Abstract
Methods, systems, and computer program products for suggesting sensor placements are provided herein. A method includes simulating the concentration of a pollutant over an area covered by a sensor network grid by applying models to an emission inventory corresponding to the area; computing any discrepancy between the simulated concentration and historical data; applying scaling vectors to the first version to generate scaled versions of the emission inventory; re-simulating the concentration of the pollutant by applying the models to the scaled versions, and computing any discrepancy between the re-simulated concentrations and the historical data; identifying each scaling vector that corresponds with a discrepancy within a pre-determined range; applying the identified scaling vectors to an emission inventory value of each of the grid blocks to generate scaled emission inventory values; determining the grid blocks having high variability within scaled emission inventory values; and suggesting a sensor placement at the determined grid blocks.
