Abstract:
An innovative pollution resource management scheme is proposed to tackle air pollution. The scheme introduces a novel concept of a pollution grant, a centralised pollution grant scheduler and accompanying pollution grant signalling between the scheduler and controlled polluting vehicle or a stationary source in a co-operative ITS environment. The scheme is analysed and discussed qualitatively as it can be effectively applied to controlled emission zones in cities and as a result, can improve the pollution control fairness, effectiveness and efficiency. The scheme can be implemented as a new pollution resource management function in 5G wireless base station within MEC architecture to leverage its low latency capabilities in parallel to its traditional radio resource management role.
