ABSTRACT
Forecasting of air quality is an emerging process to evade the entailment of several defects for human as well as environmental resources. Because of the poor quality of air substances, air pollution occurs. Living beings and other economic resources get affected by this polluted air very frequently. Therefore, air quality prediction is a trendsetting method to maintain a healthy life and infrastructure. Though multiple existing models are implemented, managing high-level data and deploying such standard models become cumbersome. Rather than indoor air quality, the ambient (outdoor) air quality should require the prediction process as it exists in the open environment. Thus, an intelligent ambient air quality prediction model is needed, which is designed in this paper by adopting a heuristic-aided deep learning model. The original air data is initially fetched from the three diverse data sources. It is followed by the data pre-processing stage with standard techniques. Subsequently, the resultant data is given to Adaptive Serial Cascaded Autoencoder and Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) with Multivariate Regression (ASCA-LSMR), in which some of the hyper-parameters are tuned by proposing the novel algorithm as Fitness-based Improved Flow Direction Algorithm (FIFDA) to produce the better prediction results. Finally, experimental results indicate that our method enables more accurate predictions than all the listed traditional models and performs better in predictive performance. The RMSE of the designed FIFDA-ASCA-LSMR method attains 31.9%, 33.5%, 6.66%, and 23.7% elevated than SSA-ASCA-LSMR, DHOA-ASCA-LSMR, EHO-ASCA-LSMR, and FDA-ASCA-LSMR, for dataset 2. Thus, the designed ambient air quality prediction model reveals better performance than the other baseline approaches.
