monitoring of CO₂ Levels in Smart City Environments
Volume 4
Abstract
The continuous monitoring and management of CO₂ emissions are essential for developing sustainable and livable smart cities. This study introduces a deep learning-based framework for real-time CO₂ level monitoring across urban environments using IoT sensor networks. Data collected from strategically deployed sensors in traffic zones, industrial areas, and residential neighborhoods are analyzed using advanced deep learning models such as Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) and Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) networks. These models enable accurate prediction and pattern recognition of CO₂ concentration trends, facilitating timely interventions and policy decisions. The integration of deep learning enhances data interpretation, anomaly detection, and system scalability. Results demonstrate the model's effectiveness in providing high-resolution, real-time insights into urban air quality dynamics, supporting environmental sustainability, and informing smart governance strategies.
