Overview / Usage

AQI Forecast App gives a week-long forecast of Air Quality Index. This project is aimed to help people suffering from moderate to severe health issues. People suffering from such health issues can check the predicted AQI level for a specific day on which they wish to go out. If the predicted AQI level on that specific day comes out to be above safe level, it means the air quality isn't good, and they can avoid going out on those days. People can also read about blogs/articles on steps to curb the air pollution. Every year, lakhs of people die due to air pollution, this product will help to fight this issue and help society.

Methodology / Approach

We collected government data of PM 2.5 which is a major pollutant. Converted PM 2.5 into AQI using a simple equation and prepared an AQI dataset for different cities. We used a framework by Faceboohk -- Prophet to do the week-long forecast. Interface is an Android App. Will be sending the data dynamically to the app using Firebase. We are further planning to consider diverse parameters for prediction instead of relying on a framework.

Technologies Used

R, Prophet, Panda, Android dev, Firebase.
