Construction Site Dust (PM) Level Measurement and Sprinkler Triggering
Scenario record: it defines the environment, the mission flow and a proposed hardware and software configuration. The list below is a configuration proposal, not an installation inventory. Field projects lists deployed systems and their measurements.

The problem addressed
Environmental penalties and friction with surrounding community from construction site dust emissions exceeding legal limits.
Draft mission flow
- 1The robot patrols autonomously around the construction site perimeter; continuously measures PM2.5 and PM10 dust levels.
- 2Dust dispersion map created by correlating with wind direction and speed; risk to surrounding residences evaluated.
- 3Site sprinkler system automatically triggered when dust level exceeds legal limit; water spray zones optimized based on dust source.
- 4Real-time data transmitted to municipal environmental measurement network; daily dust compliance report presented to site manager.
Proposed hardware
- PM2.5/PM10 Particle Counter
- Humidity/Wind Sensor
- WiFi 6E Communication
- LiDAR L2
Proposed software
- Navigation
- Autonomous patrol with stops at dust source points around construction site
- Model
- Dust Concentration Map and Dispersion Prediction Based on Wind Direction
- Integration
- Municipal Environmental Measurement Network and Site Sprinkler Control System

Values are manufacturer data. Scenario fit is determined by comparing these limits with site conditions.
From scenario to installation
Feasibility is determined by the site survey: floor and route, network coverage, the charging point, intervention responsibilities and the conditions under which the robot must stop. The survey report defines the scope, the constraints and the commissioning steps.
