The measurement of environmental data in city areas has become an important issue to municipalities due to several national, European and even international climate directives. However, fixed measurement stations are inflexible, cost-intensive and limited to monitoring environmental data in distinct key areas only. Large-scale data collection with a high spatial resolution requires mobile measurements, which are an active area of research but still offer many challenges. In this paper we give an overview of current approaches and challenges.
