Abstract: To address the issues of high network latency and large prediction error in urban environment monitoring methods, this article offers a design approach for smart urban environment monitoring and optimisation system. Firstly, the system architecture was designed to deploy the communication network using NB-IOT technology, and the edge server was utilised to perform edge computation on the trace elements of the environment as a way to obtain new locations. Then the optimal weighting algorithm is applied for optimal solution fusion, and the fused measurements are the best monitoring data. Finally, the monitoring data are input into the BP neural network improved by particle swarm optimisation (PSO) method for environmental risk prediction. Experiments indicate that the proposed method reduces the network delay by 2.86 s-13.18 s and the prediction error by 0.0236-0.0777, which not only performs real-time environmental monitoring but also maintains a low prediction error.

Keywords: environmental monitoring; NB-IOT technology; optimal weighting; particle swarm optimisation algorithm; PSO; BP neural network.
